On what to do on the weekend, Zarathustra said, “You can lose your style, but don’t lose your style.” We will recommend the private collection of books and video games for you, hope you like it.
Feeling that the recent days are too smooth friends, you can try this domestic independent game “Shio Shio”.
As a horizontal platform jumping game, players will control the main character, who is holding a lantern and wearing a mask, by constantly hitting the floating lantern, crossing the gears, jumping over the cliff, passing the organs, and finally reaching the destination.
With beautiful music and beautiful art style, the game atmosphere of “Shio” is quite outstanding, with dream-like scene design and plausible text (……), people will inevitably be immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves.
However, this “true hardcore depressing” game is not as simple as it seems.
For most players, the game experience of Shio is divided into three stages.
I am curious about the vague but interesting plot – “Damn this is too hard, right / how do I die again / how can I get through this level / I want to chop off this pair of hands / can not be greedy I want to stable / archive point where it is where I dare not move.”
…… This is all thanks to the dazzling organ traps and let people myocardial infarction level design.
Who am I? Where am I? What’s going on here?
A friendly reminder: at a later stage, it is quite normal to die a hundred times from time to time (after all, I also. Please don’t deny yourself and don’t question the meaning of life.
Of course, “Shio” depressing is not only reflected in the hardcore level of difficulty of the game, in the complex levels, the player will from time to time with the NPC to start a dialogue, pick up the items and clues carrying memories, and gradually unveil the veil floating on the vague plot.
Behind this veil, at the end of the game in the true and false ending, hidden is a rather sad and hidden story.
This is a SF (Science Fiction) work that would be a god without the harem element.
It has: at first glance may not be accustomed to, but and the universe scene perfectly match the 3D painting; simple and powerful sub-screen design, no superfluous sensationalism and water injection; relatively rigorous world setting, the simulation of war damage and immigration ship real operating environment are very realistic; excellent characterization, character types are not limited to the simple attribute arrangement of selling meat and cute, the deepening of the bond between characters is logical, no unexplained love and hate.
The most important thing is that the story is interesting on top of that. The downside is that the hardware is excellent, but the intention is slightly inferior to other classic SF works. In addition, the portrayal of male characters is very stereotypical, far less vivid than the female characters. There are very few male characters with rich plots, and essentially the typical machine warfare configuration of a man and a woman. The narrative line of female characters also basically revolves around the male protagonist, lacking their own motivation. However, despite these and other limitations, it is very good for an SF-type work (or a relatively rare hard science fiction).
Thousands of years ago, an alien creature called “Kijuko” invaded the solar system, and the people of Earth were forced to exile from the universe to find a new settlement.
During this thousand years, there were several wars between humans and Chicoms, and many dark secrets and sacrifices were hidden inside the immigrant ships.
Generations of pilots have been trained to fight this unknown creature, but have been unable to wipe it out completely. In the timeline where the main story unfolds, it has been nearly a hundred years since the Chikyuuzi attacked, and a brief period of peace has come to the people. On the other hand, the immigrant ships are actually bottlenecked as their resources are constantly being depleted, and most people’s cosmic suits are patched after using multiple recycling.
Against this backdrop, the young man who lived underground in the immigrant ship and was in hiding for some reason – Tanikaze Nagamichi – suddenly appeared.
Then, not long after Tanikaze was granted by the captain to become the pilot, the gears of fate began to turn again, and humans once again encountered the Kijuko, and this time would also face a collection of Kijuko – the Great Hopper ship. To be honest, the same theme of conflict (and fusion of understanding) between alien creatures and humans, but the strength of the Hikikomori, is the extremely restrained and precise sub-narrative.
This greatly compensates for the lack of Hee Rider’s core, not only adding to the industrial style atmosphere of the original, but also directly making the grand and impermanent theme of the universe accentuate the sense of struggle of the characters.
Plus in the Japanese manga is extremely rare “resource constraints”, “neutral”, “photosynthesis” set, making the whole work very very honge SF, very hard, is this years It is difficult to see the good work.
