About this game

🎩 Beyond the screen, a man who should not know you is watching.
His name is Liotte.
From inside the television, he speaks to you — as though he has been waiting for your arrival.

“What would you say to someone who is obsessed with you?”

Channel 453 is a one-on-one interactive visual novel that explores trust, anxiety, obsession, and the meaning of “true love.”

The kindness in front of you may not remain kindness.
Behind devotion lies something deeper — loneliness… or something far more unsettling.

※ The protagonist is female and uses she/her pronouns.

Since many scenes are direct one-on-one conversations, characters often address her simply as “you,” though she/her pronouns are also used throughout the full game.

We hope this clears up any misunderstanding. More information about the protagonist and the full game will be revealed as release approaches. Please look forward to meeting her!
