About Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME
The game puts players in the role of a viewer watching the live stream of "Tsumimi," a down-on-her-luck former idol turned streamer, and allows them to intervene as she investigates a rumor-shrouded abandoned village.
The story progresses over a 14-day cycle. During the day, players follow up on suspicious details spotted in the stream, tracking down information through SNS, fan sites, and map searches. At night, they intervene directly in Tsumimi's broadcast through superchats, comments, and gifts. All gathered information is stored in an investigation file, gradually connecting the dots toward a hidden past and the truth behind a disappearance case. Depending on what gifts are sent, unexpected reactions may surface in the following day's stream.
Players' intervention, investigation, deduction, and final choices will determine how the story ends.

Character design is handled by 緜/wata, whose artwork captures the game's delicate emotional expressions and distinctive world. The theme song is performed by Kagura Mea, with lyrics and composition by Kikuo. The song and game experience are crafted to complement each other, deepening the sense of the work's themes. Music video editing was handled by Toru Mitsuhashi, giving the song's world a visual form.
