Reviews
- Great for fans of Inugami Korone, offering a fun and entertaining experience with a mix of humor and creepiness.
- The game features a unique art style and sound design that enhances the overall atmosphere, making it enjoyable despite its simplicity.
- Short playtime with two endings encourages replayability, making it a decent value for fans looking for a quick experience.
- Gameplay is overly simplistic, primarily consisting of holding down a button with minimal interaction, which may disappoint those seeking a more engaging experience.
- The game is heavily reliant on knowledge of Korone and her lore, making it less accessible for newcomers unfamiliar with Vtubers.
- Short length (around 20-30 minutes) may leave players feeling that it lacks depth and content for the price.

The story is a blend of humor and creepiness, centered around vtuber culture, particularly focusing on Inugami Korone. While fans of Korone may find the narrative engaging and rich with inside jokes, newcomers may struggle to appreciate it due to a lack of context and backstory. Overall, the plot is praised for its depth and philosophical implications, but its appeal is largely limited to those familiar with the vtuber community.
“Great storyline, this is a masterpiece.”
“A very wholesome story about a cute vtuber taking lovingly care of her community and gaining new fans.”
“The philosophical implications of this game's detailed and invigorating story writing will be felt for generations to come.”
“Maybe if I understood the backstory or context more, I'd get more out of this. But as a newcomer, what I got was a game where I essentially held the left mouse button down the whole time as my character walked across the screen from right to left, as progressively creepier things started to happen in the background.”
“However, this story mostly involves the inside jokes around Korone and her streams on a spooky turn, so it is further difficult to recommend to someone unfamiliar with either her or vtubers in general.”
“However, for non-Hololive fans, this game is a tough recommendation, as much of the entertainment derived from the game will go over your head since there is three years' worth of backstory to Korone’s fandom that you are not privy to.”
