Rumi Clears First Two Games of Stigmatized-Property Horror Series in One Stream

M.ENTERTAINMENT — Rumi, of M.Entertainment’s LanCat, cleared both the first and second games of the horror series Japan Stigmatized Property Monitoring Association (日本事故物件監視協会) in a single stream on Thursday. The last map she cleared was an animal hospital in the second game, and she said afterward that she might really have become able to play horror games.

In the series, the player watches security cameras over a property, compares each room with how it normally looks and reports anything that has changed, until the in-game clock reaches 5 o’clock. Rumi opened the stream by saying she had come close the day before and would play an endurance session this time, continuing until her screaming brought a noise complaint. She said she had never lasted until 5 o’clock before.

“I might really have become able to play horror games.” — Rumi, after clearing the second game

She chose a ryokan, a Japanese inn, as her first location and reached 5 o’clock on it for the first time, which she took as a sign the first game might be within reach. She went on through further locations, one of them with viewers helping her spot changes she had missed. By the time she had worked through the first game she was calling it little more than a spot-the-difference puzzle, and she moved on to the second game, which she and chat both rated as the scarier of the two.

The second game drew louder reactions, and she apologized to her neighbors for the noise. She stepped away briefly before pushing on through a museum map and then the animal hospital, whose story is set at the scene of a killing. After the final clear she said the games startled her more than they frightened her, and that chase-style and first-person horror games, where she moves the character herself, are still hard for her. She said she would leave the third game for later.

Two Super Chats arrived during the stream. Rumi ended it by announcing the next day’s singing stream, in which she planned to sing each time a first-time viewer appeared, and could not sing unless one did.
