Chapter 363: A vicious cycle of curiosity and fear
In the Thunderbolt gaming platform’s general discussion area, a few posts caught the attention of the players.
“Outlast is so fun! It’s the most fun game I’ve ever played in my life. Everyone, come and play!”
“Outlast is too F * cking terrifying! It’s simply too scary, don’t come!”
“It’s said that all the players of outlast were defeated in ten minutes. Is there anyone who’s willing to try and see how long they can last?”
“You guys might not believe it, but this game is really scary …”
Although these posts were all different, at least they successfully proved one thing: Outlast was a successful horror game, and it didn’t end up as a dissing game!
This successfully piqued the curiosity of other players about outlast.
Everyone was very curious about what kind of horror game this was. How terrifying could he be? Which aspect was terrifying? Why did everyone retreat in ten minutes?
Isn’t this too fake?
Many of the players in the imperial capital were not convinced and expressed that they would let outlast play for them! It was just a horror game. How scary could it be?
…
Very quickly, everyone started leaving comments below the post.
“Even though I feel like you’re Chen Mo’s fake reviewers, I’ll still take the bait. I’ll try the game in the experience store tomorrow.”
“Aren’t you exaggerating too much? It’s just a horror game, how scary can it be?”
“You bunch of cowardly rats, watch me show you a high-end operation!”
“Really? is it really that terrifying? I don’t believe it!”
The curiosity of many players and streamers who were pa.s.sionate about horror games was fully aroused. Everyone was very curious. What kind of horror game could make most people retreat in less than 20 minutes?
……
The next day, a new batch of white mice arrived.
“I want to play the new game, outlast!” The young people were obviously together and were very active at the front desk.
The pale-faced people in the hall who were clutching their chests gave them sympathetic looks.
Ah, ignorance is bliss.
In the past, I was just as fearless as you. Now? He had to prepare some quick-acting cardiac pills every day.
After the young men swiped their ID cards, they took the elevator to the third floor in high spirits.
“Come on, let’s play together, let’s play together. We’ll hold hands on the way to escape. Whoever leaves first is a dog!”
“Hehe, I’m someone who can walk through a haunted house upside down without a change in expression. What can a mere horror game do to me?”
“Hmph! I’ll be the first person to clear outlast today!”
……
Fifteen minutes later, the young men returned to the hall on the first floor with pale faces and hands on their chests.
“f.u.c.k! This game is too F * cking scary, I’m not playing anymore!”
“Didn’t they say that whoever backed out first was the dog?”
“Woof! No, I mean, we’ve obviously underestimated the horror of this game. I don’t want to play it anymore! Don’t ever do it a second time!”
“I’m already traumatized by the game cabin!”
“I’ve already taken a taxi! I want to go home!”
“Don’t go. Don’t you want to experience it again?”
“Experience my a.s.s! If you want to experience it, experience it yourself. Don’t drag me along if you’re courting death. Goodbye!”
Soon, more and more players were drinking milk tea in the hall on the first floor, and there was not enough s.p.a.ce on the sofa.
The strange thing was that the players who had been scared pale by outlast did not dissuade the other players from playing. Instead, they piqued their curiosity.
How scary was this game?
As wave after wave of players came down from the third floor of the VR experience area, there were even more players in the PC experience area who were eager to try out the new VR horror game.
Just like that, the players in the experience store were caught in an infinite loop of “curious, scared, more people are curious, more people are scared,”
The players who had tried outlast couldn’t wait to post in the Thunderbolt gaming platform’s general discussion area, and the content of the posts was very different.
Some said that the game was very scary, some said that it wasn’t scary at all, some said that it was very fun, and some said that it was scary …
Some people were telling the truth and sharing their real experiences, while others were lying to trick more people into playing.
Those who weren’t in the imperial capital and couldn’t come to the experience store to play outlast were all very curious about what kind of game it was.
……
……
On the 23rd of September, outlast was officially released!
Chen Mo didn’t use too many advertising methods this time, since outlast was a VR horror game. In China, games like this were extremely rare, and the hype itself was enough to create a lot of hype with the players ‘recommendation.
Many of the players who had been paying attention to the game had heard about the details of the game after the trial in the experience store. This game was very scary! In fact, most of them would be expelled in the first 20 minutes!
However, this made outlast more and more famous. Many fickle netizens even flooded the livestreaming rooms of major streamers, asking them to try out this new horror game.

Fish-catching live broadcast platform, Lin Xue’s live broadcast room.
Lin Xue, who had just finished a ranking match, was resting and communicating with her netizens.
“What? You want me to play Chen Mo’s new game, outlast?”
“Isn’t that a horror game? I don’t want to play! Don’t even think about it!”
…”If you don’t want to play, cancel the subscription and close it? Wow, are you guys that cruel? Do you really want to see a cute streamer like me play such a scary game?”
“There are actually so many people asking ‘want to see’? You … I misjudged you!”
Lin Xue wanted to ignore these people, but for some reason, these netizens became more and more enthusiastic. In the end, the entire screen was filled with comments like “please play outlast!”
Lin Xue was speechless. She had been following Chen Mo’s new game for a long time, but she immediately gave up when she heard it was a horror game.
F * ck, Chen Mo’s VR horror game can be played? It scared people to death!
As the saying went,”you can avoid the first day, but you can’t avoid the fifteenth day.” Xue Lin didn’t want to mention this at all, but the audience asking to watch outlast was getting more and more, and she could no longer ignore it.
“Sigh, alright.” Lin Xue sighed helplessly.”Let’s make this clear first. If I get into a particularly scary part of the game, I’m going to quit immediately. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to clear the game.”
Xue Lin stood up and went to open her VR gaming pod.
The viewers immediately became alert and started spamming the bullet screen.
“Wow, Xue is really going to play outlast! Well done!”
“You guys are so cruel. Xue is such a quiet and lovely girl. How can she stand such a scary game? You guys are not real fans!”
“What game is this? who has played it before?”
“I played with it for a while. All I can say is, do you really think Xue is the only one who would be frightened? Hehe, too naive. Everyone watching the live broadcast will be scared to death!”
