在20年前有一个恐怖系列的游戏,叫哑巴屯
这个系列游戏有个很特别的设计,就是游戏开始界面有双难度,一个是动作战斗难度,另一个是谜题难度
战斗难度顾名思义,就是敌人的攻击和血条的影响,动作难度是降低主角的性能,高难度下,主角具有脚底抹油产生滑步的动作,类似马里奥一样,对于那种省子弹不杀敌的速通流程影响恶劣,还有个别主角枪法很烂,必须和敌人保持中程距离才能打中,太近或者太远都不行
谜题难度,是一个别具特色的设计
在简单谜题下,该游戏的谜题和生化危机差不多,无非就是3楼拿钥匙去开2楼的门,从后院拿易拉罐去前面楼房砸堵住的垃圾通道,但是在高难度下,谜题极其复杂,另外游戏还具备动态谜题的设计
动态谜题的意思就是,你必须亲自解谜,没有固定答案,看攻略不管用
至于谜题有多复杂,举几个简单的栗子
书店谜题:
In here is a tragedy---art thou player or audience?
Be as it may, the end doth remain:
all go on only toward death."
这是开头,与谜题无关
The first word at thy left hand:
a false lunacy, a madly dancing man.
Hearing unhearable words, drawn
to a beloved's grave---and there,
mayhap, true madness at last."
虚伪的疯子,疯狂跳舞的男人,这是在说Hamlet。
"As did this one playing at death,
find true death at last.
Killing a nameless lover, she
pierced a heart rent by sorrow."
讲的是Romeo and Juliet的最后一幕,Juliet假装自杀,Romeo却当真了。
"Doth lie invite truth?
Doth verity but wear the mask of falsehood?
Ah, thou pitiful, thou miserable ones."
联系一下的话,几行应该没什么用,而且这几行有点太概括了,所有的书都合适~ 所以干脆去掉了
"Still amidst lies, though the end cometh
not, wherefore yearn for death?
Wilt thou attend thy beloved? Truths
and lies, life and death:
a game of turning white to black and
black to white."
写的是Othello
下面的一行包含两个部分
"Is not a silence brimming with love more
precious than flattery?
是在说King Lear的唯一一个真爱他的女儿
A peaceful slumber preferred to a throne
be**irched with blood?
调查第三本书,就会知道这是在说Macbeth
现在5本书的顺序应该是41523,但是还没有完,还有:
"One vengeful man spilled blood for two;
Two youths shed tears for three;
Three witches disappeared thusly;
And only the four keys remain."
首先One vengeful man spilled blood for two vengeful man,复仇心重的男人,应该是Hamlet,他甚至想报复自己已经死去的父亲
"spilled blood for two",流出的血变为两个
Hamlet是在vol.4上,所以把4x2,得到8。现在的数字就是81523
然后Two youths shed tears for three
Two youths,两个年轻人,那就是Romeo and Juliet
"shed tears for three",泪水变为3个
Romeo and Juliet是vol.1,1x3是3,数字变成83523
Three witches disappeared thusly
Three witches,三个女巫,在Macbeth出现,她们告诉Macbeth自己的未来
"disappeared thusly",就这样消失了
Macbeth是Vol.3,所以要去掉那个3,这样数字就变成8352
最后And only the four keys remain
只保留4个kyes,正是我们上面所完成的 8352
因此,我们得到密码8352
医院2F西翼谜题:
"Pure eyes, blue like a glassy bead---You are always looking at me
and I am always looking at you.
Ah, you're too meek ---
beautiful, unspoiled:
thus I'm so sad, I suffer---
and so happy, it hurts.
I want to hurt you
and destroy myself
What you would think
if you knew how I felt.
Would you simply **ile,
not saying a word?
Even curses from your mouth
would be as beautiful as pearls.
I place my left hand on your
face as though we were to kiss.
Then I suddenly shove my thumb
deep into your eyesocket.
Abruptly, decisively,
like drilling a hole.
And what would it feel like?
Like jelly?
Trembling with ecstasy, I obscenely
mix it around and around: I must
taste the warmth of your blood.
How would you scream?
Would you shriek "It hurts!
It hurts!" as cinnabar-red tears
stream from your crushed eye?
You can't know the maddening
hunger I've felt in the midst of
our kisses, so many of them
I've lost count.
As though drinking in your cries,
I bring my hopes to fruition:
biting your tongue, shredding it,
biting at your lips as if tasting
your lipstick.
Oh, what euphoric heights I would
reach, having my desires fulfilled
like a greedy, gluttonous cur.
I longed, too, for your cherry-tinted
cheeks, tasty enough to bewitch my
tongue.
I would surely be healed,
and would cry like a child.
And how is your tender ear?
It brushes against my cheek;
I want it to creep up to my lips so
I can sink my teeth into its flesh.
Your left ear, always hearing words
whispered sweet as pie ---
I want it to hear my true feelings.
I never lied, no...
but I did have my secrets.
Ah, but what must you think of me?
Do you hate me? Are you afraid?
