About Red Chat Ritual: TSUMIMI TIME
Red Chat Ritual: TSUMIMI TIME follows players as viewers of "Tsumimi," a struggling former idol livestreaming from a village with a troubled past. The story unfolds over a 14-day cycle: during the day, players use SNS searches, fan sites, and map tools to investigate clues found in Tsumimi's stream; at night, they interact through virtual tips, comments, and presents. All gathered information accumulates in an investigation file, eventually revealing the truth behind a disappearance case. Items sent as presents can also trigger unexpected reactions in the next stream. Players' interventions, investigations, deductions, and final choices all influence the outcome.
Character design is by Wata, the theme song is performed by Kagura Mea, with lyrics and composition by Kikuo, and music video editing by Tall Mitsuhashi. The music and gameplay are designed to interlink, deepening the atmosphere of the game world.
