WhisperGames and Lilien Games have announced murder mystery game The Real Face of a VTuber will launch on January 13 for PC via Steam. The Real Face of a VTuber will support English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language options when it launches.
Here’s an overview of the game, via its official Steam page:
Story
A grisly murder took place at the offices of Lilien Entertainment, home of famous VTuber “Kuripa,” resulting in the death of its founder. The killer can only be one of the company’s six employees.
What’s weird, though, is that multiple employees all claim to be Kuripa’s real face, saying they were streaming at the time of the murder—which is, of course, impossible. As prosecutor Justin Truth, it’s your job to get to the bottom of this mystery.
A Hardboiled Detective Comedy
This is a serious detective game, but that doesn’t mean it takes itself too seriously. Each suspect has their own colorful personality, and may occasionally get a little ridiculous. But don’t let their humor catch you off guard—these are suspects, after all, so anyone could be lying right to your face!
Hunt for Leads Online
You can also hop on the internet to search for clues when necessary. If you’re a VTuber fan, you can even hunt for Easter eggs on Kuripa’s very own channel. We made a full-fledged social media investigation system, and there’s a CAT… which should be enough for you to wishlist this game right now.
Court without the Boring Parts!
Our courtroom segments rely solely on questioning witnesses and presenting evidence! It’s court without any of the boring slow parts!
Friendly Witnesses
You’ll be working together with your witnesses, guiding them to provide testimonies that will help your case. Make sure you follow the rules, though, or the defense attorney will object and stop you in your tracks!
Hostile Witnesses
When the defense attorney questions her witnesses, it’s your turn to poke holes in their testimonies. The second they say something “objectionable,” well… you get to say the magic word!
Cross-examinations
Once the defense attorney is done, you can cross-examine her witness. If they say anything that conflicts with evidence you have on hand, don’t be shy! Present that evidence and show them who’s boss!
Who’s the Killer!?
Remember your goal—this whole game is about finding the killer. It’s up to you to choose who you think it is, a decision that will directly influence the game’s ending. There’s only one true killer, of course, which means there’s a very real chance of you choosing the wrong one.
