The desktop-resident room customization game, developed by Ninth Games and announced by CCMC Corp., lets players spend time with Tokino Sora in two rooms, Sora's Room and Green Garden Room. The demo includes a calendar, alarm, Pomodoro timer, three hololive songs, three ambient sounds, and the Blackjack minigame. The full version, scheduled for release within 2026, will feature five talents: Tokino Sora, Usada Pekora, Shiranui Flare, Shirogane Noel, and Houshou Marine, shown in pixel art. A release date of November 13 appears in an earlier schedule, but the current product information lists the launch as within 2026 with price undecided. The demo supports Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, and Indonesian.","whyItMatters":"The demo narrows the playable cast to Tokino Sora while the full version expands to five members, giving hololive a test of whether a single-talent desktop companion can carry interest before the wider roster arrives.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe demo and the full release sit on different dates.
