I'm Really Good at Going Off Topic

The country's first full-dive online game has launched. Its premise is:

"■■ Has Arrived, and the World Has Become One Giant Exam Hall"

The public: ...?

Aside from the basic controls tutorial, each level comes with just one cryptic line of instructions.

Example: She would never forget the pitch-black bottom of the pot, where the fish's eye flashed with a strange light.

Please use the clue above to uncover the truth.

Players: ...??

To keep everyone from getting hooked on games, did they just turn exam questions into a game?

[It's 2027. Why am I still being traumatized by fish eyes!]

[Protest! Why couldn't it be a cat?]

[Or a chicken?]

[Or a horse?]

[Forget it. Nobody cares if there's a light in the eyes of oxen and horses.]

[I was just about to say, "I'll sit at the kids' table," but then I finished reading the second half and started crying...]

In the projection chatroom, everyone was chattering and complaining. Wei Wei An said nothing. He slowly typed: Eat more fish eyes. It'll make you smarter.

The open beta began to the eager anticipation of countless players.

Players had to follow the established rules and search for the truth while staying in character. Wei Wei An entered the game with the data stream. Beyond the transparent barrier stood a mountain villa swallowed by a roaring snowstorm.

It looked like a locked-room mystery set in a snowbound mountain lodge. The characters would probably be lost tourists, the homeowner, invited guests, and the housekeeper, before a crime took place...

Wei Wei An pulled out his character card. It had only two words on it.

Fish Eye.

Wei Wei An: "...?"

TIPS

The protagonist is the strongest.

Theme: Keep moving forward. When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way through!
