Today (September 9), Nestopi officially revealed the Steam store page for their new Lo-Fi Focus Companion Game, Chill with You : SHIOI’s Sparkling Scenes (Chinese title TBD).
In this Lo-Fi Focus Companion Game, you will work alongside Shioi, an emotionally expressive girl, to improve your concentration while handling daily tasks.
Players can freely mix music and ambient sounds to create their ideal work environment. Set a Pomodoro timer and start working, and Shioi will match your pace to study. As you continue to study and work together, perhaps one day you and Shioi will connect on a deeper level...?
This title is part of the same series as Relax Time: Sharing Lo-Fi Stories With You, which sold 450,000 copies. The story is completely independent, so you can enjoy it without playing the previous game.
■"Hey, let's skip studying and go to a cafe?"
Although Shioi says she wants to study, she can't help but slack off when alone. To help her study hard toward her dreams, you will join her in hitting the books. The time spent with Shioi will also serve as an opportunity for players to start studying or working.
The school where you can hear distant chatter, the library bathed in sunset after school, your room at night... Depending on the call duration, Shioi's location will change. As you spend more time together, you might even receive calls in unexpected situations.
■Lo-Fi Music and Ambient Sounds to Help Improve Focus, Plus Practical Productivity Tools
The app features original Lo-fi music, a rich variety of ambient sounds, and practical tools to boost productivity.
You can play music that matches your mood for the day and enjoy peaceful, relaxing moments with Shioi.
You can also play ambient sounds or music to help improve focus, and use productivity tools like to-do lists to fully immerse yourself in studying or working. You are free to create an environment that suits you and Shioi as you spend time together.
■Weave a Story of Trust Through Shared Time
Shioi is cheerful and stylish, always the center of attention in class. She might rely on you when studying, but she's much better than you at closing the distance between people.
During breaks, she might suddenly say something unexpected or move closer to you without warning... Something unforeseen might happen. As the "precious moments" you accumulate together increase, perhaps your relationship will subtly change without you even noticing.
The latest news about this title will be announced on the official X account, Steam Community, and app store pages. Please follow the official accounts for updates.
