While the tone can be jarring at times, a few areas lack polish, and I wish the characters had been given more depth, The Real Face of a VTuber is an intriguing murder mystery that brings fresh ideas to its courtroom gameplay. It’s well worth playing for fans of the genre, and you might even learn a little more about VTubers while you’re at it.

I have mixed thoughts on The Real Face of a VTuber. While I didn’t regret playing, I still got annoyed with parts of it. The narrative is one I found enjoyable for about two-thirds of its length, but I wanted it to end by the last one. I enjoy about half the characters but find the rest forgettable or annoying. The VTuber aspect is very well done, and I can’t help but applaud the devs for it. I also can’t help but feel that the actual murder-mystery part isn’t fully utilized. Still, The Real Face of VTuber isn’t a bad time, and one I can see others enjoying more than I did.

The Real Face of a VTuber is a courtroom visual novel that blends investigative drama with VTuber culture, offering an intriguing murder mystery wrapped in a unique digital setting. As prosecutor Justin Truth, players must interrogate suspects, gather clues, and unravel the identity behind a virtual star. While the game shines with its narrative twists and branching paths, its lack of polish and translation inconsistencies hold it back from its full potential.
