Top game producer

The sun was shining just right outside the window, and this sleep lasted until noon.

Wang Zi crawled out of bed with dark circles under his eyes, looking ethereal. He had been drawing until 3 AM, finally finishing the drawing before the laptop's external power supply ran out, so he wouldn't have to continue drawing by plugging into the outlet in the hall.

Drawing is the favorite thing for architecture students. The joy of finishing three drawings today and having to submit three more the day after tomorrow is something ordinary people simply don't understand.

"Phew, finally I can rest a bit!"

Wang Zi ordered takeout, and after eating, he collapsed into his chair, not wanting to move at all.

He pondered whether to watch videos to relax or play some games.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Oh, Dragon Abyss has released a new game, 'Moonlit Night'!"

30 yuan, buy, buy, buy!

"Moonlit Night" was originally free-to-play with paid DLC. The initial free model was to gain popularity, allowing the game to have a certain influence among players before commercializing it.

Even the game's producer didn't expect the game to become so popular, with over ten million downloads worldwide.

Free-to-play has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is naturally the rapid growth of popularity, while the disadvantage is that players' expectations are raised, leading to criticism after the subsequent release of paid DLC, such as the DLC content not being rich enough, the price not being worth it, being a cash grab, and false advertising of being free, etc.

Wang Jian didn't need to use free methods to increase popularity, directly making the game a one-time purchase.

Wang Zi quickly finished downloading.

The game icon is a black background, with a silver moon hanging high in the sky. The shadows blocking the moon are a few tall, slender pine trees and a wizard's pointed hat circling around, full of a fairy-tale atmosphere.

Entering the game, soothing, quiet, and mysterious BGM plays, as if entering a castle with slightly faded brick walls and an ancient history.

A light, moon-like, pleasant bell sound gently rings, the music box is wound up, with a bit of a mechanical tone, tinkling and donging as it turns. This castle has been uninhabited for a long time, but a red rose with dewdrops is found in a vase on the living room table, as if there is some incredible magic, and the mysterious atmosphere is slowly growing.

From the castle window, you can see the bright moon high in the sky, and the eerie dark forest not far away.

A prompt pops up on the pitch-black screen: "Recommended to wear headphones."

Wang Zi put on his headphones, feeling a bit of anticipation: "The music is quite nice, it feels like being in a fairy-tale world!"

A cutscene appears.

"Little Red Riding Hood has been living with her grandmother since she was a child.♡♢ ♦♦"

A silver-haired girl, wearing a simple linen dress, is holding a red cloak in her hand, about to hang it on the clothes rack. Behind her is a pointed wooden house with a tall chimney. Behind the wooden house is a dark pine tree shadow.

An elderly old woman wearing a headscarf and holding a wooden staff walks towards the wooden house, her body hunched over. The little girl turns her head to look at the old woman while drying clothes, with a warm smile on her face.

The background color has only a few kinds, and the painting style is simple and bright. The most eye-catching is the little girl.

Wang Zi felt a little curious: "Is this game adapted from the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood? But in my impression, Little Red Riding Hood is a cute and soft loli. This Little Red Riding Hood has a heroic spirit."

Inside the wooden house, the fireplace surrounded by crooked iron railings is extinguished, and the rocking chair in front of the fireplace is empty, leaving only a ball of yarn and a towel being knitted. The door of the wooden house is pushed open, illuminating the room, and only a lonely shadow remains on the floor.

Although Little Red Riding Hood is not seen, it can be imagined that the moment she pushes the door in, she was originally prepared to see a warm fireplace emitting fire and a kind grandmother knitting a towel in a recliner, but there is only a room of coldness, and the expression on her face must be extremely astonished.

"But unfortunately, one day Grandma mysteriously disappeared."

On the outskirts of the forest with scattered snowflakes, a burly guard wearing a round helmet, a trench coat, and leather boots is pointing to a white headscarf on the ground with Little Red Riding Hood. That is exactly her grandmother's, and Little Red Riding Hood's back is covering her mouth with one hand, as if she has already shed tears.

"According to the investigation results of the guard team, their last clues all point to the Black Forest."

In the last picture, under the bright moon, there are many shadows of bats flying. Little Red Riding Hood put on a red cloak, put on a red hat, adjusted the scarf around her neck with one hand, and carried a package full of necessities with the other hand, her face extremely firm.

She has a sword on her waist, and it seems that she is ready to step into the dangerous jungle and fight.

"In order to find her only relative, Little Red Riding Hood went to the Dark Forest alone."

The cutscene ends and enters the start interface.

In the center of the screen is a thick, old-looking book, pressed on several sheets of rough white paper soaked in ink stains. The cover is the game's moonlit pine forest icon, and there are three sharp scratch marks on the side, which can't help but remind people of the werewolf in the fairy tale.

On one side of this book, there is also a pumpkin lamp with a candle inserted and an evil smile, a quill pen with the tip stained with ink, a glittering exquisite pocket watch, and pale blue moonlight shining through the window, covering the table with a layer of veil, creating a dark fairy tale atmosphere together with the mysterious and soothing BGM.

"Moonlit Night? Little Red Riding Hood's Diary?"

The game seems to have two different modes.

Wang Zi looked at the introduction of the two modes: "Oh, the Moonlit Night mode is the one in the previous animation, where Little Red Riding Hood is looking for her missing grandmother, which is also the main story of the game. And Little Red Riding Hood's Diary is the story of Little Red Riding Hood sneaking into the Black Forest to play before her grandmother disappeared, which is an expansion of the game."

After hesitating for a while: "I'll play Little Red Riding Hood's Diary first!"

He thought this mode seemed quite interesting.

Little Red Riding Hood indeed looks much younger than the heroic older sister in the cutscene, with a slightly fleshy face, very cute.

There are three professions to choose from: Female Knight, Little Witch, and Apothecary.

Female Knight profession: Little Red Riding Hood holds a round shield and a short sword.

Little Witch profession: Little Red Riding Hood has a magic book on her waist and holds a staff with a moon pendant hanging on it.

Apothecary profession: Little Red Riding Hood is holding a green, long-necked glass bottle in her hand, not knowing what magic potion is inside, which seems to be the most peculiar.

"Well, the Apothecary is not considered, it looks fancy and feels like it will die miserably. Warrior and Mage, warrior must be easier to get started with, so let's go with warrior! As for the difficulty..."

Wang Zi smiled: "A master like me must choose normal! It's not that I think the difficulty is high, I just want to get familiar with the game."

Choose normal difficulty and start the adventure!
