261013-8h乐园通关确实是剧情很出彩的独立作品 今天请假在家,中午把这个游戏通关了 一个能预料到它的整体剧情结构,但是到最后还是很感人的作品,尤其是音乐的部分很感人 这部作品的剧情结构其实就是典型的现实与想象空间互相映照。现实世界当中,小男孩住在医院里面,隔壁是暴躁的托尼老爷爷,对面是记者夫妻、叫苏的小姑娘,还有忘记了自己老婆的喜三郎。在小男孩的幻想世界当中,他和妈妈一起冒。帮助了一只叫托尼的熊,也帮助了两只互相相爱的小猫,帮助一个叫苏的幻影找到了自己的小狗,还帮助一个叫喜三郎的河童和自己的老婆相见…… 每次他完成一个主线任务,就会得到一首歌,然后到最后的时候,小男孩被自己的阴暗面和悲伤情绪拐走。妈妈去救他的时候,所有的伙伴都出来了。在幻想世界当中,他所有救过的伙伴都出来了——一起唱的那首歌,就是在这个时候情绪到达高点,红了整个眼眶 其实这部作品有几个记忆点还蛮深刻的,比如说那个叫苏的小姑娘一直在收集石头,男孩每次把收集到的石头给小姑娘的时候,他都会告诉你,这个石头是一个星球,有的星球有一颗很高的树,有的星球是一个上下颠倒的茶室,有的星球是一片海洋,有的星球是由棉花和枕头做的……在第4章结束的时候,小女孩的身体撑不住死了,男孩还梦到了她 另外还有一个记忆点就是男孩其实从一开始就戴着那个折纸的帽子。然后我也没想太多,结果到了最后一章的时候,各种条件浮现出来。男孩的爸爸是抢救核电站事故死掉的,然后男孩自己肯定也受到了辐射,特别是各种水(严重怀疑这件事情和福岛核电站有关)所以等到最后男孩许愿去跟森空之神许愿的时候——他的愿望就是能去到乐园Rakuen。然后紧接着下一场景,妈妈就牵着男孩的手,送他到了一艘巨大的龙船前面。男孩上了船,把纸帽子还给妈妈。这个时候我才看到她的头发已经掉光了,所以肯定也是放疗的结果……最后他也没有撑住,应该是死掉了 这个剧情里面让我觉得特别感慨的一个点就是,在整个男孩的幻想冒险当中,妈妈都是一直陪着他的,绝大部分时间都是陪着他的(我忽然想到,只要有镜子的房间,妈妈好像就没有跟着进去,说明其实男孩是幻想妈妈在陪着他)。然后到了最后的时候,妈妈其实也一直守在床边,陪着小男孩到了最后一刻。怎么说呢,貌似这个游戏的作者是一个女性,所以情感投射非常细腻。然后视角某种程度上来说,其实就是从作为母亲的角度来描写的,描写自己的丈夫怎样牺牲掉自己的儿子,又如何和病魔做抗争,最后仍然没有坚持下来……还挺悲伤的。 一段不错的体验。等到全部都玩完了之后,再去看这张海报,就会觉得更感慨一些 另外,我看有些同人作品把小男孩和《传说之下》的角色放到一起,这两部作品确实有一些相同之处,很多角色的塑造都是不错的,至少作者花了很多笔墨去描写他们

All the emotions i felt while playing this game, 10/10 that i wish there's more games like this as a huge fan of reading and loving explorations of real life meets surrealist dreams of what we feel... especially when we feel hopelessness and fatigue from illnesses

This game is overwhelmingly sad, I highly recommend for anyone who similarly appreciated any of the freebird games (To The Moon). Play without knowing anything about the story and appreciate this heartfelt tale.
