"Heh, the protagonist controlled by the player died in the end. How could that possibly count as a perfect clear?" Lucien laughed. "The endings that players have achieved so far are all just normal endings."
Jenny's eyes widened instantly. "Are you saying this game has another ending where the protagonist survives?"
Lucien nodded. "Of course."
"This..." Jenny paused for a moment before continuing, "Wait a second. In this game, the male protagonist killed his wife and daughter because of his paranoia. He's a complete villain."
"Even in a game, letting someone like him survive feels like it would ruin the morals of the story."
"If you really let players unlock an ending where the male protagonist lives, you'll probably get heavily flamed by the players. I've heard some players can get really crazy and even doxx us or shoot gun near our house."
Jenny had watched the clear video, so she was very familiar with the game's plot.
For a person as evil as the male protagonist, being hanged should be considered a good ending.
However, Lucien looked at Jenny with a smile full of meaning. "Those players don't even know where I live. How would they even shoot gun near us?"
"Also, who told you that the male protagonist is a bad guy?"
Jenny was stunned. "Isn't he?"
Lucien smiled but didn't answer.
Seeing Lucien acting all mysterious, Jenny was dumbfounded. Could it be that this game actually has a twist?!
"In any case, let's leave it at that for now." Lucien smiled. "My new game is almost finished too. I'm just waiting to see who will be the first player to unlock the perfect ending. I'm really looking forward to it."
Lucien didn't want to take any action for the time being.
But the players were not willing to wait.
Shortly after Benjamin's walkthrough video was released, people could no longer hold back and left comments under the video one after another:
"Hurry up, hurry up! Someone has already cleared Silent Hill now. New World Studio, do something already!"
"That's right, new game! We want the new game!"
Leaving comments under the video wasn't enough for them. Quite a few netizens even privately messaged Benjamin.
"Ben, has New World Studio contacted you yet?"
Benjamin replied quickly: "Not yet."
Actually, Benjamin was quite puzzled as well. He had been waiting for New World Studio to contact him.
After all, he was very confident that his clear video was the first one posted on the entire internet.
He should at least be within the top fifty players who cleared the game.
But why was there still no movement from New World Studio at all?
After failing to get any response by spamming the comments section, the players thought of another good place to urge for updates!
That was Jenny's X (twitter)!
Although they couldn't find New World Studio's contact information, they could go to Jenny Sinclair!
"Jenny, can you please contact New World Studio? Make them fulfill their promise!"
"That's right! Players have already cleared the game. Tell that fucking developer to do something!!"
"We're here again to demand updates!"
Before long, the number of comments on Jenny's X had exceeded ten thousand.
Looking across the page, it was filled with the players' overwhelming resentment!
As for the foreign players, since they didn't have X, they went straight to the Steam platform and spammed the comment section of Silent Hill, frantically demanding updates.
Some extreme fans even started leaving negative reviews again.
"Hey, Lucien, the players' demands for updates have all been directed at me now!"
Jenny shouted while holding her phone. "Oh my god, I've never seen my X comments reach over ten thousand before!"
"Players' enthusiasm is understandable." Lucien took a sip of coffee to perk himself up, then said calmly.
"Just reply on X exactly as I told you before."
"Alright," Jenny replied. "I feel like I'm turning into a big star now. My X comments have actually reached this many."
Jenny smiled. "This is nothing yet. Oh right, one more thing, Sis. You should open a Weibo (Chinese socmed) account sometime too."
"Why open a Weibo account?"
"Naturally it's for the overseas market. I need a spokesperson there as well. Otherwise those Chinese guys have no way to contact me and keep leaving negative reviews under my game. It's really annoying."
"Alright then, heh. Looks like I'm slowly becoming an international superstar." Jenny shouted excitedly and immediately picked up her phone to start typing away.
Before long, Jenny posted a X update.
"New World Studio has received all the update demands from our dear players."
"However, it's not that the fucking developer doesn't want to fulfill his promise. It's simply because no one has managed to meet the conditions he set yet."
"Remember? The producer specifically said it has to be a perfect clear. The ending where the male protagonist dies does not count as perfect!"
As soon as this was posted, the players were all stunned.
"N'gga, what do you mean Perfect clear?"
"Does that mean the game has another ending?"
"And the male protagonist has to survive?"
"Ah, this guy is such a scumbag, yet he can still live? What is the devs thinking?"
"You look pretty today jenn, please send me some of your feet pics."
"Want to see me naked? Check out my Onlyfans account in my bio."
↳ "No one want to see your ugly ahh."
↳ "Go get a fucking real job."
