“hololive ERROR” is a success in terms of planning, but a shame in terms of games | 4 Gamers

As a half-worm writer, I always have only one attitude towards reasoning games: if you dare to play, I dare to play, and the best thing is to be smelly, long and do all kinds of tricks (what however unreliable reincarnation script observer, you can come ), so when the long-heard “holive ERROR” the full version was finally released on Steam, the author of course jumped out of this huge oil pit without hesitation.

However, three hours later, the author still has to climb up and tell you that this work is a success in terms of planning, but a shame in terms of games.

“hololive ERROR” is a comprehensive project led by Cover that starts in August 2021. It is a drama-based project with a horror-centric theme. Hoolilive members will play the role of students of “Qingshang High School” “Past”, “Present”, “Train” and “Truth” acting a series of horror stories.

The story of “hololive ERROR” takes place in a fictional town “Aokami-cho” Due to various mysterious disappearances and strange stories that have been passed down since ancient times, the locals think it is a cursed land, and slowly it has become a ghost town. .

And the player, as a reporter for a ghost magazine, was influenced by his grandfather who was born in “Aoami Town”, and he planned to go to “Aoami Town” to investigate the authenticity of these strange stories.

Unexpectedly, in the waiting business hotel, the toilet door will open by itself, and there will be an unknown knock on the door… When the player looks into the peephole to find out, discovers that outside the door has completely changed: What appeared there was “Aokami High School” in “Aokami Town”, which was destroyed by a landslide accident decades ago.

In this dark and “probably” deserted school, players will see various black figures from time to time, female students wandering in the corridor, and they will also hear “the undead of the female students painting that will commit suicide, which will turn human blood into ink and material”, and at the end of the expedition, a clock rolls down the stairs – 10:10, which is exactly when you will read in the sources that “Qingshang High School” was flooded by landslides.

Then, the player will see the landslide hit the school with his own eyes, and will also witness the legendary “Dead Soul of a Suicide Drawing Schoolgirl”. And when the schoolgirl jumps on you –

Players will find themselves waking up in a hotel with a splitting headache.

Do you think this is what a supernatural experience is like? Strange.

The toilet in the hotel has been turned into a desk and chair, with pictures of flowers on the other side and the students at that time on it—

Also, the outside of the hotel has become an even older “Qingshang High School”.

The main thing that players need to do in “hololive ERROR” is to find clues about the truth between the constant change of past and present, virtual and real scenes, and players will continue to come on across different strange phenomena, as well as the role played by the integral member. Of the characters, the most important of them is the core of the story, “Misora ​​Shino” (played by Shi Naikong).

The game will require players to constantly look for clues back and forth in a given space (and constantly use obstacles to force players to look behind), and will use a lot of audio-related content to create an atmosphere.

But there are several major problems with this work, one of which is that “the content of the horror reasoning game alone is really insufficient”.

The overall process of the game tends to be set in one way. Although it claims to have multiple endings, the differences in the endings are determined by whether the player has found a specific clue and whether he has entered a specific room. t notice these contents, but when running the second round, as long as you are careful enough, you can find them, and there is not much content that players can interact with.

In addition, the general game time for one round is two hours at most. The system does not allow players to run. The horror is the horror. When I ran for the second time, I was already scared. It is not is acceptable to come out to shrink the goods.

Another problem is that there aren’t enough storylines “in the game”.

Players can understand some clips of the events before “Aoage Town” and “Ao Shang High School” from the notes that appear in different places or the voice content in the drama, but they are all just words, a bit like filling in the blanks for players to go. Guess, but there is no full story to reason about.

In fact, players have to go to the Hololive ERROR website to watch various small theaters and personal presentations in order to get a complete context. The website is also very considerate to help you add various special effects to’ the characters in question, such as saying “”Furukawa Seven Stars” (played by Comet Star Street) and “Red Bell まり” (played by Po Chung Marin)…

Since all these complete settings, can you please do these performances in the game, and use silhouettes to play dumb puzzles it is really unknown, and it can be said that it is unconditional in terms of reasoning stories.(Also, the author of the hidden prediction almost guessed it at the beginning, which is really unpleasant)

Another point of dissatisfaction is that there are not enough holomems in the show Except for the ending, the player will only see 3 holomems in the whole game, two of which have now been added in the “Train Arc” .

I mean, in addition to the voice, players almost only want to see Kongma.Anyway, Xingjie is also a key character in this script. Why didn’t he even show his face from the beginning to the end (only appear in bad ending1), it’s really too little, he Sha must die, and that 35 opens her mouth with a tongue squeeze Is there enough to play (the next 3000 words

In general, although “hololive ERROR” is called holistically, in terms of the evaluation of the game itself, even the slightly oily writer cannot give a high evaluation.

If you are looking forward to a high level of freedom puzzle exploration like “The Painscreek Killings” and “Paradise Island Killer”, or a game like “999 Extreme Escape Series” that amazes players with explosive points, then it is obvious that this work cannot satisfy you.

But if it is to support holistic orShe seems to be wearing sailor suitsIf so, then this work can be purchased to support it.

The full version of “hololive ERROR” is currently on sale on Steam, for 1,000 yen (about 186 New Taiwan dollars), and the game duration is about 2 to 4 hours.
