As summer sales wind down, GAME Watch rounds up deals across the Nintendo eShop, PS Store, and Steam. Featured titles include "Little Nightmares 3," "Capcom Belt Action Collection," "KINGDOM HEARTS III" at 60% off, "Like a Dragon 8" at 75% off, and more, with most discounts ending by late August.
SCRAP Co., Ltd. and Welks Studio released 'Yuru Yuru Seihaishin suru Oshi wa 100-man-kai Shinu' (The VTuber I Support Who Streams Casually Dies a Million Times) on Steam on August 5 at 16:00. The mystery visual novel tasks players with saving Arai Aranya, a clumsy raccoon VTuber and childhood friend of the protagonist, who repeatedly dies during her live streams. Players rewind the stream's seek bar to create a time loop, investigate the cause of each death, and send comments to alter Aranya's actions and guide her to safety. The game includes puzzle-solving battles between streamers, where Aranya can also die. The estimated playtime is 3 to 4 hours. The regular price is 3,500 yen, with a launch sale at 3,150 yen until August 18. The release was originally scheduled for July 29 but was postponed following the July 28 earthquake, as the game contains scenes depicting death from earthquakes and explosions. The Steam store page now includes a notice about these depictions.
Director Koichi Sakamoto, who has made numerous original tokusatsu works for Toei's streaming service TTFC, said in an interview marking the service's 10th anniversary that he wants to produce a sequel to the 2017-2018 crossover series Space Squad. He also expressed interest in reviving Metal Hero series and rebooting past heroes on the platform.
