Yuragi Yura, Wary of Horror, Reaches True Ending of Short Laundromat Game
After a first run ended in the normal ending, the streamer went back for the coins the title screen hinted at and finished with the true ending.
MILLIONPRODUCTION — Yuragi Yura, a virtual streamer with the agency MillionProduction who is known for avoiding horror games, played a short horror game set in a haunted laundromat on Monday and reached its true ending in a little over 40 minutes. The stream was run in 3D.
The streamer said the stream had not been planned for the day. Having talked through most topics lately, they asked ChatGPT for a game that could be finished in about an hour, and every suggestion was a horror title. They said it had been a long time since they last played one, and that the game, billed as a roughly 30-minute experience, seemed manageable. Over the opening talk they described themselves as among the agency’s three worst with horror.
“That was scary, but it was a horror game even Yuragi could just about manage.” — Yuragi Yura, after reaching the true ending
In the game, the player returns to the laundromat day after day to do laundry, and things grow stranger each time. The first run ended around the 27-minute mark when the laundromat’s door would not open and hands held the machine’s lid shut, which brought up a normal ending. The title screen then hinted that four coins could change the outcome, and the streamer went back through the days, hunting for the coins. They said that even knowing what was coming, the scares still worked on them.
On the second run the coins went into the machine on their own, the hands let go of the lid and the streamer made a run for the door, reaching the true ending at about the 40-minute mark. Their throat gave out from the screaming, and they said afterward that this was a level of fear they could handle.
Chat answered the ending with applause and congratulations. The streamer then read out Super Chats by name, still in 3D, and viewers asked for more horror. The streamer said Monday streams would center on making the week’s thumbnails, that a short game beforehand might become a regular feature, and that it would not necessarily be horror.
