NetEase’s Identity V (第五人格) has been released for a month in China, while the global version is currently accepting pre-registrations ahead of its unknown release date. As the 1 vs 4 survival horror mobile game is receiving much attention in China, some players have pointed out quite a few game elements that appear similar to the elements in multiple video games and movies.
Here are some examples of the similar elements discovered:
(Warning: Horror content included):
Loading screen – Similar to the cover image of Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game
Character – Similar clothes with Sebastian’s from The Evil Within
Character – Similar to the button-eyed doll/character appeared in Coraline
Character – Similar to the male character in Corpse Bride
Character skin – Similar to Dead Silence’s Billy (well even the character skin is named as Billy)
New hidden map – Similar concept to an abandoned video game titled Year Of The Ladybug
In my opinion, certain element does look similar but it might be just a similar idea from the Identity V developers so take it with a grain of salt. What do you think? Tell us your opinion in the comment section below!
