It always brings a smile to my face when I see that a new Chilla's Art game dropped. They always have such a unique take on the horror genre by combining it with everyday situations in Japanese society. Since I lived in Tokyo for 8 years it hits all the more home for me personally.
In Parasocial we play as a Vtuber, which is very cool since that feels quite close to what I do as a RU-vidr. I might not livestream or do commentary, but I still felt a connection nonetheless. Things take a turn for the worst when one night our webcam malfunctions and our face is revealed to the chat. From then onward strange things start happening and we start to doubt who we can trust!
Often each Chilla's Art game revolves around a gameplay gimmick and this time you play "games" within the game. It was a very interesting and fun experience to play the maze-like minigames while looking at a computer screen within the game I was playing. It was very meta in that regard.
I also liked that the area you got to explore was quite large and the overal pacing was great too. It is a lot more grounded compared to their previous released Night Security and I am glad to archive another classic within the Chilla's Art's repertoire.
