Brave group's VTuber idol group GΔ59 announced a new alternate reality game called Mimicry on May 21. The ARG follows an earlier puzzle event and involves horror elements that blur into real life. The group debuted in May with four members and has already experienced an on-stream intrusion by a suspicious person.
The four-member VTuber idol group GΔ59, launched by Brave group's BEverse label under the Tokyo Virtual project, announced its second alternate reality game on Thursday. Titled Mimicry, the ARG centers on new mysteries and horror experiences that the group says will encroach on players' daily lives. A key visual and promotional video featuring an asymmetrical butterfly were released alongside keywords including Grimoire, Missing, Eternal Gray, and Hell. The main portion of the game is free to play.
GΔ59 debuted on May 8 with members Rin Tsumegari, Mee Yoiyami, Runa Shirajiro, and Konkon Amugami. The group's first ARG, Previous Life, Request for Flower Burial, ran in April. During Konkon Amugami's live broadcast, a person claiming to be a producer intruded; the group's official website later published a report on the incident. The statement and the intrusion itself are treated as part of the unfolding puzzle.
