Shikinagi Akira Clears Death Game Report on a First Playthrough and Files Both Endings

NIJISANJI — Shikinagi Akira, a Nijisanji streamer in the VOLTACTION group, played the deduction game Death Game Report (デスゲームの報告書) from start to finish on Tuesday. It was a first playthrough, finished in about three hours, and the streamer saw both of the game’s endings before closing a 196-minute broadcast.

The game puts the player in the role of an inspector reading terminal records of a death game that has already ended, in a third-year high school class of 40 students. For each death the player has to settle the cause, the weapon and the perpetrator. Shikinagi worked through the records by matching passages to attendance numbers, the order of deaths and squares on the island map, talking through each deduction aloud. The early entries drew laughs, including one student whose issued weapon was a ladle.

“It was fun, and it was also a very painful game.” — Shikinagi Akira, after finishing the game

Near the three-hour mark one entry refused to fit, and Shikinagi spent a long stretch rereading earlier records before the last piece came together. The streamer then submitted one report, read the additional documents the game opened up, and went back to file a second, different one. Before starting, Shikinagi had asked viewers not to post story details in chat, and said it was a true first playthrough.

Afterward Shikinagi said the final puzzle was very hard, that the story turned serious in its second half after a lighter opening, and that the game was worth playing for oneself or by handing it to a friend and watching their first reactions. Chat applauded at the clear, and viewers sent 28 Super Chats and Stickers, whose senders Shikinagi thanked by name at the close.

Shikinagi also said a variety video marking the channel’s 500,000 subscribers would be released the next day, and asked viewers to watch it.
