Overview of Tsumimi Jikan: Kuro Oshii Hodo Aishiteru

In this game, players interact as viewers within the streaming sessions of an ex-idol, Tsumimi, as she investigates a haunted village with a dark past. The game advances over a cycle of 14 days, where players collect clues and progress through the narrative using various online tools, including social media, fan sites, and map searches. Every day, during Tsumimi's broadcasts, players can influence her decisions through donations, comments, and gifts, thus actively shaping the story's outcome.

The collection of information leads players closer to unveiling secrets surrounding disappearances linked to Tsumimi's past. The dynamic between player choices and the game's narrative promises to create a multifaceted experience, with unexpected developments occurring based on the gifts sent to Tsumimi during her streams.

As players immerse themselves in this chilling tale, they will be faced with pivotal decisions, and their reasoning will crucially impact the outcome of the story. The visual aesthetics, spearheaded by the talented artist Wata, encapsulate the delicate emotional expressions and eerie ambiance of the game's world.
