Today Lilien Games and WhisperGames have announced a brand new genre of murder mystery, opening for investigation on PC via Steam on January 13, 2026. The Real Face of a VTuber blends courtroom intrigue and digital drama as a murder rocks a VTuber studio, and multiple suspects come forth claiming to be the face behind the same online idol. The VTuber Kuripa was live on air when the crime occurred, so not everyone can be telling the truth.

As the sharp-minded prosecutor Justin Truth, it’s your job to find out who is behind the avatar. Gather evidence, uncover testimony contradictions, challenge alibis, and outthink every witness in tense battles of logic and law.

Features

• A unique murder mystery centred on the VTuber phenomenon
• Realistic courtroom mechanics where you must follow proper procedure
• Nonlinear storytelling: choose who to prosecute and shape how the story and truth unfold
• Multiple endings based on your deductions and strategy
• Optional assists from your clerk for new players; intricate logic for mystery veterans

A World Built by VTubers, for VTuber Fans

Lilien Games collaborated with a range of creators, from the indie teams behind Aeruta, Alice’s World, Word Game, and Minds Beneath Us, to well-known VTuber groups like SpringFish Studio and ReLive Project, plus independent VTuber Nonokuma Bicori. And that’s not all, discover hidden Easter eggs celebrating the VTuber community woven into the game.

A Challenge Few Can Conquer

Don’t let the cute aesthetic fool you; this is a hardcore whodunnit. According to demo statistics, only 1.6% of the players testing the game uncovered the real culprit. Every clue could be your key to victory, or a perfectly crafted trap. Choose your path, decide who to prosecute, and unlock multiple storylines and endings.
