Red Chat Ritual: TSUMIMI TIME Download Status

Short answer: you can't download it yet

As of 2026-10-17, the official Steam page for Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME does not offer a download. Its download panel simply reads "This game is not yet available on Steam" and gives a planned release date of October 22, 2026 — at the time that page was captured, it estimated the unlock at "approximately 4 days" away. The only action the page offers is adding the game to your wishlist so Steam notifies you when it goes live.

So a "TSUMIMI TIME download" search right now leads to a wishlist, not a file. The price-tracking site IsThereAnyDeal also lists the title as Unreleased, with no players on record and no price history entries.

What the release actually is

Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME is a psychological horror adventure from developer Tohakusha Inc., which also publishes it outside Chinese regions; CIRCLE LINE GAMES is listed as publisher for Chinese regions. The premise: over a 15-day cycle you play a viewer in streamer Tsumimi's livestream, spending comments, Mega Chats and gifts to steer events, while investigating by day and piecing clues together by night. Your deductions and choices feed into later scenes and multiple endings.

The store page gives playtime estimates rather than promises: about 4 hours for a first playthrough, and roughly 8–9 hours to see multiple endings. It also warns that reaching other endings may mean replaying scenes shared between routes.

If you played the demo

The Steam page states plainly that save data from the demo cannot be carried over to the full game. Treat the demo as a standalone slice and plan to start fresh on release. As of 2026-10-17, the store page's download area shows the wishlist prompt rather than a demo or purchase button, so it isn't currently a route to a playable build.

Will it run on your machine?

The listed minimum requirements are modest, and the page notes the game doesn't rely on demanding 3D graphics:

A recommended tier is listed on the page but without the component breakdown in the captured view. Steam Deck compatibility is marked "Unknown" on the Steam page as of 2026-10-17, so don't assume it's verified for handheld play.

Languages: interface and subtitles are listed for English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese. No full audio track is listed for any language. The developer recommends headphones for the intended experience.

Before you hit install

The mature-content note describes psychological horror, depictions of violence and blood, and references to self-harm and suicide, with no explicit sexual content. The page says jump scares with loud sounds or sudden screen changes are used sparingly — a detail worth knowing if you're sensitive to them.

If you plan to stream, the team's posted content guidelines allow videos and livestreams including endings, but ask for spoiler labelling and the #TSUMIMITIMESpoilers tag, and they prohibit unedited full playthroughs with no commentary, ripped audio or video assets, and compiling all endings into a substitute for playing.

A caution about third-party "downloads"

Because there is no released build as of 2026-10-17, any site or mirror advertising a working TSUMIMI TIME download before the October 22, 2026 release date is not distributing the real game. If you go looking on launch day, the safest route is the Steam store page linked from the game's official listing; if a download from an unfamiliar site asks you to disable antivirus or run an installer you didn't expect, that's a reasonable point to stop and verify elsewhere.

Staying in the loop

The Steam store page is where the wishlist button, system requirements and release countdown live. The Steam Community hub carries the developer's "Incident Report" teaser posts — #10 (Oct 15) and #11 (Oct 16) follow Tsumimi to an apartment building tied to a self-immolation — along with player threads about localization and quality-of-life feedback from the demo. For price tracking once the store page goes live, IsThereAnyDeal's history page is the community-maintained option.
