Five Hololive Talents Team Up for R.E.P.O.’s Halloween Update, Stacking Loot for Bonus Pay

HOLOLIVE — Tsunomaki Watame, Natsuiro Matsuri, Shiranui Flare, Otonose Kanade and Mizumiya Su played R.E.P.O. together on Tuesday night, working through the game’s Halloween update in a session of more than three hours. Each streamed from their own channel under the #ホロREPO tag, and the session ended with the group calling out “Otsu Holo REPO” in unison, a sign-off roughly meaning “good work, Holo REPO.”

The event’s centerpiece was a bonus at the drop-off points: items stacked above a yellow beam earned extra money, but only when two or more were left standing on one another, not carried or held. The group gave up its first attempt with only round items on hand, then built towers from pots, plates, a guitar and a painting. By the third hour, several of them were wondering aloud whether ignoring the bonus paid better, since fussing over height kept breaking things.

“R.E.P.O. is fun. There are still maps we haven’t seen, so I really want to play them.” — Tsunomaki Watame, closing the stream

The update added a large new area to each map, and the group found one about half an hour in. There they met a new enemy that cycled through green, yellow and red lights. Anyone it caught moving under the red light was grabbed, and the party worked out that turning the camera, moving the mouse and speaking all counted as moving. Members of the group went down one after another. Elsewhere, a rope-and-whip weapon on sale in the shop hit teammates as well as enemies, and one participant used it to tie up and kill an enemy.

Shortly after the three-hour mark a new horse-like enemy arrived. It attacked with a long tongue and could cling to walls and ceilings, and the group traded warnings about it. Parts of the update never came up, including the new map.

Chat answered the wipeout with laughter and comments such as “Not your lucky day today, lol,” and finished with “It was fun!” and “Otsu Holo REPO” messages. Closing the stream on her own channel, Watame said she wants to visit the maps the group missed and hopes to play again with Hajime next time. She also said she will appear on a radio program, news announced that day, and said she would talk about it in later chat streams. She added that her week was busy and she planned to skip streaming on the 11th.
