Ryuki Ishii<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Japanese tech company Cover Corporation announced <strong><em>Evil God Korone<\/em><\/strong>, a collaboration project between Inugami Korone, a member of the VTuber group Hololive, and the J-horror game <em>Tsugunohi<\/em>. It is a J-horror game in the style of <em>Tsugunohi<\/em>, developed by the series creator ImCyan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is scheduled to launch for PC (via Steam) on November 8. It will support both English and Japanese. Korone herself will livestream the game on her YouTube channel from 10pm on October 31 JST (6am PDT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u3010Tsugunohi\u00d7Inugami Korone\u3011\u201dEvil God Korone\u201d  Steam PV\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OsKsferCCjU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the title of the game suggests, Korone will appear in the game as an evil goddess. The protagonist is a male student who was living an ordinary life. One day, he comes across a strange sign related to Korone on his way home from school. He mutters something in front of the sign, which triggers a series of nightmare-inducing events. \u201cThe gameplay is just like regular <em>Tsugunohi<\/em>. Every day, you proceed to the left, passing the same place as fear begins to assail you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tsugunohi<\/em> is known for its depiction of horror which slowly invades characters&#8217; daily lives. Since its original release back in 2012, the series gradually gained popularity through let\u2019s plays and livestreaming done by various influencers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"978\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-600x458.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-380x290.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-696x532.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-1068x816.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-550x420.jpg 550w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211025-180166-001-80x60.jpg 80w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first collaboration project for <em>Tsugunohi<\/em>, however. The creator ImCyan has collaborated with Japanese YouTuber Retort, Odaken, and VTuber Kizuna AI, and made a short <em>Tsugunohi<\/em> style game for each individual. Kizuna AI collaboration scenario <em>Ai\u2019s Silent Cries<\/em> is included in the Steam version of <em>Tsugunohi<\/em>. The other two projects are not available to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Evil God Korone<\/em> was created as part of Korone\u2019s birthday project (her birthday is October 1). Korone has a decent record of streaming horror games including <em>Tsugunohi<\/em>, and her collaboration is unique in a sense that Korone appears not as the main character, but as an evil being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is kind of in character, since there\u2019s an inside joke about Korone&#8217;s viewers cutting their finger off as an offering. The cruel joke is that if the viewer watches the livestream until the end, they will get the severed finger back. Hopefully, this aspect of her character will be incorporated into the game as part of the horror experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out the Steam store page of <em>Evil God Korone<\/em> from <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1748610\/Evil_God_Korone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VTuber Inugami Korone\u2019s horror game Evil God Korone announced for Steam.
