What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are releasing the game in Early Access so that players can experience the core gameplay and provide feedback on the game mechanics and balance.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for approximately six months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During Early Access, we plan to focus on adjusting event artwork and game balance.

Based on feedback from players, we may also consider adding new story content and making further improvements to the gameplay as needed.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay is complete, and the current Early Access version can be played through to the end.

During Early Access, we plan to mainly focus on adjustments to game balance and event content.
The core artwork and music are also largely complete, and we do not currently plan to make major changes to them during Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The price may change during Early Access depending on the progress of development.

As new content and features are added, we plan to increase the price accordingly.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about in-game events, game balance, and overall gameplay.

We will use feedback shared through the Steam Community and social media as a reference when making adjustments and improving the game.”

About This Game

2018. Time-leap to the dawn of VTubing.

No agencies. No playbook. Nothing was settled yet.
Time rewinds, and you begin again as a VTuber nobody has heard of.
One year to go from zero subscribers to viral.

Train, stream, go viral

Talk, Editing, Gaming, Art, Singing — raise five stats and keep streaming.
That's the whole loop, and it's a simple one.
Read the week's trend, put in the prep work, and your odds of a BUZZ go up.
One spike changes everything.

Your own avatar streams inside the game

The core hook: capture a window or a virtual camera directly.
OBS, VTube Studio, or whatever you already stream with — bring it straight in.
Your model stands in the in-game stream window and in your room.
Not a streamer? Bundled silhouette art works out of the box.

Fall short, and time rewinds

Miss your goal and you time-leap. Subscribers and money are gone, but
your skills stay in your muscle memory. No limit on rewinds. Come back stronger.

And then there's Reality Mode

Normal mode is a game where hard work pays off.
Reality Mode is not. You don't grow. It doesn't pay off.
It's here so you can feel the weight that real streamers actually carry.

Before you play

  • Do not install into a folder path containing non-ASCII characters — the game will fail to launch
  • Virtual camera capture requires OBS, VTube Studio, or similar (not included)
  • Direct Live2D model3.json loading is planned for a future update

Streaming & Video Policy

Feel free to stream and post videos of this game — individuals and companies alike.

No prior notice or permission request is needed. Monetization is fine (ads, memberships, tips).

Spoilers and endings are entirely up to you.

All music and sound effects in this game are cleared for streaming, so you can leave the audio on.

The only ask: please don't use the game for unlawful purposes, or to harass or defame

anyone — including us. That's it.

Your own stream layout shows up inside the game. Give it a try.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Storytelling: Generative AI tools were used to assist with narrative structure and drafting certain character dialogues. While these tools provided the initial drafts, the final story elements were integrated into the game based on these AI-generated outputs.

Localization: The game's localization (translations) has been generated using AI-powered translation technologies. Please note that these translations have been implemented directly as generated by the AI without manual review or post-editing for accuracy and context.
