Doppio Dropscythe Plans A-to-Z Trick-or-Treat Game for Poco Pio’s Sunday Outfit Reveal

After finishing the third episode of a horror-mystery game, the streamer moved to a second room to build the event live, with 26 lettered houses.

Doppio Dropscythe of Nijisanji EN closed out the third episode of the mystery game Urban Myth Dissolution Center (都市伝説解体センター) on Wednesday, then spent the rest of a nearly three-hour broadcast building a trick-or-treat game for the outfit reveal of Poco Pio, due Sunday.

The episode followed a mystery tour of Ueno in Tokyo tied to a murder seven years earlier. After a gas-filled tunnel and a locked station, the tour’s organizer turned out to be the victim’s sister, who had planned to hunt down the killer. Doppio called the ending anticlimactic. The streamer started the fourth episode briefly, then stopped, saying a voice that gave out after a long session the day before had limited the evening’s play. Doppio then opened a second room and raided into it for a work-and-chat stream.

“If I could give you guys snacks, I would. But there’s just no possible way that I can actually share food with you guys.” — Doppio Dropscythe, as chat asked for a Mentos

There, Doppio explained the game. Poco Pio goes trick-or-treating at 26 houses, A through Z, and chatters pick the house that matches the first letter of their name. Each house gets two minutes of requests, and Super Chats extend the time. Doppio said a final party at an arcade would catch anyone who missed their turn. On stream, Doppio assembled a house graphic and gave each letter its own color, then wrote an on-screen explainer and asked chat whether it read clearly. A mock-up of the outfit reveal stayed off screen to protect the surprise. Along the way Doppio ate Mentos, which drew requests to share. Doppio said sharing food through the screen was impossible, and chat answered with imaginary birthday cake. Three Super Chats arrived, one of them offering everyone a slice. Doppio also said a recent draft mix of one of the recordings had moved them to tears and that it would be some months before listeners could hear it.

Raids came in from other streamers, and Doppio chatted with one of them about The Legend of Zelda before returning to the edit. Closing out, Doppio listed the coming week: an XSOLEIL collab at 11 a.m. JST on Thursday, a studio recording on Friday, a possible League of Legends stream Friday night, and the outfit reveal on Sunday. Doppio then read out a long list of chatters’ names to say good night and raided another streamer.
