“There was once a time that VTubing seemed like a thing that was only a small fad growing in Japan thanks to a few who pioneered the field and started making a splash overseas such as Kizuna Ai. Since then we’ve seen companies like Hololive explode in popularity around the world and VTubers in every language, shape, and content style have sprung up, be they part of a large corporation or an indie trying to run everything on their own. Anime style, 3D modeled, simple png designs, and more, Vtubers are everywhere. Yet at the heart of it all, except for one notable case that still has someone at least holding their reigns, there is still a face behind that animated Vtuber model.
Now what if the face behind that Vtuber model happened to be involved in a brutal murder case that happened right within the company’s own office? That is the question that indie developer Lilien Games poses with their unique blend of murder mystery and visual novel called The Real Face of a Vtuber. With plenty of references to Vtubing moments, some obvious inspirations here and there, and even a sprinkling of actual Taiwanese Vtubers, is this visual novel worth your time?”
