Ars Almal Is Back on Stream and Plays Through the Story Game Darekare to Its End

NIJISANJI — Ars Almal of Nijisanji went back to streaming with a full playthrough of the narrative game Darekare (ダレカレ, titled “and Roger” in its window), finishing all three chapters in about two hours and 17 minutes. At the start she thanked viewers for their support, apologized for the trouble and said she would do her best again from now on.

She said the game had been recommended to her earlier and that its page warned of heavy content. It opens with fake sign-up screens, including a “not a robot” check and a request to enter her name, before a girl wakes up to find a strange man in her father’s place. The controls were part of the puzzle: Almal ended up holding two toothbrushes at once, struggled to spoon food and wash her hands, and later fumbled a quiz that turned on remembering a vow.

“I’m truly sorry I laughed. She was trying so hard to brush her teeth.” — Ars Almal, after the ending

In the final chapter the game showed that the figures she had taken for different people were one man, Roger, caring for a woman who could no longer recognize him or her surroundings. Almal went quiet through the closing scenes, said her nose would not stop running, and called it a wonderful game. She said she regretted joking about the clumsy controls and that anyone could end up on either side of such a situation.

Chat welcomed her back at the opening, filled with crying emotes as the ending played, and sent 19 Super Chats and Stickers over the stream. Almal closed by asking viewers to send more game recommendations.
