... that a reviewer noted that "
claustrophobia closes in when the lights go out" and that "Fear and confusion mix when undertaking the tasks in front of you" when reviewing Among Us VR? Source:

Overall: @
Pizzaplayer219: Good article. However, I feel as if the hook isn't all that interesting. It might be but I feel as if it would be better if you used a different hook.

the original game’s map is called “The Skeld” while Among Us VR’s map is called “The Skeld 2”. The name is mentioned in the source.

@
Pizzaplayer219: could you cite the exact passage in the source that talks about a map. I'm not finding it. --
RoySmith(talk) 15:37, 22 November 2022 (UTC)reply
“In space, no one can hear you scream, but everyone aboard the Skeld 2 probably can when you’re brutally murdered by an Impostor in Among Us VR.” And “The Skeld 2 is a fairly large and capable craft, but it requires a lot of maintenance to keep it flying.”

Ah, I understand the confusion now. I was looking for the literal word "map", as in
map. But you were using it in a video game specific sense, i.e.
Level (video games). I'm going to assume gamers would understand this implicitly, so restoring the tick.
@
Pizzaplayer219 and
RoySmith: I'm not sure how suitable a hook that needs readers to be gamers to understand is; could the hooks be checked again?

@
Kingsif: I think it's fine. My initial concern was that I was unable to verify the source because I was looking for the literal word "map". But once I got past that confusion, I'm OK with it. If you read the hook interpreting the word with its usual English meaning, the hook still makes sense. And it's linked in the article to where you can learn more about what a map is in a video game. --

Disagree. In a good hook some small amount of puzzlement or intrigue is embedded in a background the reader can make some sense of, but in ALTs 1 and 2 a gaming-ignorant reader will have no idea what the hook's even talking about, and will be confused rather than intrigued. Having said that, I think ALT0 might qualify if we imagine the reader finding the reviewer's language intriguing even if he doesn't know the context: "Lights out? claustrophobia? I wonder what that is?". Of course, when he clicks and finds out it's just a stupid video game he'll be disappointed, but that's beyond our purview here.

Made another one. Hopefully this one is more interesting. Feel free to change this one to your liking.
