Kannagi Anna and Four Others Fall Short of Clearing Invokyr, Then Announce a Halloween Party

REACT — Kannagi Anna of ReAcT played the online co-op horror dice game Invokyr with four other talents on Monday, working through the haunted-house boards for about two hours without clearing every stage. The group stopped for the night with its progress saved and a harder, snow-covered board still waiting.

After each of the five introduced themselves, one participant read out the game’s premise: players are trapped in a mansion by a vengeful game master and can leave only by playing a cursed 1970s board game. The game supports up to six players online. Each board sends the group hunting through the house for hidden dice and pieces while the dice they throw decide what kind of trouble comes next.

The boards turned into scrambles for survival. The players split up and got lost, were chased by monsters and by impostor copies of themselves, and passed fire-breathing and teleporting objects between them. Several players dropped to 10 health points and relied on healing dice, which the group rolled together, and on resurrection dice to bring downed teammates back. One board ended one item short of completion, and the group had to restart from an earlier point.

Between boards the players pooled their money in an in-game shop, weighing health upgrades, speed boosts and cosmetic items before deciding to save for a clock that preserves progress. They finished the evening by repairing it, then picked an easier board over a harder snow version and said they would take on the rest another time.

The announcements came at the end. The group said it would hold an off-collab Halloween party stream on Oct. 30 at 8 p.m., with more news to follow. Individual participants also mentioned a concert appearance on Oct. 26, an event in Ginza on Nov. 3 and a Halloween live event in Akihabara on Oct. 31. Anna thanked viewers and said another collab was planned for the day after next.
