VTuber Viral Sim Sends Players Back to 2018
The game turns the VTuber grind into a time-loop management sim, then flips the fantasy with a Reality Mode that simulates the weight of streaming without growth.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Wataritama Studio announced the PC management sim "Kako de Buzutte VTuber -2018 kara nara Buzurerun ja!?" for Steam, launching within the year. Players time travel to 2018 and try to go viral as a VTuber in one year, raising five stats and reading weekly trends. Failing resets subscribers and money but keeps skills. Clearing the game unlocks Reality Mode.
Wataritama Studio opened the Steam store page alongside the announcement, so the game is already listed for wishlisting. Each run covers one year starting in 2018, and the player raises five stats, talk, production, games, illustration, and singing, while reading the week's trends. The more prep a streamer puts in, the easier it is to go viral.
Missing the target sends the player back in time, wiping subscribers and money but keeping skills, so every restart begins from a stronger base. The avatar can be set to any appearance through OBS or VTube Studio, and players who do not stream can use the included silhouette sample materials. The goal for a run is 10,000 subscribers.
