A happy family of three, with their daughter Junjun smiling brightly.
Photos of us riding roller coasters together at the amusement park, photos of my daughter receiving an award at school, a full-body photo of my daughter graduating from elementary school, photos of us eating snacks together at the mall...
Everything was old and dusty.
The camera finally focuses on a rag doll lying in the corner.
The doll said weakly:
"Oh, look at your face, are you really ready to leave?"
"Can you be sure you're in the real world after taking off your VR glasses?"
"If you put on VR glasses, can you treat your past as a dream?"
Black screen.
A line of text pops up in the bottom right corner: 【ng: outside】 (True Ending: Outside)
The true ending has been achieved, and the comments section is filled with celebratory cheers.
Some viewers were patiently explaining the facts, others were quickly sharing their thoughts, some had already bought and downloaded the game, and some had even started organizing a flood of comments on social media:
[Made by Blue Star, guaranteed to be of the highest quality]
"Blue Star has made another great game..."
Zhou Liye was filled with emotion, feeling as if he had experienced a thrilling life journey.
Perhaps that's the charm of a good game; it always brings laughter and tears... and maybe even a chill.
Zhou Liye said goodbye to the viewers in the live stream and then went offline.
I checked the time, and it was already 7 a.m.!
In order to get the true ending, he unknowingly played all night without realizing it!
Another great game where you can't see the ending and don't want to go to sleep.
Fortunately, he had taken his annual leave in advance.
Zhou Liye: Ah, Blue Star has drained my body and annual leave again quq
Zhou Liye walked heavily into the kitchen, hoping to find something to eat so she could go back and catch up on her sleep.
Unexpectedly, his father, Teacher Zhou, was also there, leisurely cooking porridge.
And not only was he cooking porridge, but his phone was also floating next to him, as if he was playing some kind of game.
Before Zhou Liye could even see the game clearly, Teacher Zhou noticed his arrival and quickly hid his phone.
"Why are you up so early today?" Teacher Zhou said with a smile. "Go sit outside. The porridge will be ready soon, along with pickled vegetables and a poached egg."
Zhou, who didn't get up early, suddenly felt his eyes well up with tears.
What a heartwarming single-parent family! This must be what fatherly love is all about!
Zhou Liye said, "Dad, don't you think it's great to raise a daughter?"
After he finished speaking, “…” appeared above his own head.
—What a nonsensical remark! No wonder Dad can't understand it.
However, to everyone's surprise, Teacher Zhou blushed.
"You saw it? Then I won't hide it anymore, sigh."
Teacher Zhou casually pulled out her phone: "Take a look, you young people are pretty fashion-savvy. Which outfit do you think is suitable for a fashion show?"
Zhou Liye: "??????"
He looked down and saw on Teacher Zhou's phone a lifelike picture of a young girl looking distressed in front of her wardrobe.
"This...this isn't..."
Isn't this "Cloud Dreams of Clothes" from the Dragon Slayer Studio?!
Ms. Zhou rummaged through her daughter's wardrobe, muttering to herself, "My daughter is so good, so very good. I should dress her in a little dress. How about this apricot-yellow one?"
Zhou Liye leaned closer to him, her mind filled with images of her daughter Junjun, and said, "How about that white floral dress? I promise, it's super cute."
The father and son were looking at the same phone, both showing incredibly kind smiles.
193. Blue Star Apocalypse 2
Within a week of its release, Inside seemed to be the talk of the world.
On the official Blue Star forum, players had already written essays of several thousand words, clearly analyzing their first and second playthroughs of the game's storyline... and they are still updating them continuously.
There was little controversy among players regarding the storylines of the first two playthroughs.
However, many people have different opinions about the true ending.
Some players commented: "What did the rag doll mean at the end? It's chilling to think about. Is this protagonist actually real?"
Some said: "[I don't think the protagonist will wake up and see his daughter in the end. Earth isn't that heartwarming. Maybe the protagonist is brain dead and in a vegetative state, and the consciousness currently active in his brain is actually the player's. Or, to be even more terrifying, maybe Junjun decides to euthanize the protagonist...]"
Some people started to speculate about conspiracy theories.
