Game planner Li Guangqi lands in a parallel world and discovers that its gaming industry is appallingly backward: major studios dominate, gameplay is stuck in a rut, and players are treated like crops to be harvested.
Fortunately, a [Game Database from Earth] appears in his mind. From Dread Hunger to Minecraft, from Titanfall to Apex Legends, it contains all of Earth’s legendary games, but he has to unlock them one by one using “emotional resonance points.”
Starting from scratch, Li Guangqi recruits a gaming addict with unbelievably fast reflexes from an internet café, finds an artist online who’s been rejected so many times he’s started questioning his life, and talks a genius programmer into joining them. The four of them establish the “Sleepwalking Disorder Studio” in a rented apartment.
Their first game, Dread Hunger, launches. A clip of friends betraying each other goes viral, and the whole internet erupts: “This game is digging into the evil of human nature!”
Despite the backlash, the game becomes an overnight sensation.
Then come Minecraft, Titanfall, Apex Legends... Every game redefines its genre.
The industry giants go from sneering to panicking: “Where does this kid keep getting all these god-tier ideas?”
Li Guangqi smiles faintly. “This is nothing. The next one will be even more brutal.”
(Game details may differ slightly.)
I just want to say it's so beautiful.
