Hello, this is Yuksu from Mollu.
“Um, please don’t greet me and just start right away.”
“Okay.”
[Is this lack of awareness or intentional? LOL]
[Looks like the moderator’s reaction is tasty.]
[Mollu’s Yuksu]
[It’s my defeat… I admit it.]
With the sound of a page turning, the PPT page changes.
Bono Bono appears against a rainbow-colored background.
I wonder if it would have been better to just go with a plain white background.
“The game I want to introduce is Terrified. Some of you may have heard of it. Do you know about this game, Mollu?”
“No, not at all.”
[Good English pronunciation.]
[Yuksu went abroad, wow.]
[It was fried with butter…]
[Butter, what the hell LOL]
[Isn’t this a horror game?]
[Is it a horror game? LOL]
Information that can be found on Steam, such as the game’s developer, release date, and price, is listed out.
“That’s right. This game is a horror game. The title itself implies that: Terrified. It means to be extremely scared. Earlier, you mentioned that suggesting a horror game would be boring, but I have a reason for recommending this game.”
“What is it?”
“This game is not just a simple horror game.”
It should be, because I wouldn’t play a boring game where you just have to avoid ghosts and clear elements within the game.
“It’s not just a horror game. It contains many puzzle elements.”
“It’s a game set in a school where the player must roam around and find a way to escape from ghosts.”
“As you move to different locations or get closer to the truth of the incidents, puzzle elements appear. If you don’t clear the complex puzzles, you can’t finish the game.”
He certainly has a way with words.
Whether he works in sales or not, his explanation was straightforward and neatly piqued interest.
But puzzle elements… can that really be a merit?
“Isn’t that just something you put in to extend the playtime of a horror game?”
“I can’t say there aren’t games like that, but in this one, puzzles are essential. By finding hidden hints in the map, they serve to explain an otherwise boring story in a more intuitive manner.”
[What’s up with this person? Why does he talk so well?]
[Mollu’s Yuksu’s cuteness is skyrocketing LOL]
[Not anyone can do Yuksu…]
[He must be a game company employee.]
[Crazy gamer OMG]
[But why does the PPT feature Bono Bono?]
“And because of this puzzle system, the game incorporates both physical and brain-based elements. What this means is,”
“If you’re stupid, you can’t get through, right?”
“That’s right. These days, many streamers are gathering, and there’s a lot of noise coming from it. There are those who say Mollu is just a thoughtless person with an empty head, and this game can show those misguided individuals what’s up.”
I felt a slight pang.
I think I was caught realizing that unlike other streamers, I don’t think much while broadcasting.
Since I have always conducted my broadcasts as I wished, there hasn’t been much need for me to think.
But aside from that, the idea that this person mentioned physical and brain elements simultaneously was somewhat tempting.
It could allow me to prove that I am not a coward, while also hoping to change the image of being known more as a physical player.
[Misguided, misguided individuals… ew…]
[For real, real Yuksu is a word encyclopedia.]
[But does the moderator really do well in horror games?]
[He’s clearly trying to interfere because he’s scared right now.]
[But with this dedication to introduce the game, shouldn’t we check it out?]
[For real LOL]
“Alright, pass. Today, I’ll play this game: Terrified.”
“Nice.”
Reactions from those doubting whether I could play a horror game or who thought I would get stuck on the puzzles began to appear.
I am not a bunny girl who is scared of intangible phantoms.
And I am not some coward who can’t solve puzzles in a game that’s not about testing my intelligence.
With those thoughts in mind, I changed the broadcast title to announce the start of the game.
Mollu is streaming!
– Bunny Girl Brainy Mollu is about to start.
“Ah, isn’t there any content… something I can do comfortably and with little effort…”
A man leaning back in a chair, his upper body half-buried, spins in circles.
It was Tex, who had poured all his strength into a competition and was now experiencing burnout, having somewhat neglected his stream.
