"That's the second question. Does Silent Hill PT, as a test version, have an ending?" Jenny asked again.
This was a question many netizens were quite concerned about. After all, it was only a test version, which meant the game wasn't even finished yet, and the ending might not have been created at all.
"Regarding the ending, I can clearly tell everyone: yes!" However, Lucien gave an affirmative answer this time.
"It's just a shame that, so far, although the game's download count has already reached tens of millions, not a single player worldwide has cleared the game. So, no player has seen the ending yet."
"Holy crap, the download count is already in the tens of millions?! That's crazy!"
"HAHAHA, tens of millions of players and not a single one has cleared it?!"
"Who told you to design such a terrifying game, you fucking developer!!"
"It's not our fault. It's all on you!"
"A game this scary, the ones who can clear it are probably autistic!"
The netizens were first shocked by the download numbers, then started complaining again.
Seeing the netizens' frantic complaints about how terrifying Silent Hill was, Lucien suddenly felt he should add some encouragement measures.
So he spoke up again.
"How about this? I'll announce right here that I will select the first fifty players to perfectly clear Silent Hill PT and grant them early access to play our next new game!"
The moment these words came out, the livestream room exploded.
"Holy shit? A new game is coming out already?!"
"So soon? You're not continuing with Silent Hill PT?"
"What genre is the new game? Please don't make it horror again!"
"Yeah, please make something warm and healing!"
"Cough cough, devs, can you develop some eroge?"
The netizens instantly threw out a bunch of questions, and Lucien patiently answered them one by one.
"Because the response to Silent Hill has been a bit too much. It's too terrifying and has dampened some players' enthusiasm. So our team has decided to put this project on hold for now."
"As for the new game, we've actually reached the final stages. As long as you become one of the first fifty players to perfectly clear Silent Hill, I can send you the new game right now so you can start playing immediately."
"The new game isn't horror at all. It's quite warm and healing, and it's an open world. I'm sure y'all like it."
Thinking about the content of the Subnautica he was about to make, Lucien couldn't help letting out a sly laugh as he said this.
"As for eroge…" Lucien suddenly changed the subject: "Hehe, our team has actually already made one. We're just keeping it for ourselves to play!"
"Holy shit, you shameless old thief!"
"Is that even something a person would say?!"
"You beast, please release the eroge first!"
"I'm begging on my knees for the eroge. I'll buy it no matter the price!!"
"Release it!"
"Release it! (2)"
The livestream room was filled with wails of despair. After all, most gamers were men, and what man didn't enjoy that kind of thing!
With Silent Hill PT's graphics, using them to make eroge… holy crap, just thinking about it was exciting!
"Alright, that's all for today's connection!" Lucien felt the time was about right. He still needed to maintain his mysterious image. Revealing too much wouldn't be good.
"In short, everyone, work hard! Want to play my new game early? Then work hard to clear Silent Hill! Come on, brave players!!!"
After boldly delivering this speech, Lucien decisively leave the discord call.
"That fucking develeper left just like that?!"
"He only answered a few questions and then ran off?!"
"And that speech… it has the same vibe as One Piece's Roger telling everyone to go find the One Piece!"
"Damn, he got me so excited. No more talking, I'm opening Silent Hill right now and pushing through!"
Lucien's connection had been very short, only about ten minutes or so, but those ten minutes had once again ignited the enthusiasm of countless players.
For the sake of the mysterious new game, countless players once again launched their challenges against Silent Hill!
Benjamin was an ordinary youtuber on Youtube. He had been an uploader for two or three years, but his fan count had remained stuck at only a few tens of thousands.
He had already started thinking about giving up on being an youtuber, but the sudden appearance of Silent Hill had lit up his eyes!
He felt his chance had finally come!
Because his personality was naturally different from normal people!
He loved excitement!
When experiencing terrifying or painful things, Benjamin would feel fear and terror, but deep inside he felt far more exhilaration and joy!
Back in school, in order to confess to a female classmate, he had used a small knife to carve her name bloody onto the back of his hand!
The girl had been scared out of her mind and reported him to the homeroom teacher.
Although he didn't want to admit it, there was no doubt he was the legendary masochist.
So the moment the game hailed as the most terrifying in history, Silent Hill, went live, Benjamin had jumped in to play it immediately.
Then he discovered that this game was simply perfect for him!
Trembling with excitement, that was exactly the feeling he loved most!
