Domestic horror has a natural barrier that limits the level of horror works - "We cannot become a monster after the founding of the country! materialism does not allow ghosts, we must use science to explain everything!" This restricts a basic horror creation method, that is, human horror for unknown things.
" Dead Silent ", "Bixian", and "Curse" These famous works are all real ghosts, so domestic horror inevitably enters a vicious circle, using illusions and dreams to explain all this. This game is not spared, so you will even see VR explaining it all.
Although the author stubbornly gave an open finale, and the bad ending cannot be explained by dreams and VR, as long as the plot is scientifically explained, it will naturally reduce the concentration of horror. Although it will rationalize the plot, it will be considered a bit positive.
Let’s talk about other common ways to create horror atmospheres. The atmosphere of East Asian horror movies has always been highly praised. I think the most important thing is differentiation, alienation and familiarity with things. The most common things in suddenly become unfamiliar, which is the most common way to create a fear atmosphere.
Imagine the little girl who was very cute in the last second, you teased her behind her, and she was answering you with a smile. Suddenly she stopped talking, and you couldn't see her face, you could only see her hair, and see her cutting the back of a doll with a knife, which was a very terrifying atmosphere.
If there are too many horror elements, this horror effect will be reduced. The horror shots of this game are relatively dense with Jump Scare, which is also a key reason for the decrease in fear effect. The first time something strange is terrible, but when it appears too many, everyone gets used to it, even if the scene is very creepy.
In addition, when shaping the atmosphere, a sudden option appears will break out of the drama, interrupting the effect of shaping the atmosphere. It is like the exciting part of the plot is coming, and suddenly it is the trailer and advertising time of the next episode, destroying the immersive atmosphere that has finally been created.
And the things like a child in red are so familiar to horror movie enthusiasts. To be honest, fear is not effective.
How to use this familiar thing to convey a sense of horror? It requires familiarity with the daily life as the foundation, familiarity with the daily development, and then giving unfamiliar and unexpected scenes, which will make you afraid.
The plot of this work is really developing too fast, it is really impossible to guess. Without daily life, the familiar horror elements are trying hard to scare me one after another, making me numb. Moreover, the story of this work itself is very short. Although reincarnation has brought some familiarity, the overall immersion still needs to be improved.
story is essentially a story that is not scary. From beginning to end, I am more inconspicuous and do not know what is going on, rather than being scared. Of course, there are also some things that are good at this game, such as sound. The sound itself is invisible and intangible, unknown, and unfamiliar, making people easily associate.
The song " Little Star " that is different from the usual appearance is just right, and it still has a good effect when it appears in front of you with an abandoned clinic.
What the horror most requires is the creation of immersion. Familiar folk stories, horror fairy tales, common dark nights, and story background introductions are to let you quickly enter the plot. If you come up, you can't touch your head. Although it also has a fear effect, the expression is unsatisfactory.
The male protagonist of this work came to a strange place to find his wife, but he couldn't remember his wife clearly after losing his memory. Is this strange feeling more inconsistency more difficult to touch or terrify, or you should understand it yourself. In addition, talking to yourself who is not so strange, the appearance of this kind of shot has greatly reduced the sense of fear.
In the plot, the male protagonist has had several conversations with him, including looking in the mirror, which can be regarded as part of his conversation with him. But unfortunately, the person who was talking to me was still too normal, and I even felt calm.If he had blood on his face and his tone was intermittent, and he would have been even more terrifying if his hands were gesturing.
There is a player who has played this game that told me this way. It is obviously a very ordinary story. The author insists on doing it in the direction of scary ghosts, but it doesn’t feel very successful.
Finally, let’s talk about other features of this work.
In order to avoid passing the tomato sauce lens, a large number of sketches were used instead of live-action appearance. The fact that one can fast forward with one click after reincarnation and see all key options is very good, which can save a lot of time.
This work is a newcomer's debut. It is difficult to do fear work in China, so it is very courageous to challenge it. Moreover, the story of this work is still complete, which is worthy of praise in the fear work.
In addition, the price of this work is very affordable. As a newcomer, you might as well support it. I hope you can watch more terrifying works next time.
