Virtual Ties Idol Producer Game Launches Today on Multiple Platforms
Virtual Ties ～ヰ世界情緒夢想曲～, a raising simulation adventure game, has officially launched today, March 19, 2026. Developed by Entergram and THINKR, the game features KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO artist ヰ世界情緒 (Isekai Jōcho) as both the main voice actress and planning concept creator. Players take on the role of a producer guiding their childhood friend, Mizuse Hoshimi, to become the virtual idol ヰ世界情緒. The game is now available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms, with a special 12% discount campaign running on the PC version.
Virtual Ties represents a unique collaboration between game developers and virtual talent. ヰ世界情緒, who debuted in December 2019 under the creative label KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO, has contributed significantly to the project beyond just voice acting. The game’s premise centers on the production journey of transforming an ordinary childhood friend into a successful virtual idol. This marks an expansion of ヰ世界情緒’s creative portfolio, which already includes singing, illustration, narration, and voice acting across various media projects.
To commemorate the release, developers have organized multiple promotional activities. A countdown movie was released at noon on launch day, featuring a celebratory message from the character Mizuse Hoshimi. Additionally, a commemorative stream is scheduled for 8:00 PM on March 19 through the official channel. Looking ahead, a special live event titled “Side Sketch” will be held on April 4, offering free streaming access to all viewers. Special edition purchasers will receive additional benefits including archive viewing rights and access to an after-talk session.
The game includes specific guidelines for content creators regarding streaming permissions. The main story can be streamed up to the “Third Year, August” raising section, though this section is only reachable through certain scenario routes. For routes that conclude before reaching this point, the entire ending sequence can be shared. The developers have stated that streaming restrictions do not apply to the game’s trial version, encouraging content creators to help spread awareness of the title. With its unique premise combining virtual idol culture with raising simulation mechanics, Virtual Ties offers a distinctive experience for fans of both genres.
