Top game producer

The light-tight studio was only illuminated by a dim red glow from the high-hanging red lanterns, painting the walls with a layer of pale-red rouge, creating a sinister and eerie atmosphere like a ghostly wedding.

Employees sat before their computers, the ghostly green light from the screens mixing with the pale-red glow, making them look like ghosts themselves. In this environment, dark and terrifying thoughts bubbled up in their minds, making them reluctant to speak. Communication was mostly done via computer, with only the sound of keyboards clacking filling the air.

Wang Jian surveyed the scene and nodded in satisfaction. The effect of the red lanterns seemed even better than he had anticipated.

Black Rice quietly lay on Wang Jian's desk, watching the working 'tools' with eyes that shone like small laser beams.

Suddenly, as if discovering something, it jumped off the desk, activated stealth mode, and moved stealthily towards the door.

Wang Jian noticed Black Rice the moment it jumped off the desk. He quickly bent down and grabbed it, muttering, "Marshmallow must be here."

Black Rice only acted like it was planning an ambush when Marshmallow came.

Sure enough, the door was pushed open a crack, and Marshmallow sneaked in. Seeing Black Rice pinned to the ground, its whiskers twitching with anger as it glared at him, Marshmallow froze.

Wang Jian gently flicked Black Rice's head. "Are you trying to bully her again? Remember to get along, or you won't get any more canned food."

He put on a smile and waved at Marshmallow. "Marshmallow, come here! Try some of the fancy canned food the Cat Association sent!"

At the same time, Huang Xing, having just finished reviewing a writer's submission, also stood up from her seat.

She looked around, not seeing Marshmallow anywhere. She thought to herself, "Marshmallow probably ran off to Long Yuan's side to play again. I'll go visit too!"

As she walked towards the entrance of Long Yuan's studio, she suddenly felt something was strange.

The walls of Long Yuan's studio were made of semi-transparent frosted glass, which allowed light in but obscured the view of the corridor outside.

However, today, these frosted glass panels seemed to have boards behind them, blocking any view. Why was that?

Suddenly, a person walked towards her in the corridor, presumably a Long Yuan employee.

However, their eyes were unfocused, their gaze scattered, as if lost in thought. Their gait was also strange, not alternating feet, but shuffling along the ground with both feet.

Huang Xing stole a glance, a strange feeling rising in her heart, though she couldn't explain why.

As she walked towards the entrance of Long Yuan's studio, she pondered, "That person's walking posture is so strange... it's like... a floating ghost?"

Gasp!

Huang Xing suddenly stopped, startled by her own thought.

Could Long Yuan's studio be haunted?

She chuckled dryly, reassuring herself, "How could it be?"

Still, she felt uneasy.

Standing at the entrance, which was also covered with boards, she cautiously pushed the door open a crack, her heart beating faster!

Why did it seem so dark inside? And was that a bloody glow?

She hesitated for a moment, then bravely peeked through the crack, only to see an eye staring back at her!

"Aaaaaaaaaah!!!!"

The scream broke the silence of the corridor. Wang Jian, seeing Huang Xing screaming with her eyes closed, quickly covered her mouth and pulled her inside.

He thought that one of his employees had gone to the bathroom and not closed the door properly, and was about to close it, but it seemed he had caused a misunderstanding?

If people saw this, who knows what they would think had happened!

Lowering his voice, he whispered, "Shhh, stop screaming! It's not haunted!"

Huang Xing, hearing Wang Jian's familiar voice, paused. "It's not haunted?"

Opening her eyes, she immediately saw an extremely terrifying sight.

The dimly lit studio, with a strange red lantern hanging above, emitting a bloody, hazy light, created a stark contrast between the inside and outside, as if she had inadvertently stumbled into the netherworld.

A dark shadow stood before her, surrounded by ghostly green and pale-red faces like zombies, all staring at her with "sinister and terrifying" eyes.

And in the darkness, two pairs of small light bulbs floated in the air like will-o'-the-wisps.

Had she entered a ghost den? Long Yuan's haunting was too intense!

Just as Huang Xing was about to scream again, Wang Jian quickly explained, "We're making a horror game! We're adding a bit of a horror atmosphere to the studio!"

Huang Xing's shock subsided slightly, and she looked more closely. Sure enough, the employees' faces didn't show "sinister" expressions, but rather smirks.

She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. "Oh my, you scared me!"

Then, she curiously asked in a low voice, "What kind of horror game are you making?"

...

Wang Jian was going to make a horror game!

And he was going to participate in the Qingming Horror Game Theme Competition!

When the news leaked, it immediately sparked heated discussions among players.

"Did you know Wang Jian is making a horror game?"

"Really?"

"I don't think Wang Jian is suited to make horror games! Horror games are completely different from other games!"

"Although I'm a fan of Wang Jian, I also think... it's a bit strange. It's hard to imagine a producer who just finished a game like 'Cats, Survive,' filled with cute cats and a sad, touching story, suddenly making a horror game?

The gap is too big. I don't think it's possible."

"Hey, it's true! An employee from Long Yuan posted a complaint, saying that the boss turned the studio into a ghost realm to create a more terrifying atmosphere for making a horror game, hanging a red lantern, blocking the windows, and even scaring a girl who came to visit! Here's the link to the post."

"233333, this operation is too mind-blowing! Making the work environment scary will make the game scary too? What was he thinking?"

"So, if I spray insecticide all over the work station, will the bugs in the code decrease? /doge"

"Human puzzling behavior!"

"Wang Jian is purely messing around! What does he know about horror games?"

"Wang Jian even said he wants to win the grand prize at the competition. Can you believe it?"

"Wow, I remember that Red Candle Games' 'Haunted Schoolyard' is also participating in this competition. Where does he get the courage to say he wants to win the grand prize?"

"I think Wang Jian making a horror game isn't just messing around. Have you guys played 'Undertale'? There are also many scary scenes in it. The most impressive thing to me was when Sans appeared after you left the ruins. The horror atmosphere was particularly strong. First, Toriel's instructions, then the broken branches, the approaching shadow, made your heart pound, but it was just a prank."

"Yeah, yeah, isn't Flowey scary?"

"Adding a little horror element to a game is different from making a real horror game! Red Candle Games specializes in making horror games, and this time they've been preparing for a long time, while Wang Jian is probably just doing it on a whim. What's he going to use to compete? Grand prize? Anyone can brag!"

"If Wang Jian can win the grand prize, I'll eat shit upside down! I'm putting it out there!"

"I'll remember that! I'll call you when the time comes!"

"Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. I'll definitely play it when it comes out!"
