Nekota Tsuna and Four VSpo Teammates Hunt Treasure in R.E.P.O. for Halloween Event

VSPO — Nekota Tsuna, Kurumi Noah, Tosaki Mimi, Yakumo Beni and Amayui Moka played R.E.P.O. together on Saturday as “Team B” in VSpo’s Halloween event, running about 90 minutes. Four of the five streamed it from their own channels. In the game, players haul valuables to a goal, shop for upgrades between rounds and try to survive the monsters.

The session opened with introductions. Noah said she was nearly a first-timer, Beni said she was extremely good at the game and then immediately took it back, and Tsuna admitted she had been muted until then. Moka said she had assumed the event was a head-to-head match. Participants noted that a large update had landed only recently and that a Japanese-language version had arrived with it, and one joked that new monsters had probably been added too.

“New map, come on. Please.” — Nekota Tsuna, before the final run

Trouble came early. A shotgun-wielding monster, which the group called “Shotgun Man,” picked off players who kept talking, and a swollen, blood-sucking creature drew warnings that it drained health. A revived player was cut down again almost at once, prompting complaints of spawn-camping, and a kart race that started after the wipe left the group saying the first-person view was dizzying.

The best-remembered stretch came near the half-hour mark. Beni followed a dog the group called Elsa and was killed by a monster the others called Mordecai Kaiser, which they described as being baited. The dog later swelled up with muscle and caught others, and a participant guessed it turned hostile when players did not pet it. Chat kept pace with jokes about the “dog-lover mode” payoff. Later gacha pulls gave the players costume pieces, including a denim-style skirt and a necktie, then a hat that a participant called a jackpot.

The group finished in time for the next stream in the event, a tabletop RPG, and each streamer closed in her own words. Tsuna said she had wanted the new map, which never came up, but had enjoyed returning to the game, and said she would join a bluffing party game at 18:20. Moka said she had a solo challenge that night, Beni said she would play L4D2 at 18:00, and Noah thanked viewers and said she would close the singing lineup again.
