“Tales of Terror” was once a globally popular immersive horror game, where players traveled through otherworldly realms built from urban legends.
But a year ago, the game suddenly went out of control and became entangled with the real world. Everything was shackled by its rules, and those chosen were forced to enter the tales in person, facing almost certain death.
Jiang He has cancer. To uncover the truth behind her parents’ deaths, she enters the game without hesitation.
One-line summary: Jiang He explores each instance step by step, befriends all kinds of supernatural beings, and fights the uncanny with the uncanny. As she searches for the truth behind the arrival of the tales, she uncovers the secret behind her parents’ disappearance.
Basic Setting
1. Humans cannot fight the uncanny; only the uncanny can fight the uncanny.
2. Players can raise the favorability of supernatural NPCs by completing quests. Different favorability levels correspond to different relationship statuses: 0%–20% is “murderous intent” (the lower the score, the stronger the murderous intent); 20%–40% is “hatred”; 40%–60% is “annoyance”; 60%–80% is “normal”; 80%–100% is “friendly” (the higher the score, the better the relationship).
3. The story incorporates livestreams, which both drive the plot and provide the protagonist with key clues.
4. The protagonist is decisive and ruthless, with no romance plot.
