Talk about another game with highly inappropriate contents that will be coming to Switch this year, it originally came out on Steam early this year and is one game that has become so popular due to the unique gameplay concept centering on a character who does live streaming professionally for a living. People tend to bring up Virtual YouTuber stuff when it comes to this game by WSS Playground as the fictional live streamer is already akin to a Virtual YouTuber who does live streaming as a default norm. That method of content creation as a Virtual YouTuber has been the default method even in the present time thanks to Tsukino Mito of Nijisanji. Unlike the other Virtual YouTubers of the time who started off with a 3D model and videos that don't last as long as a live stream video which is hours long, she started off with a 2D model and things are more technically limited that way but as technically limited a Live2D model is as opposed to a 3D model controlled with VR technology, enabling a person voicing that character to move around, it is said to be less expensive.
The fictional character from the game is trying to qualify as a Virtual YouTuber-type according to WSS Playground's Youtube channel where you can find some streams that de-fictionalize some things from the game. You're still watching as a viewer, not a producer, mind you, and the way the flow works is different than the one in-game. The streams are LONG and you can take a look at the video comments as long as they are archives. Unlike the game, my guess is that they must be typing in something as part of the scripts in real time and then broadcast it to make things look like the character's saying what they type, voiceless and subtitles only just like in the game. If that guess is correct, there's a chance that the Super-Chat comments will be responded to in the same way the fictional character responds in the game. The one managing the channel must be doing the moderation work just like how the producer in the game does during live streams in real time. I wonder what the gaming stream is like from that real channel although the idea is more manageable if that character is a real Virtual YouTuber in the first place. There are even real life Twitter accounts from the game characters, one is Ame, and the other is her streaming persona. The former is completely private but the latter is accessible to the public.
A serious warning is that the game has a lot of dark and highly inappropriate themes/scenes. Just like DDLC, there is a warning message from the game telling you of such things. Certain actions and topics are already inappropriate and may turn people off. So, if you're turned off by those things, then why do you want to buy this game in the first place? The actions will determine whichever game ending you'll get and needless to say, there's no such thing as the desired outcome from all the endings you can get. The game's message has something about the modern internet culture, mentality and a couple of upsides and downsides for the ambition as a professional streamer or content creator.
The upcoming Switch version will have additional content and said content will be on the Steam version as the update. If you want a more appropriate alternative about a character making contents professionally, there's YouTubers' Life 2 where the way the character makes content is different than a streamer does although the Let's Play videos can be closely comparable to the gaming streams. Another interesting thing is that the theme song is playable in some rhythm games. Just be warned of inappropriate references from the source game itself.
