VIRTUAL ENCORE is a visual novel about a VTuber manager supporting her talent through the six days before her first solo concert, combining the pressure of preparing for a major live performance with a mystery surrounding the people behind the virtual identities.
VIRTUAL ENCORE follows Wakaba Kusunoki, a manager at a VTuber agency, as she dedicates herself to supporting her talent, Erika Tsukimiya, ahead of Erika's first solo live performance. Despite streaming troubles, low concurrent viewership, and Erika's seemingly casual remarks, Wakaba remains determined to make the concert a success. A 15-second support advertisement appears on a street screen in Shibuya with the message, “My song transcends dimensions,” setting the stage for a story that goes beyond an ordinary concert preparation.
The game presents a text-adventure structure in which players progress through the story and make choices that can cause the narrative to branch. The story centers on the relationship between Wakaba and Erika, while also exploring the distinction between the VTuber persona Erika Tsukimiya and her real identity, Mirei Kisaragi.
