An impressive number of remarkably good fan games have come from the vtuber enthusiasts in the Hololive community, with an unbelievably sharp fighting game cropping up just this month. We can now add the free JRPG Hololive CouncilRys RPG to the list. Since its release on Itch.io, it's been picked up by several of the vtubers it's about, who've already racked up hundreds of thousands of views streaming it to their fans.
If you're wondering – as I was at one point – the name refers to the Council generation of Hololive streamers who star in the game: Fauna, Bae, Kronii, and Mumei. There's also Irys, a standalone talent who focuses on music. All five characters have cute little sprites and portraits for combat, exploration, and cutscenes. This is a full-fat JRPG, and a mercifully short one at roughly three hours.
