About Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME
Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME is a 15‑day psychological horror adventure where you act as a viewer of streamer Tsumimi. By day you scour fan sites, social media and search results for clues about the disappearance of her former partner Mashiro, and by night you intervene in the livestream using comments, Mega Chats and gifts. The game blends investigation, deduction and interactive streaming, with choices that affect later events and lead to multiple endings. A single‑player experience runs about four hours on a first playthrough and up to nine hours for all routes.
01 / THE GUIDE
Daytime Investigation
During daylight hours the game shifts to an investigative mode. Players explore external sources—fan sites, social media feeds, maps and search results—to uncover hidden details about Mashiro’s disappearance. These clues are presented as text, images or web‑style pages that the player can examine at their own pace. The information gathered forms the basis for later deductions. The deeper the player delves, the more connections become apparent, gradually revealing the darker truth behind Tsumimi’s stream. This investigative phase is essential for shaping subsequent interventions.
- Take notes on recurring names or symbols you encounter across different web pages.
- Compare timestamps on posts to identify which clues are recent versus older rumors.

Nighttime Stream Intervention
When night falls, the focus moves to Tsumimi’s livestream. Players can type comments, send Mega Chats, or give virtual gifts, each action influencing the stream’s direction. The timing and content of these interventions determine how Tsumimi reacts and what new information surfaces. Interventions are limited by a fund mechanic, so players must decide when to speak up and when to stay silent. The choices made here echo into later scenes, affecting both narrative flow and the final outcome.
- Reserve funds for critical moments when a decisive comment could unlock a new clue.
- Observe Tsumimi’s reactions to gauge whether your intervention is helping or hindering.

Multiple Endings
Your deductions, investigations and livestream actions collectively shape the story’s conclusion. Different combinations of choices lead to distinct endings, reflecting how much truth you uncovered and how you interacted with Tsumimi. The game encourages replayability; revisiting scenes shared across routes can reveal alternate outcomes. While the first playthrough lasts about four hours, exploring all branches extends total playtime to roughly eight or nine hours.
- After finishing, review which clues you missed to target them on a second run.
- Experiment with opposite intervention styles—silence versus active commenting—to see varied results.

Playtime and Replay Value
A single playthrough typically takes around four hours, offering a concise narrative experience. Players seeking all endings should expect an additional four to five hours, as they will need to replay certain scenes to explore different routes. Save data from the demo cannot be transferred to the full game, so anyone who played the demo will begin the full game without that prior progress.
- Plan a schedule that allows short sessions for each in‑game day to keep track of clues.
- Use the game’s save system before major interventions to compare outcomes later.

Content Advisory
Red Chat Ritual includes psychological tension, horror elements and occasional jump scares that use loud sounds or sudden visual changes. The narrative also touches on sensitive topics such as violence, blood, self‑harm and suicide. Players are warned that the game depicts intrusive behavior toward a livestream and unsettling scenes. These elements are presented sparingly but are integral to the horror‑mystery atmosphere.
- Play with headphones at a moderate volume to manage jump‑scare audio.
- If sensitive content is a concern, consider pausing during intense scenes.
