■What is “Katashiro”?
A one-on-one “interactive” scenario written for TRPG.
By inviting famous streamers and others as players one after another, their thoughts and decisions reveal their “personality” and “charm,” making them extremely popular.
Coupled with the ease of playing the game, which can be played in about an hour, many people in addition to the author shared their gameplay, and it quickly became a movement in the TRPG world. A variety of people are playing, including game commentators, VTubers, streamers, voice actors, comedians, scenario writers, psychiatrists, and more.
The title of the movie version, “Katashiro Replica,” has the meaning of “a replica of the real thing” being “repeated” as a movie. Unlike the streaming and stage version, this work is planned to be a work where you can enjoy the attention to sound that can only be experienced at a movie theater, the fun of going to the movie theater and watching it in the same place, and the excitement of performers you have never seen before.
Comment from Dism, author of “Katashiro”: Please support this unique movie in which the main actors do not have a script.
