2022 is a year that is hard to describe in words. During this year, many excellent works were born, especially in film and television. In September, I watched a domestic horror masterpiece. Friends who often follow the film and television industry may have already thought of which one it is. Yes, that's right, it's "Fengtian White Shop".
In conjunction with the Ghost Festival during the Republic of China, the theater encountered the ghost king's evil drama again. From the moment the trailer of "Fengtian White Shop" was released, it has deeply captured the editor's heart eager to watch. After savoring it, this movie It is rich in folk culture and has ups and downs of the story. The gripping horror work left the editor feeling unsatisfied. But today we are not going to talk about the film and television version of "Fengtian Baishipu", because this excellent work actually has a single-player game of the same name, and the official version is currently available on Steam.
Consistent with the world view of the movie "Fengtian White Shop", the game also tells the story of the Taiping County Police Department longevity banquet massacre during the Republic of China. The difference is that in addition to the protagonist Xu Sijiu, an original character secretary-general is added to the game. , and the player's perspective will also unfold from the perspective of these two people. The dual-perspective game will increase the gameplay instantly!
You must know that "Fengtian Baishi Shop" is a work that deeply explores local themes and tells the story of the feudal superstition system and the traditional Baishi culture. This is rare in film and television, and the game also interprets this content very well and derives it. Expansion will carry it forward. If in movies and TV shows, we just follow the protagonist Xu Sijiu and others to see the story from the perspective of others, then in the game, we directly play Xu Sijiu and the secretary-general, and experience the story through our own exploration. The process of taking place has a great sense of immersion and presence!
Friends who have watched the movie don't have to worry about repeated content in the game "Fengtian Baishipu". Although they all have the same story line, there are quite a few things in the game that the movie can't express. As a 2D horizontal version of AVG , the game scene is not huge, but it is full of details for players to explore. Whether it is the shaping of the environmental atmosphere by the streets and alleys, or the interlocking and detailed dialogue literature at the plot level, players can experience the local experience. The culture has detailed content about the Hungry Ghost Festival and white events.
How detailed? You may not be able to imagine how exciting it is to directly participate in the process of doing white things in the game! There is a story in the early stage of the game where the player takes on the role of the protagonist Xu Sijiu to do an intercourse for a dead person. Considering that some players may not have a deep understanding of the intercourse process, the production team even added extremely detailed answers to the intercourse process and included it in the process. The important parts are recorded for players’ reference, which is really thoughtful.
Not only in terms of trivia, there are many mini-game decryption stages in "Fengtian Baishi Shop". For the story editor, this level of difficulty is just right, and there will be no lags that will affect the plot experience, and the design of the game is consistent with the plot experience. The plot progresses in an interlocking manner, without adding various mini-games to solve puzzles.
With dual-perspective story telling, multiple lines combined, and mini-games interspersed with the investigation, "Fengtian Baishi Shop" performs very well in terms of gameplay, and the production team also has amazing accomplishments in shaping game culture; in addition to the above As for the process of doing white things, the game also has elements from the underworld such as paper figures, coffins, female ghosts, and wreaths. In some plot sections, players will also witness extremely horrifying content such as pig cages and living dead. Together with the weird music and the right sound effects for the scene, you will be in a tense atmosphere throughout the game.
The story is a combination of movie clips, as well as the superb performances of several veteran actors such as Zhang Zijian, Wang Kuirong and Liu Zhiyang. It is simply impeccable. The game also has very rich content, especially the investigation link in the final chapter, which incorporates suspense reasoning gameplay. It can be described as a bold attempt in a puzzle game. At the same time, not only the murderer may be different in each ending, but also the murderer may be different. The story lines are also different. Only by playing all the endings can a complete story be sorted out. In terms of storytelling in domestic plot decryption games, "Fengtian Baishipu" has opened up a new way of thinking. If you happen to be interested in games of this type and theme, then the editor highly recommends trying it.
