The Real Face of a VTuber Launches January 13 on PC Steam

Can you see the truth behind the avatar?

Lilien Games and WhisperGames are excited to announce a brand new genre of murder mystery, opening for investigation on Steam PC 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

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.
