Evaluation

RE0: VTuber Life launched on October 31, 2024. Shortly after launch, on November 4, 2024, the developer posted a detailed announcement (in Chinese) committing to a DLC featuring 3 new romance-able characters with independent storylines, new schedule events, and a group event minigame. Community contributions — VTuber gossip and stories — were solicited for inclusion in this DLC content. On April 25, 2025, the developer posted an English-language update confirming that the English localization was complete and explicitly stated "this is not the endgame," signaling further content beyond the English release. A playtest for the English version ran in June 2025, and the full English version officially launched on July 24, 2025 — the last communication from the developer on Steam. As of October 1, 2026, over 14 months have passed since that July 24, 2025 launch post with no further updates, patch notes, or news of any kind. The previously announced DLC has not appeared as a store listing and there is no indication of its progress. While the developer was active in the months following the original launch, posting multiple updates per month, this extended silence — well beyond their historical posting pattern — raises real concern about whether the announced DLC is still being actively developed. No explanation for the pause has been provided.

About this game

RE0: VTuber Life is a VTuber simulation game where you manage the protagonist’s daily life, livestream schedule, friendship, gossip intake, and fan interactions—all leading to multiple possible endings.

Game Features

◆VTuber simulation and daily life management

◆Story-rich with multiple endings and replay value

◆Experience the ups and downs of a common VTuber

◆A fresh mix-up of different VTuber communities

◆Localized and adapted from CN VTuber community—a fresh take for you!

Our Protagonist

She's a somewhat introverted girl who lacks confidence, but she loves to sing. Her father, a prominent hydraulic engineer, hopes she’ll follow in his footsteps and has insisted she major in hydraulic engineering. However, she wants to pursue a career in music. They strike a deal: if she can achieve something in music within six months, she can continue on her chosen path; if not, she must take a job at the Water Bureau. Encouraged by a senior art student, she decides to start out as a VTuber.

And so—

Our Red Dragon Princess Viona makes her dazzling debut!

Will she become a singing sensation? A Top 100 streamer? A pro gamer? An idol? Or will she return to reality and become a hydraulic engineer, only singing at the annual company party? Her future is in your hands…

Her Friends

While streaming or going out, Viona meets many other VTubers, each with unique personalities, stories, and fates…

◆Wooluna Channel

Wooluna, nicknamed Loona, claims to be a versatile VTuber, constantly quoting classical poetry and sounding extremely knowledgeable. Her fans, however, love teasing her with absurd puns. One day, she suddenly stopped streaming without warning. When she returned weeks later, her tone and personality had changed dramatically. A new person-inside, perhaps?

◆President Rowling

Rowling is a popular VTuber known for her witty banter—especially teasing shy young men—making her a fan favorite. After gaining fame, she founded a VTuber agency called Gracelive and successfully promoted several rising talents. She jokes about being a ruthless capitalist but treats her streamers decently. Still… things aren’t always as smooth as they seem.

◆★Keno-chan★

Keno is a mischievous VTuber who loves pulling stunts—whether it’s fake beheadings, splits, walking red carpets, or streaming her naps. Her streams are always full of laughs. But after a certain scandal, she was hit with mass backlash and platform-wide bans on these antics, similar to how massive ASMR content was once abruptly shut down. She lost fans and direction. Will Viona help her find her way again?

◆Senho Takanashi is Invincible

Senho is a bizarre VTuber claiming to be a sorceress from another world. She supposedly slashed through dimensions with a time-blade in a fight with a demon king. Now, the "Crystal" wants to label and protect her, while the "Black Coffin Research Institute" seeks to revive the demon king using her powers. She says she needs her fans’ faith as magic fuel to resist them. Of course, no one believes any of this. They just think her deadpan seriousness is hilarious—maybe a little too deep into the roleplay, or perhaps she’s terminally chuunibyo...

◆Yumi_Official

Yumi was once a singer in the music category with a sizable fanbase before adopting a virtual identity. She’s timid and only feels truly confident when singing. That fear has caused her to miss many opportunities. Though her background is different from the protagonist’s, they share the same goal—becoming a star. Yumi hopes to shine in a talent show. Can she overcome her inner fears?

Developer's Note

This game is inspired by Needy Streamer Overload and VA-11 Hall-A, both of which I personally love. But the gameplay and story here are totally different—for me, pixel aesthetics hitting all the right nostalgia notes. So, the game was orginally based on Chinese VTuber community but now it has been localized and will be refined constantly to make it less exotic and focus on some VTuber common sense.

Game outcomes are based on character attributes (Vocal, Chat, and Skill) and relationships with others. Most events lean toward a humorous tone.

I’m what you’d call a heavy VTuber addict—I subscribed a few hundred channels but of course, for some DD, this isn't worth saying. I’ve been watching since 2019 and even considered starting my own VTuber group. I've witnessed the evolution of the scene: the JP VTuber era, CN VTuber boom, the fall of hardcore RP VTuber, the "everyone’s clowning" trend, the "honry bait" age, the rise of some "beyond-understanding" VTubers, and these year’s drama overload.

For players unfamiliar with VTubers or the VTuber scene, the game includes an explainer notebook filled with definitions of slang and popular memes. Of course, you can turn it off if you prefer.

Please wishlist this game if you're interested, thank you!
