Red Chat Ritual – Tsumimi Time: A Missing Streamer, Internet Mysteries, and Psychological Horror

Red Chat Ritual – Tsumimi Time is a psychological horror game that turns a livestream into an interactive mystery. You follow streamer Tsumimi as you try to uncover what happened to Mashiro, her former partner who mysteriously disappeared.

But you’re not just a viewer here.

You can intervene directly in the livestream, investigate clues scattered across the internet, and make decisions that could change the course of the story — and even determine which ending you’ll get.

How Does Red Chat Ritual – Tsumimi Time Work?

Red Chat Ritual – Tsumimi Time revolves around a day-and-night cycle, combining investigation, deduction, and interaction with a livestream.

During the day, you step away from the livestream to investigate the world around you. Clues may be hidden in:

• Social media;
• Fan sites;
• Maps;
• Search results;
• Records and other information scattered across the internet.

This is where the game really embraces its detective side. Not everything is explained outright, so you’ll need to connect different pieces of information to figure out what’s really going on.

At night, it’s time to tune in to Tsumimi’s livestream.

And that’s when you can intervene.

Red Chat Ritual Lets You Become Part of the Livestream

Instead of simply watching the streamer broadcast her content, you can use comments, Mega Chats, and gifts to try to influence what happens during the livestream.

That raises some interesting questions:

• What will you say?
• When is it better to stay silent?
• Is it worth spending your money to intervene?
• What information should you share?
• And can you really trust what you discovered during the day?

Your interventions aren’t just about triggering immediate reactions. The choices you make during livestreams can affect later events and the story’s ending.

That means even a seemingly minor decision could become important as the mysteries start to connect.

Mashiro’s Disappearance Is Only the Beginning

Behind the cute appearance of Tsumimi’s livestream lies a much more disturbing story.

Mashiro, a streamer who was close to Tsumimi, has disappeared. As you investigate the case, you’ll start uncovering rumors, strange records, and signs of obsessive behavior scattered across the internet.

What’s interesting is how the game uses familiar elements of livestream culture and online communities to build its atmosphere.

Comments may hide clues. Fan sites might reveal information that never appears on stream. A simple search could turn up something that completely changes how you interpret a situation.

A while ago, I played a somewhat similar game called Pricolage Idolized. The big difference is that Idolized isn’t a horror game, but you also have to use the internet to track down a missing idol. I played it and absolutely loved it, so I’m really excited about Red Chat Ritual!!!

Your Deductions Change the Ending

Red Chat Ritual – Tsumimi Time features multiple endings, and the ending you get will depend entirely on your actions. Sending a Super Chat at a specific moment or discovering certain clues could change how the story ends.

I’m not sure how many endings the game will have, though.

How Long Is Red Chat Ritual – Tsumimi Time?

According to the official information, the first playthrough takes approximately 4 hours. If you want to explore the different routes and endings, the estimated total playtime is around 8–9 hours.

The game also warns that you may need to replay certain scenes to reach specific endings.

The game launches on the 22nd, and you can add it to your Steam wishlist.
