About This Game

🎩 Beyond the screen, a man who should not know you is watching.
His name is Liotte.
From inside the television, he speaks to you — as though he has been waiting for your arrival.

“What would you say to someone who is obsessed with you?”

Channel 453 is a one-on-one interactive visual novel that explores trust, anxiety, obsession, and the meaning of “true love.”

The kindness in front of you may not remain kindness.
Behind devotion lies something deeper — loneliness… or something far more unsettling.

*The protagonist is female. For player immersion, her appearance is rarely shown, and gendered pronouns referring to her are intentionally avoided; characters usually address her simply as “you.”

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

The English localization of Channel 453 was produced through a combination of human translation and editing.

Some sections of the game, including portions of the demo, were translated by a human translator.

For a limited number of sections in the full game, generative AI tools were used only as a first-pass aid for English localization and language editing. These tools were not used to create the original scenario or characters.

All AI-assisted English text was subsequently reviewed, revised, and polished by humans before being included in the final game.

We are providing this information on Steam in the interest of transparency and to help players make an informed decision about the game.

To avoid any misunderstanding: this refers to a test-stage build. The final release will be provided with fully human-translated localization alongside the finalized store page update.
