Episode 111
“Is this Mundae? Did you bite?”
Park Mun-dae’s home horse touched the screen while muttering unconsciously. I couldn’t help but doubt because the appearance characteristics were similar to the comeback trailer.
As the conversation progressed, the name of the character that appeared as ‘??’ was introduced.
And it wasn’t ‘Park Moondae’.
[?? : …Yes.]
[B11: I… Call me B11. That’s enough.]
And a cut-scene with a colleague added, and a black hooded boy rotating a luminous drone came in as an operable character.
‘Ah, on the other hand, did Mundae copy this character?’
She had seen a few advertisements with that concept, so she tried to skip it, but her overinvolved head started to spin and analyze the situation.
‘wait for a sec. During the high five, the back number of the baseball uniform was 11. Then, if you think that B is derived from the adult ‘Park’… !?’
The college student swallowed his saliva at the reasoning that seemed to be right.
‘Uh anyway, let’s keep playing… !’
Surprised by the unimaginable rice cake, the college student continued to play.
Besides, I really enjoyed this game.
The game begins in full first-person, with the main character falling into a sinkhole while out and moving to Seoul, a half-destroyed parallel world.
[Strange. You must have gone out early in the morning, but the sky outside the sinkhole is red and dark.] [I
think I hear someone crying and groaning up there, but I’m not sure]
[You’re terribly embarrassed, but if you stay still, the sinkhole will collapse I am also worried that I will lose. What should I do?]
-Find a way to go up.
-Wait for rescue.
-Call for help.
-Listen to the sound more closely.
The atmosphere was somewhat impoverished, but it was interesting and fun thanks to the fun of exploring and exploring a well-constructed worldview for the first time and the abundance of options.
Even though it revolves around text, it was not boring because it put eye-catching graphics or illustrations for each battle and choice. And it was full of tension because it required a combination of luck and strategy.
‘Well, let’s continue. I’m also curious about the story behind it.’
However, I haven’t given much weight to the storyline to fellow characters who are presumed to be in this school yet, or to other testa-like characters who continue to join.
So, on the contrary, I think about whether each character story will come out in the future.
‘Ah, are you going to come out with a testa’s view of the world?’
There will be people who curse at me for making me play games, but for those who decided to continue playing, it was a bit thrilling.
The game continues until the university student reaches a subway station that has been engulfed in a strange red mass, with the character moving half collapsed.
[The history is dark and only the emergency lights are blinking. It seems like a strange fishy smell is coming up. It seems that the subway is not operating, but there is an announcement that the train is entering.]
[B11: …Shall I search?]
-I agree.
-refuse.
-Give me a face mask.
– go in together
“Go with me! Let’s go together!”
The college student was completely over-immersed and enjoyed the game.
It was then.
[Sudden vibrations start to reverberate everywhere!]
[A huge red lump embedded in the underground glows ominously, and strange things start to erupt from the lump with a terrible noise… …]
The battle was forced.
And all of my comrades were killed by something terrible from the red mass.
The last thing left was the B11 that resembled Park Moondae.
[B11: …You live.]
A cut scene in which Moondae Park pushes the main character is inserted.
The screen went black with the vibration of the smartphone.
…The narration popped up again.
[…] And when you came to your senses, you realized that you were alone.]
[All that remains are the burdens and heavy lives left by your colleagues.]
[Now you have to go through this ruined Seoul < Section 127 > alone.]
And then The opening screen of the game appeared. On the dark screen, the < 127 SECTION > logo emerged based on the biohazard cover mark.
“…??”
The college student stared blankly at his smartphone, unable to accept what had just happened.
After a brief opening, a short help message appeared on the loading screen.
[※ Colleagues who died in battle will not return. Forever.]
“…?!”
The college student was horrified.
“What is this what is this?”
It was clear something was wrong.
‘What kind of game do you kill all your friends as soon as it starts!?’
It was in the middle of the < Chapter 2 > cut scene that started after the loading was finished when she finally regained her mentality.
[You admit that in the end you can’t do everything alone.]
[You need a colleague. Whether it’s a strategic ally or a temporary alliance.]
‘Yes, it can’t end like this!’
The college student recalled the complaints he had heard from nearby Gamdeok acquaintances.
‘I heard that there are many people who connect all game progress to the point of drawing a character!’
If so, she was willing to spend the money while crying while swearing, ‘Are you treating me like an ATM?
‘I only pick out the mundaeman and the mundaeman… ….’
