Additionally, a 10th game available for demo play is holo Indies’ latest title release, “Hololive Treasure Mountain.”
Currently under development, demo play for this game will be playable at the “B-SIDE” booth, which is an indie game project brand by BeXide Inc. (Booth IP-35)
Gameplay looks similar to Holo Suika Game, a fan game based on the popular watermelon game Suika Game.
One key difference, however, is that in “Hololive Treasure Mountain” the stage is in 3D!
A three-dimensional island surrounded by water, with a shark (Gura!?) swimming around the island waiting to take the fallen heads, or “treasures” of 28 hololive talents.
Stack these “treasures” together on the island and combine matching treasures to make a larger treasure that’s a level higher. But if a treasure falls off into the water, Gura will snatch it away and the game ends!
Here’s a trailer for the game featuring voiceover by Houshou Marine:
holo Indie’s official ambassador, hololive ReGLOSS’ Ichijou Ririka, is also present at BitSummit!
