Recently, there are more and more guests in the experience shop. By the end of the week, the PC experience area on the first floor can be filled with more than 90%, and there are only a dozen empty machines left.

There are fewer people in the mobile experience area and VR experience area, but they can basically occupy half of them.

In the holographic projection viewing area, there are melon eaters who are interested in this device every day. But after all, they are tired of seeing this thing too much. They are used to it when they start to see it fresh.

The hall on the first floor of the experience store.

Today is Thursday, not too many people.

Chen Mo is sitting on the sofa, with a drink in his hand, looking through the latest batch of new books.

There are two big bookshelves on the wall of the hall on the first floor. There are a lot of books related to games. Of course, they are mainly novels, comics, game albums, etc. there are also some professional books about game design knowledge, but few people read them.

"Store manager." A twenty-eight year old office worker in a suit brushed his ID card at the front desk and greeted Chen mo.

Chen Mo nodded, "isn't today Thursday? Not at work? "

The office worker nodded, "well, it's time off."

Zhao Lei, the office worker, is also a regular customer of the experience store. Beipiao people, currently working in a financial company, pay is not cheap, work pressure is great.

Unlike other players, he doesn't come to experience the store to play games. Sometimes he just wants to sit in the hall for a while and have a chat.

Zhao Lei is a person who has no social circle and works in the circle of social intercourse, but in this experience shop, he found a long lost comfort.

Therefore, Zhao Lei often comes over on weekends, and over time, he is familiar with Chen Mo, Su Jinyu and some regular visitors of the experience store.

Zhao Lei sat down on the sofa next to him, ordered a cup of iced coffee, and took a cartoon from the bookshelf next to him.

Chen Mo looks at Zhao Lei's tired face and asks, "why, is there a lot of pressure recently?"

Zhao Lei nodded: "well, I don't know why recently. I've always met some bad people at work. There is also a lot of entertainment. I had three or four drinks last week. I have to work overtime this weekend. I can't support it today. I need to ask for leave and rest. "

Chen Mo said sympathetically, "well, it's important for your health. Take time for a physical examination. "

Zhao Lei smiled, half joking and half seriously said: "physical examination? I dare not have a physical examination, for fear of finding out any major problems, and I have no money to cure them. "

Chen Mo said, "no, it's still the body."

Zhao Lei nodded: "well, of course I know that."

"By the way, the store manager hasn't played a new game for a while. Is it because he is busy with the game platform recently?"

"There's a part of this, but in other words, it's less than two months since my world went online. How can new games be developed so fast? It's a pleasure to be suckled," Chen Mo said

Zhao Lei suddenly: "Oh, only two months? Alas, I've lost the concept of time. It seems that it's only half a year since I've been here. "

Chen Mo said with a smile, "you have too much work pressure. It's time to reduce the pressure properly. It's always in such a high pressure state, and it's easy to have problems."

Zhao Lei said, "there is no good way to reduce pressure. I don't have any friends or special hobbies. Apart from working hard to earn money to support my family, I don't seem to have anything else to do. I'll come to you once in a while and relax a little bit. "

Chen Mo thought for a moment: "actually, I have a game for you. Do you want to play it? New game. "

Zhao Lei is a little surprised: "new game? Don't you say it hasn't been developed yet? "

Chen Mo stood up and smiled: "do you know what efficiency I am? It means that the game has not been launched yet, but it can be tried. Come with me. "

Zhao Lei hurriedly stands up and follows Chen Mo to the PC game experience area of the experience store.

Let Zhao Lei casually find a computer to sit down, Chen Mo log into the management background, and download a game just developed to this computer.

Zhao Lei looked at the name: "the fable of Stanley?"

Chen Mo nodded, "yes."

Zhao Lei has some doubts: "you say this game is more suitable for me? What kind of game is it

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "just play

Zhao Lei has some doubts to click the game icon on the desktop to enter the game.

There is no cool loading chart, no large-scale CG, directly into the game screen.

The top left of the screen is the game title "Stanley's Fables", and the bottom left is the "start game", "options", "producer" and "exit". The whole screen is very simple.

However, Zhao Lei soon noticed the strangeness of the picture.

The picture shows a desk with a telephone and a computer on it. On the left is the filing cabinet. There is also a decorative picture on the wall. Like most companies, it looks like a picture that is nothing new or better than nothing.Oddly enough, the screen displayed on this computer in the game is the same as the game screen, with game title, options and even a small mouse cursor.

This kind of feeling is like picture in picture. All the operations that players do on the desktop will happen synchronously in the computer screen inside.

Zhao Lei moves the mouse to click [start game], and the computer screen in the game also makes the same operation.

This makes Zhao Lei feel a little weird, but he didn't think much about it, just thought it was some kind of bad taste of Chen Mo, just an interesting little egg.

In the process of reading the game, the screen is completely black, but there is a line of gray English: "the end is never the end is never the end..."

This is a line of infinite loop English, which extends from the left to the right of the screen. If you break it into a complete sentence, it should be "the end is never the end", which means "the end is not the end", or "the game never ends".

But this sentence overlaps the "the end" at the beginning and the end, creating such an infinite cycle.

Zhao Lei is puzzled by these clues. What kind of game is it?

With a lot of doubts, the game began.

The screen hasn't appeared yet, and Zhao Lei's headphones have already been voiceover.

Narrator is a deep male voice with clear pronunciation, moderate speaking speed and good sense of rhythm. I can't hear too much emotion from the voice, as if I'm telling a very common story.

This is the story of a man named Stanley. ]

[Stanley works for a company in a building. He is employee 427. ]

with the light and light BGM, the game picture begins to appear, and the camera goes across the company's corridor to room 427. As like as two peas in the room, a man sits on the back of the camera. His desk is the one that he saw before the game, including computer, telephone and filing cabinet.

[employee 427's job is simple: sit at the desk and press the button on the keyboard. ]

the corresponding instructions will be displayed on the screen: what button to press, how long to press, and in what order. ]

the camera switches to the monitor screen at the top, specially giving a close-up of the hand action of the character in the game.

Stanley stares at the computer screen, his right hand monotonously presses the button on the keyboard, and occasionally looks down and up, just like a machine on the assembly line.