However, after the cut scene was over, there was a warning attached to the character draw that finally popped up.
[※The character you welcomed as a companion will not appear again.]
“Hey!!”
I couldn’t figure out why these crazy people wouldn’t let me use the money when I had it.
She hurriedly turned on the internet.
‘Maybe I died because I chose the wrong option… !’
Then, this time, why don’t you look at the strategy and proceed properly! She went to social media with a bit of hope.
And I saw fans rolling through fire pits.
-Ahhhhhhhhhh
-what is this? Why does Mundae die
?
It’s strange, why do you die no matter what you choose
? The 7 companions you receive from the tutorial… Those friends who are similar to Testa in the trailer will all be annihilated at the end of Chapter 1 no matter what they do…
However, it seems that the character with the highest likability dies last… . Fuck you, are you saying this is a game
? ….”
The college student was out of his mind.
And she wasn’t the only one who was bewildered.
In Testa’s trailer video, the latest comments have already started running in Korean at a terrifying speed.
– Aigoo, guys ㅠㅠ -Now
that I know the ending of these kids… I just can’t watch the trailer the way I used to… help me…Take my money and give my kids back ㅠㅠ
-Is this why you said you won’t die in
the lyrics? Is this the big picture of Testa trying to reduce the sense of impact by subtracting from abduction? But weak virtues are already embarrassing…I mean come alive! ㅜㅜ
There were some people who tried to stop or fight, saying not to spoil the game, but most of them were swept away by the flood of comments.
Fortunately, fans soon regained their senses and began to worry about sniper comments such as ‘the nuisance Testa fans have caused to the new game’.
That’s why most of the comments were about crying or screaming.
And foreigners who don’t know the situation will ask ‘What happened?’ I was taken aback by saying things like ‘Someone tell me why’.
The funny and sad thing is that in the midst of that, there were people who continued to curse the game because it was fun.
In addition, the elements that attract them suddenly popped up.
It was the costume shop that was added midway through Chapter 2.
[Give your colleagues a new look!]
When you click on this pop-up, costumes that are currently available for special purchase appear.
And now, the costumes sold during the game launch season… It was the costumes of the comrades who disappeared mercilessly in Chapter 1.
Although dead fixed companions cannot be drawn from the character draw, they are made so that their appearance can be overlaid.
In addition, this explanatory text was attached.
[Purple Drone Boy Costume]
[ : Someone’s costume that evokes vague memories. I once protected you.]
Thanks to this, people somehow picked characters with similar stats and personality scripts and put on costumes to play one after another.
For reference, this symptom also occurred to game enthusiasts.
However, they were more calm. Because it has already happened in the previous work.
-The perseverance of the abandoned factory that even if they stick to the company,
they
ca n’t give up.
1st place in Play Store sales
└ Hahahahahahahahaha Shit, it’s annoying. Save
it
. 100% will give you the initial co-worker draw. Would
n’t it be better to do it right now when you get God Star?
└ That’s right, but it’s already sweetly drawn as a costume, so it
can’t be
└ It’s a long-term cash cow model .
Since it was time for users to immerse themselves in the world of the game more, it was the developer’s tenacity not to artificially give out companions who would break the flow of the story.
At the same time, it was also because sales were already coming out like crazy.
– All 7 people succeeded in restoring characters with similar stats and similar personalities. Now we’re together forever… (Game screenshot)
└ Oh my god
└ How much did you spend… ?
└ Whatever you imagine, I wrote more than that. But I’m satisfied.
This happened randomly.
Several Testa fans and game enthusiasts who were fully immersed in the game increased sales.
And in this process, most of the 127 section game players felt a sense of familiarity with Testa.
-I’m glad that I’m living well as an idol even in 3D
└Isn’t something strange… ? Isn’t it usually the opposite… ?
└ What do you mean, the kids died and were reincarnated in the 2nd dimension ?
└
Wow, this bastard is real. Somehow, he gave me a code name like B11. It seems that his real name came out even then.
└ There is an Easter egg if you go to Myeongdong Cathedral. It is recommended to check at least one playthrough
. └Oh ㄱㅅ
This interest lasted for quite a long time because even in later chapters of the game, small tidbits about early colleagues could be found from time to time.
And one unexpected content of Testa was suddenly announced.
[TeSTAR’s ‘BETTER ME’ Official Music Video]
The music video for BETTER ME, a sub-song of Testa’s current activity, was released.
And the beginning of this music video… It was the final scene of the game collaboration trailer.
