The bonfire blazes brightly.

The wooden house is warm.

The bonfire blazes brightly.

The stranger is shivering from the cold and rambling incoherently.

There wasn't enough wood, so Tian Dou went to the Silent Forest to gather some more.

The wooden house is very warm.

The stranger huddled in the corner, no longer shivering, and their breathing has calmed down.

"Who is this stranger? Can they tell me about my current situation?"

Tian Dou patiently burns the wood, and the temperature in the wooden house gradually rises.

The stranger sits around the bonfire, saying she can help build structures or make tools.

"Wow, it's a girl."

Tian Dou quickly refreshed the stranger's image in her mind. Building structures and making tools? She couldn't help but think of dwarves. A girl? With these two impressions combined, she couldn't help but imagine a loli with a neat ponytail, wearing denim overalls, a large wrench hanging from her waist, sitting by the bonfire with the protagonist, yawning, and warming her hands at a distance from the scorching flames.

"This damn weather! I didn't expect it to be so cold today!" the loli complained. "I almost froze to death in this wilderness like a poor stray dog! Thank you for saving me!"

She exclaimed sincerely, "There's nothing more pleasant than sitting around a warm bonfire on a cold day!"

"Who are you?"

"A wanderer who prefers to remain anonymous. Oh, by the way, can I live here? Seeing that this place is empty, I can help you build structures and make tools."

"Sure, welcome to join us."

The worker says she can make traps to catch live prey.

The worker says she can make baskets to collect wood.

Tian Dou noticed that the stranger's title had automatically changed to 'Worker,' and new tasks had appeared below the 'Light Fire' button.

Craft/Build:

Trap

Basket

Tian Dou understood somewhat: "It seems to be a management game, but this kind of newbie guidance is quite interesting."

Starting from a cold, dark room, lighting a fire, then collecting wood, an incoherent stranger, the stranger regaining consciousness, the changing text in the text box for each action allows people to imagine the scene, which is very narrative, and the gradually emerging new functions make people unconsciously immersed in it, with a strong sense of immersion.

Tian Dou analyzed: "Traps should be able to catch prey and collect food, while baskets are estimated to make collecting wood more efficient, allowing you to carry more wood back at once."

I don't know what the traps are for, maybe the collected items will be useful later, but making a basket first is definitely no problem, after all, wood is a basic material, and fire, traps, and baskets all consume wood.

Tian Dou went to the Silent Forest and collected wood once, suddenly discovering that the amount of wood in the storage room had jumped.

"Huh? I didn't do anything just now, did I?"

She moved the mouse over the wood, puzzled, and saw the words "Worker +2 wood/10 seconds."

So that's how it is! The worker is automatically helping to collect wood!

Made a basket and a trap.

Traps may bring broken teeth.

Traps may bring damaged pelts.

In the storage room, 'teeth' and 'pelts' have been added as collectible items.

Before long, a prompt box popped up.

Damaged Trap:

Some traps have been severely damaged,

Huge footprints lead into the forest.

[Track Footprints] [Ignore]

Tian Dou hesitated in her heart: "Could it be some dangerous creature? Forget it, I'd better not chase after it."

Although nothing happened, this sudden event reminded her that this place doesn't seem to be absolutely safe.

Tian Dou couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis: "If only I could make weapons and armor to protect myself!"

After a while, another event appeared.

A nomadic trade caravan came into view, carrying many rough linen sacks filled with goods.

They didn't say where they came from, and obviously wouldn't stay here forever.

"There's even a trade caravan?"

Tian Dou couldn't help but imagine a team of dusty, wind-blown peddlers in heavy coats, with a dozen horses laden with goods, stopping here for a rest, spreading their goods on the ground, including dried cured meat, simply tanned pelts, and some delicate gadgets like compasses.

"Too bad, I can't afford any of it!" Tian Dou regretted a little, and added another goal, which is to make more traps and collect the materials needed for trading.

New content keeps appearing. After playing for only a few minutes, Tian Dou was deeply attracted by 'Little Dark House' and immersed in this world shaped purely by words.

……

After the release of 'Little Dark House,' players quickly noticed the game, and the comments on the game platform gradually increased.

"Oh, Longyuan has released a new game?"

"Wow, it's only 1 dollar, is it that cheap!"

"The description says it seems to be a pure text game!"

"No wonder it's so cheap! But can pure text be fun?"

"Although not at the same time, but on the same game platform, today I will try out the game 'Little Dark House' to clear the mines for everyone. Let's go, brothers!"

"How is it, bro? Is it fun?"

"Cough cough cough... I was too excited and choked just now. In two words, very interesting!"

"Your math may have been taught by the PE teacher!"

"This game really has no graphics at all, it relies purely on imagination, imagining various scenes based on the descriptions in the text!"

"A situation description information bar, a few clickable buttons, but it gives endless space for imagination."

"The graphics are imagined, the music is played by yourself, and the plot is guessed randomly, 2333333."

"I am a person who has high requirements for game graphics. I can't even play pixel games with good reviews like 'To the Moon,' but this 'Little Dark House' has no graphics at all, and I can still play it with relish. I feel quite incredible myself!"

"Pure text can also be so interesting, fun, and fascinating. This game really subverted my impression!"

"Maybe this is the charm of words!"

"Don't look at the simple graphics, wrong, don't look at the lack of graphics, but the playability is really high! At first, it's a management game, and later you can adventure on the map, engage in real-time combat, and even fly a saucer into outer space! Recommended to buy one, anyway, 1 dollar is not expensive at all!"

"Wow! Is it that magical?"

"You're wrong, isn't there no graphics? How can you adventure on the map?"

"It's represented by various punctuation marks and letters! The @ symbol is the protagonist, # is the road, P is the outpost, ;;; represents dense grass or trees, and the periods flying out during combat are the bullets fired, etc. It's especially interesting!"

"There's even this kind of operation? Too awesome!"
