More than half a year after the release of "Soul Chip", another Chinese horror game was born, and its gameplay surprised players. Its production level is even T1 level among horror games around the world. He is also very good at creating a sense of seclusion, compressing a lot of time and space in the same old building. Each room has very full and meticulous details, making people feel like they are in the real world. Unfortunately, due to serious problems with the production team, this work is no longer suitable for mention. Fortunately, however, the road to Chinese horror games does not end there.
"Paperman", a work launched in 2019, is a relatively traditional narrative horror game. All players have to do is solve various puzzles and find the truth of the matter. Probably due to the scale of production compared to Soul Chip. The basic quality of this work is obviously much higher, and it depicts an old Chinese-style house with care and integrity. The delicacy and richness of details of the scene are much higher, which greatly enhances the sense of immersion.
The best part of this book is the detail. Almost everything in the game is very real-world, from the layout of the rooms to the books scattered on the floor. The production team intends to make it visible to players but not invisible. Especially the mottled feeling of the old house after years of polishing, the peeling of the corner walls, and the peeling of the paint on the wooden furniture. Countless details are combined together, and the more you understand, the more immersive you become, as if you are really immersed in the scene.
Similarly, there is the touch puzzle game "Paper Wedding Dress" launched in early 2021. It can stand out among horror games on the mobile terminal, partly because of its high-quality restoration of realistic elements. There are a large number of funeral and rural-related elements in the game. The production team is obviously very familiar with these elements, and there is even reason to suspect that the artist is studying them with a piece of paper money. The entire game is not large in size, but the production level of the scenes is very high. The texture of various things not only has the style of the game itself, but also highly restores its realistic characteristics. When you come to the village in the game, you will feel that the village may really exist in reality.
However, the shortcomings of the two games "Paper Man" and "Paper Wedding Dress" are actually quite obvious. That is, although their puzzle design can deeply integrate Chinese horror elements, the puzzle logic is a bit far-fetched, and these puzzles Many of them cannot serve the plot, and there are also some settings that deliberately slow down the player's progress, which will make the game experience even worse. And there is a game that achieves a high degree of unity in gameplay, details, and narrative.
