The famous supernatural survival game Loop became an instant hit as soon as it launched, thanks to its realistic environments and punishing difficulty.
For years, the strategy section of a certain site had only a handful of videos, and even those were walkthroughs for just one route.
That is, until one day, a user named "Pinglin Xinyue" appeared.
The video was split into three parts.
In Part 1, the uploader gets into a chase with a ghost, blundering into one trap after another and accumulating high-risk buffs, escaping only thanks to her exceptional survival skills.
In Part 2, the uploader explains the backstory of the scenario and clears it smoothly by uncovering the truth and dispelling the final boss's resentment.
Full of anticipation, viewers click on Part 3. Before reaching the scenario, the uploader finds a pair of pliers in the toolbox on the vehicle and gives the NPC that turns into a ghost a hard whack as it opens the door for her.
She is penalized for unsportsmanlike play, and the video ends.
Viewers: Maybe it would be pretty entertaining to watch even without clearing the level...? Uploader, this episode's been up for a whole day. You've already recorded the next one and are editing it, right? And you've started recording the one after that, right?
After being named Loop's most hardcore guide creator, Pinglin Xinyue was asked why she started making walkthrough videos.
Mo Manshou: Thanks for asking. I chose this path back then because we got to know everyone in the scenarios through fighting, and we had at least a little acquaintance's worth of affection. Also, someone said he was afraid of ghosts and came all the way to ask me for advice.
The ghosts in the scenarios: ...Thanks, but we really don't have any affection for you!!!
Her childhood friend, who actually wanted to play the scenarios together and wasn't afraid of ghosts: QAQ
Theme: Always stay calm when faced with trouble