Viewers criticized him for being insincere, but people generally don’t change easily.
Tex didn’t even blink.
<Philal has donated 10,000 won!>
– Mollu is playing Terrified, wanna check it out?
“Terrified? Is he playing a horror game?”
With just earbuds in, he sat there like a corpse but suddenly sat up.
As if he’d heard something interesting, he grabbed his mouse and started browsing streaming channels.
He found Mollu’s stream at the top, sorted by real-time viewer count.
“Wow. Bunny Girl Brainy is starting? That can’t be easy, Terrified.”
Tex murmured as he looked at Mollu’s stream screen.
Terrified was a game he had played not long ago.
A game with horror, thriller film vibes that brought a chill even to someone who enjoys them, requiring creativity and thinking for its puzzle elements.
Sudden jump scares resulting in a game over, failing a puzzle leading to a game over, various elements leading to a game over.
Although the YouTube views were good, how much flak had he taken from live viewers?
Tex shivered as he recalled that day.
“Right, I really struggled back then. But can Mollu clear it? Women usually avoid these scary games.”
[Mollu said she doesn’t feel fear.]
[They said something is wrong in her head.]
[She’s a real bunny girl and doesn’t get scared of ghosts.]
[A former Marine who catches ghosts OMG]
“Oh, so that’s why she wrote that in the title. Sounds fun. I really found some lazy content. Let’s check this out for a bit, shall we?”
Given that staying here only meant waiting forever to find content, Tex vowed to find something worth streaming next time.
There was no reason for Tex, who didn’t have a bad impression of Mollu, to decline the suggestion from his viewers.
“Okay, let’s take a look. Bunny Girl Brainy Mollu’s gameplay. Just a second, I’ll do a little mosquito check… you guys can handle this, right?”
And so, he smoothly entered Mollu’s stream.
As soon as he entered, Tex heard an unexpected sound.
– Aaaah!
A neatly delivered scream.
Hearing that, Tex played it off smoothly.
“Ooh, that almost pierced my ears. Mollu, what’s going on?”
The bunny girl, Mollu, was screaming.
Why? What is the reason?
Why am I so surprised to see ghosts now, when I used to not bat an eye?
As I fled from the pursuing ghost, I calmly reflected on it.
Calm might not be the right word for this situation, but nonetheless, I found the answer.
There was only one reason.
My body has changed from male to female.
That shouldn’t be a problem, but here’s my reasoning.
After becoming Ji-eun, my alcohol tolerance has decreased.
To be precise, my ability to detoxify alcohol has diminished.
Why has my detox ability decreased? Because my liver has shrunk.
A smaller liver… That’s why there’s a saying about dropping the liver.
People with smaller livers are generally more timid and lack courage.
Because they are physically born that way, they tend to be startled often even if they don’t want to be.
Right now, I am in exactly that situation.
Knowing that a ghost is going to appear, I yelled out a shriek in fear when it suddenly jumped out at me.
As proof, I am currently being chased by a ghost yet do not feel any real fear.
I am calmly dodging the ghost physically.
I shared this theory with the viewers, but all I got in return were mockery and laughter.
“So, I screamed because I was startled, not because I was scared. It’s because I have a small liver that I’m easily startled.”
[Oh yeah LOL]
[With that as an excuse…]
[I get it, so stop talking.]
[You explaining is so cute.]
[Bunny girl specialty: making excuses.]
[I feel concerned…]
“No, really. Being startled is a physiological reaction, not out of fear, you know? I think our country’s horror films are made wrong too. They just make it dark, play scary music, and jump out suddenly, and who wouldn’t get startled? That’s not horror, you know?”
[Wow]
[That statement…]
[Even a bold statement about the film industry…]
[This does not concern us ^^]
[I support this idea.]
“You understand what I want to say, right? Horror and jump scares are different from each other.”
I passionately explained it to the viewers, who seemed indifferent to my words.
While dodging the ghost chasing me.
