posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The official Twitter account for the NIJISANJI VTuber project announced an upcoming horror project on August 25. The post includes the message "“In the midst of casual everyday life, you suddenly notice a sense of incongruity. It may be the entrance to the extraordinary. The Summer of Nijisanji isn't over yet.” The 40-second clip shows 3DCG footage of a school setting followed by an eerie hallway.
