Reviews
- The game is a fun and entertaining experience, especially for fans of Inugami Korone, with a humorous and creepy storyline.
- The art style and sound design are well-executed, creating a creepy atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.
- It offers two endings, encouraging replayability and providing a sense of satisfaction for those who enjoy exploring different outcomes.
- The gameplay is very simplistic, primarily consisting of holding down a button to progress, which may not appeal to those looking for more interactive experiences.
- The game is quite short, taking only about 20-30 minutes to complete, leading some players to feel it lacks value for the price.
- Newcomers to the Vtuber scene may find the game confusing and unengaging due to its reliance on inside jokes and references specific to Korone's fanbase.

The story is a blend of humor and creepiness, centered around a vtuber character that engages with her community in a wholesome yet unsettling manner. While fans of the vtuber may appreciate the intricate lore and inside jokes, newcomers might find the narrative challenging to grasp due to its reliance on prior knowledge of the character's backstory. Overall, the storytelling is praised for its depth and philosophical implications, though the gameplay itself is often criticized.
“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.”

Overall, the game successfully balances humor and unease, making it appealing to fans of the genre.
“While it is technically a horror game, it's not at all scary, and indeed I was generally smiling and laughing throughout my two playthroughs.”
“It made me laugh my ass off while also making me feel slightly uneasy.”
“(Happy birthday Korone!) If you are a fan of Korone, you should 100% buy the game. It's cheap, nice, funny/cute yet creepy/scary at the same time.”