As though inviting you to the agony
at the play's end; if you wish, you
could destroy me --- I wouldn't care.
As you wish, you may destroy me
--- I wouldn't care."
现在设想你就是提示中的「我」,提示中的「你」就是密码盘,现在「我」要「吃掉」密码盘的脸,首先 密码盘有上中下三行,9个数字,那麼很明显5就是鼻子,8应该是嘴,1,3是眼睛,4,6,7,9是脸颊,但是提示中有说到耳朵,所以,4,6就应该是耳朵,脸颊是7,9。当你面对一个人的时候,你的「左」就是他的「右」。如果你用左手触摸一个人的脸的话,一般你会摸他的右脸颊,所以你用左手拇指挖出她的 眼球的话,肯定会是她的右眼1,但是眼球已经被挖出来了,在4的位置上,所以密码的第一位应该是4,然后你开始吻她并吃掉她的嘴唇,你吃掉的很明显是8,所以第二位元密码是8,然后你开始吃她的左脸颊,那是9,最后是左耳朵,所以最后一位是6吃饱以后,你得到的密码是4896
医院B3停尸房谜题:
炉门上有如下文字:"Burn the one who knows no death .
Pure, adored by those above.
No prayers within, just simple love.
And now the pining hunter.
The flames longing for his rebirth.
A distant flame within the earth.
Burn up that heavy body of his.
Make it wind, dancing in the sky.
That bottomless gut now a cloud, now a sigh.
The sweet blood on his laughing lips.
Now calls him to the gates of hell.
There burns evermore that soulless shell.
Four bodies return to ashes.
Thus the door is opened.
Thus the door is opened."
五段话,最后一段是结尾,其他的四段每一段对应一个数位,找到就是密码
每张床上都有一张卡片,卡片的内容和床上的数位对应如下:
0- The Kite:
The Kite hot, crazy and panting mad.
Sweet shackles that tease and excite.
Death itself would drive him wild.
Red blood that turns milky white.
Kite, 鸢鹞鹰
1- The Sparrow:
Who killed Cock Robin?
"The Sparrow," they said.
"He wants them all dead.
To him honey-sweet is their sobbing.
Sparrow,麻雀
2- The Owl:
The Owl who forgot the sky.
Resigned to his poor earthbound state.
Hungry of full didn't matter at all,
He ate and he ate and he ate.
Owl,猫头鹰
3- The Thrush:
The grass the Thrush so loved to eat.
Gave him sweet happiness.
He sank ever deeper and finally fell.
To destruction and fatal distress.
Thrush,画眉
4- The Robin:
Cock Robin, who hid the key away.
Is ash in the oven all right.
The place he held is empty now.
And the doors remain shut tight.
Robin,旅鸫
5- The Lark:
The Lark's child lost all his words.
And walled himself up all away.
Heart and mouth both locked up tight.
In a cage where no one want to stay.
Lark,云雀
6- The Dove:
The Dove's hope died, he chose his path.
His flapping wings fell still.
Drenched in scarlet there he lay.
His cheeks pale white an chill.
Dove,鸽子
7- The Linnet:
He seeks out her soul by his own black ambition.
Frightening her out of her wits.
Whispering love songs in her ear.
What cruel Linnet wants, he gets.
Linnet,红雀
8- The Rook:
The black Rook is the praying sort.
Who hears the gods in the skies.
His whispered petitions go on without end.
And glassy and dim are his eyes.
Rook,白嘴鸦
9- The Wren:
The Wren with pure heart as yet unrefined.
Makes us laugh unto his feeble lip-**acking.
But still we all know he shall never grow old.
And he knows not how much he is lacking.
Wren, 鹪鹩
九种鸟,其中的四种是要找的密码,这个比较麻烦,从九张卡片上的内容找出与提示对应的鸟类,密码就是卡片序号
最后可以找出对应的内容和序号:
Burn the one who knows no death .
Pure, adored by those above.
No prayers within, just simple love.
可以知道第一种鸟是鹪鹩
第二位是:
And now the pining hunter.
The flames longing for his rebirth.
A distant flame within the earth.
这应该是猫头鹰
第三位是:
"Burn up that heavy body of his.
Make it wind, dancing in the sky.
That bottomless gut now a cloud, now a sigh."
这个是红雀
最后一位:
"The sweet blood on his laughing lips.
Now calls him to the gates of hell.
There burns evermore that soulless shell."
是麻雀
然后密码就出来了:9271
按理来说,谜题是动态的,还复杂,找攻略都不能立刻解答,一般玩家肯定就望而却步了,但是20年前游戏还没有那么多,另外哑巴屯这个系列的剧情非常优秀,尤其是2代剧情封神,1和3代拍成电影都大获成功了,所以很多玩家也就硬着头皮玩下去了。
至于现在的高难度解谜游戏,它已经沦为一种小众狂欢了,很难和那些大作融合到一起了
比如说:
等等Meta游戏,已经不是人玩游戏了,而是有点偏向于游戏玩人了
