1155 The endless loop of sound

Xue Lin fumbled around in the dark cave. She was scared, but not so scared that she couldn't move.

This was because traditional horror games had a limited visual range. The smaller the visual range, the more terrifying the player would be.

For example, a normal person's range of vision in an open area was 300 to 500 meters. In caves and buildings, due to the limitations of the buildings, this range might be a few meters. In the dark, this range would be further reduced to one or two meters, or even darkness.

Darkness represented the unknown and danger, so the smaller the range of vision, the stronger the fear in the players 'hearts.

However, the difference of this game was that even though the surroundings were dark, the players could see everything around them.

However, it was from this 'bat perspective'.

On one hand, the darkness strengthened the fear in the players 'hearts. On the other hand, all the factors could be seen to alleviate this fear to a certain extent.

With these two feelings stacked together, Xue Lin was not as scared as before.

However, there was a problem with this, and that was that the players became extremely sensitive to sound.

It was well known that when a person's vision was limited, their hearing would become more sensitive. For example, many blind people had better hearing and touch than normal people.

At this moment, Xue Lin was in such a state. Her surroundings were pitch black, with only a large number of white empty frames. Under the situation where her vision was limited, her hearing became extremely sharp.

At this time, the cave was very quiet, so every subtle sound would hurt her nerves.

When the protagonist walked onto the metal platform, there would be a crisp sound of footsteps. When they walked in the water, there would be the sound of water. The protagonist had to clap, cough, and talk to explore the way, and these sounds were particularly obvious in the quiet cave.

Thus, there was a problem-if they wanted to see further, they had to make a louder sound, but the louder the sound, the more insecure the players would feel.

If you were walking in an unfamiliar, dark environment and you didn't know where the enemy would be, a normal person would be careful not to make a sound to avoid being noticed by the enemy.

Shouting and yelling in the dark was something that went against human survival instincts, but in this game, players had to do so in order to see their surroundings clearly.

The cave was a winding road, but fortunately, there were no forks in the road. It was a complete road.

However, every time she turned a corner or needed to Crouch and pass an obstacle, Xue Lin would feel her muscles tense up and her hair stand on end.

After walking forward for about two minutes and passing through countless intersections, a sharp cry came from the front again.

This sound was a bit like a baby's cry in horror movies. It was sharp, high-pitched, and lasted for a long time. In such a quiet environment, it was simply mental pollution.

What was worse was that every time this scream came, the surrounding white frames would be dyed red, giving people a very strong sense of danger.

Lin Xue could determine the location of the monster from the source of the red sound wave. It was getting closer and closer.

"I feel like I'm dying ... But I suddenly understand why this game is called a low-cost horror game. The cost is really low ..."

Lin Xue had never seen a game that could save so much money ...

This was because other than the starting scene, the main level scenes were all in this kind of dark environment. There was no need for any stickers, just a white outline was enough ...

In other horror games, in order to set up a scary scene, they often had to create very complicated scenes and monsters. All kinds of blood, broken limbs, internal organs, and so on were made to be as realistic as possible.

This game didn't use it at all. Everything was just an outline, and it was particularly scary ...

As they walked further in, Xue Lin finally saw the true face of the monster.

"Oh my God, what is this? it's so disgusting. Mom, I want to go home ..."

Xue Lin didn't even dare to speak loudly as she observed the terrifying monster from afar.

The voice sounded like a baby 's, and the appearance also looked like a baby. However, it was a deformed baby. It maintained the size of an infant, had a big head, but was about 1.5 meters tall.

Its head and body were covered with deformed tumors and bumps. Lin Xue couldn't tell what those things were. After all, she could only see the outlines of everything. But no matter what, the sound, appearance, and movements of this monster only gave people one feeling-disgust.

The monster was separated from Xue Lin by a metal fence. Xue Lin tried to get around it, but she couldn't because as long as she stopped making a sound, the surroundings would immediately fall into a state of darkness.

Therefore, Xue Lin could only keep clapping as she moved forward. Every time she clapped, the baby monster would scream and then run wildly to search for her position. Fortunately, there was an iron fence between them, so the monster could not come over.

Clapping and shrieking sounds rose and fell, creating an interesting contrast.

After confirming that the monster couldn't come over, Lin Xue endured the mental pollution of the scream and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, Xue Lin found a female shoe on the ground. But just as she bent down to pick it up, the board on the ground suddenly caved in!

Xue Lin screamed in fear and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the distance was not too high. Xue Lin got up and looked up.

He definitely couldn't go up.

"Alright, this is the basic operation of horror games. Calm down, calm down ..."

Xue Lin consoled herself as she continued walking.

But this time, she realized that she seemed to have fallen into the nest of the baby monster ...

This time, there was no fence. The baby monster was four or five meters in front of Xue Lin, screaming and emitting red sound waves.

Xue Lin was panicking. She wanted to take the right path to avoid the monsters, but she accidentally stepped into a puddle.

"Whoosh! Hua la!"

Xue Lin's movements in the water were very loud. The baby monster immediately screamed and pounced at Xue Lin!

"Ah!" Xue Lin shrieked in fear, exposing her position. The baby monster pounced on Xue Lin and grabbed her arm!

Xue Lin screamed in fear when she felt her left hand being grabbed, but the baby pounced on her and her screen turned blood red.

After being resurrected, Xue Lin could still feel her legs shaking.

"I was scared to death ... No, this game seems to be in an endless loop. If I don't make a sound, I can't see the way, and if I make a sound, I'll attract monsters, and they'll instantly kill me ..."

Lin Xue was panicking. After dying once, she understood that this game was the same as outlast. The players had no way to fight back and could only use their intelligence to deal with the monsters.

However, how could he lure the monster away?

Xue Lin carefully fumbled forward. Suddenly, she saw a rock on the ground.
