Chen Mo nodded,”yes, I know.” However, there aren’t many people making horror games in China. For VR games, although horror games aren’t popular, they’re the most immersive of all games, and can fill the market gap. ”

Qiao Hua adjusted his glasses and fell into deep thought.

“Director Qiao,” Chen Mo added,”this game has to be split into levels. Just like Diablo, it has to be played by adults.”

“Also, the physical condition of the player must be checked through the VR gaming pod before they enter the game. People with heart disease and similar diseases can’t play. In the game, the player’s physiological indicators must be monitored throughout the game, and if the indicators are abnormal, the line will be disconnected immediately. ”

“There are a few VR horror games overseas right now, and the related settings and security measures have been perfected. If we follow these standards, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

“Yes, I know,” Qiao Hua sighed. However, the game committee’s current attitude doesn’t encourage games that are too bloody and violent, because they have certain risks and might have a subtle psychological impact on people. ”

“Of course, we all know that the impact is minimal. Just like watching horror movies, no one will become perverted or even kill or harm people because of horror movies. From my personal point of view, I think we can try something in this area, but you have to come up with a set of excuses to convince Chairman Zhang. ”

“Oh?” Chen Zhao thought for a moment.”I have an excuse.”

“Tell me about it,” Qiao Hua said, interested.

Chen Mo briefly explained his idea.

After Qiao Hua heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment.”It seems like it’s possible. This is indeed a good reason, but it’s hard to say whether it can convince Chairman Zhang, but you can try. ”

“Wait here for a moment, I’ll go ask Chairman Zhang. I’ll call you in a while.”

Qiao Hua quickly walked out of the office to find Chairman Zhang Zhongxiang.

The situation in parallel world was different from his previous life. The audit of games was much more relaxed. Moreover, the game Committee didn’t have an absolute standard for which games could pass and which couldn ‘t. As for whether a horror game like escape could pass the review and let players play it, it was up to Chairman Zhang Zhongxiang to decide.

Qiao Hua returned about half an hour later.

“Come with me, Chairman Zhang is waiting for you. You only have 20 minutes. Think about what you want to say. If you can’t pass this time, you probably won’t have another chance in the future. ” Qiao Hua said.

“I understand, Minister Qiao.” Chen Zhao followed.

Qiao Hua led Chen Mo to the chairman Zhang Zhongxiang’s office and knocked on the door, signaling Chen Mo to go in.

In the office, Zhang Zhongxiang was reading the design document.

Seeing Chen Zhao come in, he pointed at his desk.””Sit.”

Chen Mo sat down and carefully observed Zhang Zhongxiang’s expression.

Zhang Zhongxiang frowned. It seemed like he had a lot of doubts about the concept document.

Chen Mo’s right hand touched the virtual bracelet on his left wrist, and he activated the device.

Zhang Zhongxiang coughed and said,””Chen Mo, I’ve finished your concept draft. The game was a horror game with a lot of blood and violence. According to the game committee’s usual attitude, this game could not be approved. This is because under such a high level of immersion, this game will have a certain impact on the mental health of the player. ”

“I don’t think so, Chairman Zhang,” said Chen Zhao. First of all, as an adult, your three views have already been formed, and a healthy person will be frightened when they experience horror movies, horror games, or even haunted houses. ”

“Currently, both horror movies and haunted houses exist in our country. This means that as long as the horror experience is controlled, it will not be dangerous.”

“The current horror games overseas have a very mature protective mechanism for the players. There are so many horror games overseas every year, but I’ve never heard of a player suddenly dying or being stimulated to harm society. So, the impact is actually not that serious. Or rather, this kind of influence can be completely avoided. ”

Zhang Zhongxiang frowned.”The main thing is that horror games don’t have any positive content. It’s hard to convince the traditional and conservative members of the game Committee.”

“Then, Chairman,” Chen Zhao asked.”Do you think ‘criticism’ itself is a positive content?”

“Criticize?” Zhang Zhongxiang was stunned.

Chen Mo nodded,”yes, it’s like a magazine criticizing ugly facts.”

Zhang Zhongxiang thought for a moment and said,”it should be.”

“Outlast has a mental core,” Chen Zhao continued.”Its mental core is criticism. In this game, the main character is a reporter with a sense of justice. He goes to investigate a mental hospital and expose the crimes within. ”

“And the mental hospital is actually a place where people are controlled to conduct horrible experiments. These foreign consortiums ignore the life and death of patients for their own interests, trample on the law as they please, and even have upper-class figures acting as their umbrella.”

“The player will play the role of the righteous reporter and expose the evil acts under the control of the major consortiums. This in itself is a criticism of the ugly facts and also a kind of exposure of the seemingly beautiful false scenes of foreign countries.”

Zhang Zhongxiang blinked her eyes. She suddenly felt that Chen Zhao made sense.

Indeed, if outlast’s story was set in China, it would definitely not pass the vetting process.

But what if it was placed overseas? It did seem like a form of criticism and revelation.

Zhang Zhongxiang thought for a while and said,”but this is a completely fictional story.”

“Chairman, art comes from life, but it’s higher than life,” Chen Zhao explained. In the history of the world, there had been many cases of genocide. “The prison in Auschwitz is far scarier than what the game shows. The camp has always existed to remind people to always remember that I made a game to interrogate human nature. Isn’t that a positive and positive thing?”

Zhang Zhongxiang was speechless.

He flipped open the design document for outlast and read it from start to finish.

After a long silence, Zhang Zhongxiang finally nodded.””That’s good. This game has passed the vetting process for now, but you must remember that the game’s background story must not change. It must happen overseas. Also, you have to make sure that the VR equipment is well designed to make sure that the game doesn’t have any adverse effects on the players. ”

“If the players protest strongly, this game will be taken down. If it causes a serious impact on society, you can’t be exempted from the punishment, understand?”

“Yes, Chairman,” Chen Zhao nodded.”I understand!”
