More details
GematsuThe game centers around an unscripted event called “Dream of Dreams,” set within a desolate old mansion, where a center idol is to be decided from the members of a popular idol group called “Project 47,” including the year’s low ranking members. Within Project 47 are units, such as “Team Happy” and “Team Smile,” and in total the group has over 200 members. The player will choose to play as one idol from those appearing, and the story will change accordingly.
There are exploration, judging, and “Death Concert” elements. During exploration, you’ll look for items throughout each stage as well as exchange information with idols. And it seems that it’s important to both raise your own spirits while lowering those of your opponents. During judging parts, you’ll be judged on your dancing and performance. And during “Death Concerts,” the idols that didn’t make it through to the final judging are killed. However, it seems that by clearing the trials of Doripaku (voiced by Kappi Yamaguchi), a costumed character with pink hair who leads the event (and while cruel supposedly values human life), the defeated can somehow be revived.
The magazine introduces some of the game’s appearing idols, including:
Development on the game is currently 69 percent complete (hehe). It features illustrations by Metawo Ueda, script and supervision by Shoujiro Endo, and is produced by Yujiro Usuda.

“Dream of Dreams,” or D.O.D. for short—a competition to determine the center for popular idol group Project 47.
But the big event this year was shrouded in unusual circumstances. It is an obscure and unscripted event with mysterious selection standards where even low ranking members are included in the popularity ranking.
With everything in question, the live television broadcast began.
What fate awaits these idols filled with anticipation and anxiety…!?
Players can choose to play as one of the idols that appear in the game, and enjoy the story from their point of view. When deciding which character to play as, the mascot-esque Doripaku will explain the judging details. After that, the life-or-death battle for center position will begin. The characters that survive will change based on the player’s actions, so Idol Death Game TV will be playable many times over.
