For players who love this type of RPG, there are always a few games that will never be forgotten, such as "Mad Father", "IB" and "Forest of Fog and Rain" today.
The unified use of RPGmaker production is the common feature of these works, but in addition, these games have all chosen to re-release from the initial free-to-play game to the current reset and re-release, because the solid foundation laid in the early days can still be called excellent even if these games are put to this day, and the brilliance of the "masterpiece" has not become dim with the passage of time, but has been precipitated by time for a long time.
With so many reset games, I think Forest of Fog and Rain may not be the best reset game, but its existence is definitely the most responsive to players' expectations.
First of all, let's start with the most superficial surface, because the original work was first released in 2013, although the results achieved at that time are eye-catching enough, but its picture quality is obviously not enough today, so the overall picture renovation is one of the most intuitive and significant changes brought to players by this work.
The picture quality of the remake greatly improves the blur and roughness in the original work, when the player walks through the countryside field, you can stop here to choose a suitable angle to take a screenshot, yes, the current picture quality of this work can fully reach the level of allowing players to choose screenshots, especially on the banks of the Fishing River and the Mudengling map, compared to the original work, the game screen of the remake has indeed improved by more than one gear, and the beauty of the pixel game is vividly displayed in this work.
In addition, the UI system in the game and the standing drawing of the characters have also been significantly improved, players can completely find the feeling of playing for the first time in this work, the improvement of picture quality further plays a role in the game time, and the promotion of the story content can completely allow players to further get a sense of immersion.
The content of the picture has been changed so much, then the plot text as the main project has naturally been adjusted to a certain extent.
In the introduction of the opening story, this work basically maintains the same tone as the original: because of the traffic accident, the heroine "Shiori Kanzaki" lost her parents forever, the road ahead was bleak, there was nothing to rely on on her side, and loneliness swept Shiori's heart.
As life passed, one day when Shiori was cleaning her room, a group photo fell out of the clock on the wall that she had never seen before, and the man who appeared in the photo was strange and familiar to Shiori, in order to find out who the man appeared in the photo and find the traces of her late parents' past life, Shiori chose to go alone to the strange "Azawa Village".
In fact, if players who have experienced this work should know that one of the labels of this work is horror decryption, in the opening chapter and after arriving at the archive for the first time, it does make players feel a sense of oppression for a long time to a certain extent, personally, when the administrator appeared with a knife to chase the heroine, I really felt a sense of tension, and because the NPC moves faster in this work, NPCs often accelerate in vain in chasing battles and terrifying bridges, which can directly bring intuitive pressure to players.
But this atmosphere does not exist in the second chapter of "New Appearance".
The remastered version of the game currently has only three chapters, and if you briefly divide it, the first and third chapters are both chapters that focus on horror decryption, while the second chapter can be used as a separate classification. Without it, the second chapter is a new chapter added in the remastered version, and its content is not to further exaggerate the horror atmosphere, but more to take the player to play in the village of Azaga, and players can play Shiori in this chapter to fully experience the customs and people from the remote mountain village.
In addition to some side quests, the remake version also sets up various mini-games such as "fishing, collecting cards" for players, although this kind of mini-game does not have too much depth in the gameplay content, but its existence itself can indeed allow players to better feel the unique cultural scenery from Azahe Village, and the world view of the entire game can be said to have been greatly improved.
In addition, there are currently a total of six endings in the game, and players will encounter a variety of branching paths as they advance the main story, each branch corresponding to a different ending.
After the player completes the entire ending, there is also a "Talk about the Day After" chapter in this game, which is completely different from the additional content that appears in the original game, in this chapter, the player can come to participate in the festival of the Azahe River Village, and truly travel freely to live in the Azahe Village.
If the ending is a little unfinished after the ending, then the appearance of the after-day talk really allows players to experience what is satisfactory, whether for new fans or old fans, such an ending can be called a "regretless" existence.
