Brothers, I worked overtime until 9:30 today. When I was scrolling through my cell phone on the subway, I suddenly figured out something - our game time as workers was really torn to pieces. In the past, when I played large-scale mobile games, I had to play a full game as soon as I got online. There were guild battles and world bosses at every turn. I didn't even see what the boss looked like, so I had to go offline for a meeting. I didn't even bother to log in at the end.
But I recently discovered a treasure called "Surviving a Plane Crash". If I hadn't accidentally seen it while shopping in a store, I almost missed it. Let's talk about the key points first: this game costs no money, it can run on Android 5.0, and my three-year-old thousand-yuan phone has no lag at all. The most cruel thing is that it perfectly matches my fragmented time. I can chop down two trees while waiting for the elevator, build a wall during my lunch break, and roll a few rocks on my way home at night.
The game setting is very straightforward. You are not going on vacation, but you have been dropped on a desert island in a plane crash. You have to find food, make tools, build a house, and find a way to survive. It sounds silly, but in fact the rhythm is completely under your control. At first, I was worried that it would be like some games that always ask "please recharge if you are low on energy", but it turned out that they really didn't charge a penny and just let you use your hands and brain.
Let me tell you what's the most enjoyable part? It's that real sense of existential oppression. Unlike other games where there are guiding arrows everywhere, in this game you have to explore by yourself. Which vines can be used to twist ropes and which wood is suitable for making ax handles are all tried out by yourself. One time, in order to catch fish, I squatted in the corner of the subway station and studied how to sharpen wood for a long time. The aunt next to me thought I was playing Zuma.
Of course there are times when the car overturns. One time during lunch break, I was too involved in repairing the roof and forgot to save the progress. As a result, before the meeting in the afternoon, I found that the character had fainted from hunger. I really wanted to curse at the time, but looking back, isn't this the fun of survival games? If you make a mistake, try again, and eat barbecue wherever you fall.
Seriously, if you are like me and are as tired as a dog every day and just want to escape reality for twenty minutes on the subway without being kidnapped by daily tasks, this game is really suitable. It's not that it's awesome, but at least every time I open it, I can find a little sense of control on a desert island. By the way, if you die in the wildfire at the beginning, remember to run to the rainforest first and learn a lesson through blood and tears.
