Roco Kaburaki, a Nijisanji VTuber, released a self-made short novel game titled "My VTuber Friend Lost Her Memory" on June 5. The game is free to download via a GigaFile link shared on her social media, with a download period running until September 13. It is a Windows-only title.
Kaburaki wrote the scenario, dialogue, and in-game illustrations herself. She said production began in mid-May after she asked ChatGPT a question, then downloaded Unity and built the game from scratch. The story follows a VTuber who is hospitalized with amnesia, and the game has five endings, most of which Kaburaki described as "not very happy." She noted the story is unrelated to her own life and asked players to treat it as an original or derivative work.
On the night of the release, Kaburaki played the game on a stream alongside fellow Nijisanji member Ruri Shioriha. Shioriha expressed surprise that Kaburaki managed to make a game while balancing streams and university. Kaburaki said she was surprised that media covering games had picked up what she had intended as a fan anniversary post.
