Game Story: Reality or Virtuality

2031. "Dear players, welcome to participate in the experience test of the game story. For a better experience, please be sure to read the instructions carefully and follow the instructions above." After so many years, the instructions for these games are still as old-fashioned as ever. The manual introduces the use of the device in detail. No one will seriously doubt whether this device is really as described. It is somewhat similar to the Animus, a device that appeared in science fiction movies in the Assassin's Creed game series many years ago. "Players participating in this test have been carefully screened by the system. Please consciously abide by the test agreement. Testers who are unable to participate should not try it easily. If you feel any discomfort during the test, please stop the test immediately and provide us with feedback. The resulting medical losses will be borne by us. This test is only for designated players.
