角色故事•一(解鎖條件:角色等級20)
她玩著搖杆,日復一日。
只有一個員工的快餐店,用地下室改裝的街機廳,幾台陳舊的遊戲機,這就是她的童年。
她沒有合法的名字,沒有身份編號,只有女主人給她取的暱稱。
她也沒有朋友,但她並不孤單。
她喜歡《波恩》:兩條橫線,一個光點,最簡單的擊球遊戲,她能玩上一整天。
她喜歡《戰輪32》:點陣繪成的星空中,八個迥異的色塊,規則只有一條——成為第一,不論方法。
她喜歡《幾何戰爭》,喜歡《奧德修斯》,喜歡《星際獵豹》:這些遊戲的得分記錄上,滿是顧客們留下的天文數字。
她玩著搖杆,日復一日。
直到有一天,所有的記錄上只剩下一個人的名字。
於是她放下搖杆,回頭望向空空蕩蕩的地下室。
在這裡歇息的人很多,但留下來的卻很少。
從這裡離開的人很多,但再回來的卻很少。
她眨眨眼,關掉了屏幕。
名為「地下室」的遊戲,在這一天結束了。
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.
