How to Play the Day-Night LoopEarn money by day, spend it on Mega Chats at night, and close each chapter with a deduction — a practical guide to Red Chat Ritual's demo loop.What is Red Chat Ritual?
Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME is an adventure game developed and published by Tohakusha. You intervene in an idol's livestream as a viewer, investigate clues on and off stream, and uncover the truth behind her missing partner. The build is a day-and-night cycle: by day you gather information and money, and at night you watch Tsumimi's stream and intervene through comments, Mega Chats and gifts. Your deductions go into an investigation file, and the game says they shape later events and the ending.
This wiki is written for people deciding whether to play and for demo players who want the mechanics explained in one place. Each page separates what the Steam page and published coverage state from what demo players report, and marks fan theories as theories. Where the sources disagree, for example on how long a run takes, both figures are given with their source rather than averaged into one number.
Nothing here is official. Details such as the exact unit name for Mashiro and Tsumimi's idol group appear differently across sources, so where that happens we say so rather than picking one silently. Anything that changes after the October 22, 2026 launch, including price, will be updated from the store listing when the page switches from an unreleased listing to a purchase page.

Explore Red Chat Ritual Guides
Eight ways into the wiki, from the basics to the parts you read once the loop clicks. Each block links to one page: the beginner guide first, then mechanics, characters, story, then release and community status.
Red Chat Ritual Beginner Guide
The shortest path into the demo: how the morning, afternoon and night slots divide your time, what to spend money on and why the investigation file matters more than a perfect route.
Red Chat Ritual How to Play
The loop explained as a rhythm rather than a walkthrough: earn by day, spend at night, prove at the end of the chapter that you understood the stream. Includes the reason some messages end a run.
Red Chat Ritual Walkthrough
What there is to walk through right now is one demo chapter, roughly six in-game days. This page sets out the order of operations for that slice and what each keyword in the file is for.
Red Chat Ritual Endings
The game promises multiple endings without naming them. This page explains the levers the coverage does name, how a deduction loop leads to a final choice, and why no ending list exists yet.
Red Chat Ritual Characters
A demo-level cast list: Mashiro, the missing idol; Tsumimi, her partner who streams alone; and you, the fan paying to be heard. Kept small deliberately, with notes on what the profiles say.
Red Chat Ritual Lore
The story material as it stands: a disappearance, a 15-day stream, a rebirth ritual the store page does not explain, and a village with a dark history. Where the facts end and the fan theories start is marked clearly.
Red Chat Ritual TSUMIMI TIME Demo
What the demo actually contains, how far it runs, and what will not carry over. If you are deciding whether to play the free slice before launch, this is the page to read first.
Red Chat Ritual Release Date
The Steam listing gives October 22, 2026 and says the game is not yet available. This page collects what is confirmed for launch, what the page leaves open, and the non-date facts worth knowing.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME come out?
The Steam page lists October 22, 2026 as the planned release date, as of 2026-10-17. On that date the page also said the game was not yet available and gave no time of day for the unlock, so treat the date as the listing's statement rather than a confirmed launch schedule.
Is Red Chat Ritual a free game?
No. It is a commercial Steam release from Tohakusha, and as of 2026-10-17 the store page shows no price and no free-to-play label while the game is listed as unreleased. The free way to try it has been the demo, which is a separate build, not the full game.
How long does Red Chat Ritual take to finish?
Published estimates do not agree. The Steam page gives roughly 4 hours for a first playthrough and 8 to 9 hours for multiple endings; a May 2026 launch article gives about 3 hours per run and 4 to 5 hours total including multiple endings. Both are planning estimates made before launch, so treat them as a range.
What do you actually do in Red Chat Ritual?
You intervene in an idol's livestream as a viewer. By day you investigate and gather money and clues; at night you watch Tsumimi stream and spend comments, Mega Chats and gifts to push her toward the truth about her missing partner Mashiro. Clues go into an investigation file, and the game says your deductions shape later events and the ending.
Do demo saves carry over to the full Red Chat Ritual game?
The Steam page states plainly that save data from the demo cannot be carried over to the full game. Plan to start fresh on release and treat the demo as a standalone slice of chapter one rather than a head start.
Read the guide before your first stream
The demo punishes a careless message more than an unspent budget. The beginner guide walks the day-and-night split in the order you meet it, so you know what a shift costs and when silence is safer.
