Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 24 24. Not good! "Onmyoji" is going to be a hit!

In the latest bi-weekly issue of Famitsu, there was a report about the new game "Onmyoji" by Pokeni, a little-known small company.

Among them, 4 editors gave this game high scores.

The total score is 39 points.

Only one point away from perfect score.

"Onmyoji" entered the Platinum Hall with such a terrible score.

If the Famiton score exceeds 30 points, it will be classified as a palace-level game.

30-34 is the gold hall, and 35-39 is the platinum hall. As for the games with a perfect score of 40 points, there will be no more than 40 games by 2023.

One can imagine how remarkable Pokeni's "Onmyoji" is to get a high score of 39 points in the hands of these [strict] editors.

The only point that was deducted was Editor Ishida’s evaluation:

[This is definitely a great game that can be recorded in the history of games]

[There is no exaggeration in it at all]

[Although "Onmyoji" is a galgame, it is impeccable in terms of romance, plot, and even combat details]

[The only thing that makes me think I have to deduct points is that the ending of the game is really disappointing]

[The difficulty is not to say that the ending is not good, but on the contrary, it is very good, so good that it makes people feel that this game is like "Snow Country" written by Kawabata Yasunari]

[For the sake of players’ experience, I won’t spoil it here, but I believe that after you try it out, you will definitely have the same feeling as me, that is——]

[This is a game that everyone should experience once in their lifetime, but there is only one chance to experience it, because as long as you have played this game, you will lose the courage to touch it again. 】

[Based on the comprehensive judgment of the game's gameplay, graphics, quality, plot, combat, system... I gave it a high score of 9 points. 】

…

Other editors' reviews of "Onmyoji" can only be described as full of praise.

[This game, whether it is a galgame or an RPG, has reached the pinnacle of its field]

[This is the first time I have experienced a game with such beautiful graphics on a NES, it has brought the galgame game to unprecedented heights]

[I believe that after the emergence of Onmyoji, it will be difficult to find such a fascinating galgame game on the market. 】

[From a visual point of view, Onmyoji is well-deserved No. 1. In every sense, no game in the world can compare with it]

[From a plot perspective, Onmyoji is definitely a masterpiece and totally worth buying.]

[When I heard that the game was priced at 8,000 yuan, I was quite surprised, because even galgame games selling to such an extent are a bit exaggerated, and they are completely robbing users of their money. But after I experienced it, I must say -

Excellent value for money. 】

…

In short, Famitsu’s ratings and reports have directly brought a [niche] game like “Onmyoji” into people’s horizons.

Many people have begun to be very curious about this galgame type RPG.

On the one hand, the magazine Famitsu is very influential, and on the other hand, it is also because "Onmyoji" is good enough, even the screenshots placed in the magazine——

The scene where the hero and heroine meet on Fairy Island as the cherry blossoms fall is breathtakingly beautiful.

The accompanying battle pictures and feature pictures are enough to make people feel the shocking beauty.

Just one look at it is enough to make you fall in love with this game, or at least want to play it.

It is precisely because of Famiton's super influence that there is an endless stream of people going to game stores to buy "Onmyoji".

Game stores, which originally had few reserves, were quickly sold out.

pokeni's phone was buzzing with calls.

After Qing Zhiyuan read the report, a puzzled and amused expression appeared on his face.

"What's this? You're deducting one point from us, right?"

"You are satisfied, President!" Akane Ayase placed a glass of boiled water in front of him.

She looked at Qing Zhiyuan with some complaints.

This guy is simply a typical example of someone who has healed his scars and forgotten the pain.

Last night he looked desperate and even wanted to dissolve the company, but now he looked playful and smiling.

"President, if Famitsu hadn't given us such a high score, pokeni would have been disbanded by now, okay?"

"Uh..." Qing Zhiyuan frowned severely.

"Also, please hurry up and hire another assistant. I'm obviously an HR, so why do I always do secretary work?" Akane Ayase waved her hand and returned to her workstation.

emmmm……

Qing Zhiyuan closed his eyes and meditated.

Isn’t this little HR a little too jumpy?

Is it because I've been nicer to her lately?

…

The sales of "Onmyoji" rose rapidly. In less than three days, the sales climbed from the original low of 1,000 copies, and then quickly hit 10,000.

Then 20,000.

30000……

If this momentum continues, "Onmyoji" is bound to break 100,000.

Of course, Famiton's impact on future sales will be crucial, but it's not all their fault.

Players who have purchased "Onmyoji" before have acted as a very important communication medium. It is precisely because of their word-of-mouth and promotion that there will be a steady stream of players flocking to the game store.

This is the power of word of mouth.

It's just that this process takes a certain amount of time to settle, so Pokeni has fallen into a short trough. Regardless of whether there is Famiton's promotion or not, the game will explode sooner or later.

It’s just a matter of time.

…

"Oops! pokeni's new game is going to be popular!"

Inside Brewins Company, a colleague from the operations department shouted.

"Really?" The other club members turned their attention to him.

"Really. I have a primary school classmate who now works at Pokeni, and he told me. It is said that "Onmyoji" is now sold out, and the phone calls for orders are booming every day.

And I went to a nearby game store to check and found that all new pokeni games were basically sold out. "

"Nani?!"

Chief planner Mizutani Takaya was shocked.

This is impossible!

How could a garbage game that had sold less than 1,000 copies a while ago turn around?

This has never happened before in the history of gaming.

If there is anyone in the world who least wants pokeni to succeed, then Takaya Mizutani must be among the top three.

As a former member of Pokeni, he was the main planner of the Pokeni project at the time. Now that he has defected to Bluvens, if "Onmyoji" succeeds, where will his face be?

Doesn't this mean that his vision is not good? !

But the most irritating thing is the new news that colleagues said next——

"It is said that "Onmyoji" was selected into Famiton's Platinum Hall, and Famiton gave it a super high score of 39 points!"

"Nani?!"

Mizutani Takaya's eyes widened, "Isn't it?"

Just that kind of... rubbish...

He clutched his chest and suddenly felt a little pain.
