角色故事•一(解锁条件:角色等级20)
她玩着摇杆,日复一日。
只有一个员工的快餐店,用地下室改装的街机厅,几台陈旧的游戏机,这就是她的童年。
她没有合法的名字,没有身份编号,只有女主人给她取的昵称。
她也没有朋友,但她并不孤单。
她喜欢《波恩》:两条横线,一个光点,最简单的击球游戏,她能玩上一整天。
她喜欢《战轮32》:点阵绘成的星空中,八个迥异的色块,规则只有一条——成为第一,不论方法。
她喜欢《几何战争》,喜欢《奥德修斯》,喜欢《星际猎豹》:这些游戏的得分记录上,满是顾客们留下的天文数字。
她玩着摇杆,日复一日。
直到有一天,所有的记录上只剩下一个人的名字。
于是她放下摇杆,回头望向空空荡荡的地下室。
在这里歇息的人很多,但留下来的却很少。
从这里离开的人很多,但再回来的却很少。
她眨眨眼,关掉了屏幕。
名为「地下室」的游戏,在这一天结束了。
Character Story: Part I
• Unlocked at Character Level 20
She toyed with the joystick, day in, day out.
A fast food restaurant with only one employee, a basement turned into an arcade hall, several old arcade machines — this was her childhood.
She didn't have a legal name or an identity number, only a nickname the proprietress chose for her.
She did not have any friends, but she is not lonely.
She liked the game of Pong — two lines and a dot of light, the simplest of ball games. She could play it for a whole day.
She liked Battle Wheel 32 — eight blocks of different colors on a matrix-drawn sky. There was only one rule: Win, no matter what.
She liked Geometric Wars, Odysseus, and Star Cheetah. The score records on these games were filled with astronomical numbers left by other patrons.
She toyed with the joystick, day in, day out.
Until one day, only one name remained on all of the score records.
She set down the joystick and looked around the empty basement.
Many people have sought respite in this place, but few stayed behind.
Many have left, but few returned.
She blinked and turned off the screen.
That night, the only employee of the fast food restaurant said goodbye to proprietress, and became the next person to leave.
The game called Basement ended that night.
