If you don’t solve the mystery, your favorite will die.
Such a death game is actually about to take place.
Of course, this is a fictional story, and no real person dies. However, the death game will be streamed live on YouTube from February 17th. And we can be its viewers.
The name of the death game is ALTÆR CARNIVAL.
Five girls with secrets participate in the game and compete to see how fast they can solve the mystery. It is a death game where the character who is the slowest to solve the mystery dies.
What makes this death game different from other death games is that the viewer can intervene. This is because the person who solves the mystery is not the characters participating in the game, but the viewers watching the broadcast.
Viewers will find their favorite among the five children and work together with other viewers to solve the mystery for that child. In other words, it’s a team battle where the lives of the favorites are at stake.
Therefore, it has not been decided who will be eliminated. What will happen is decided by the characters participating in the game and the viewers.
The video below is a self-introduction video of the five girls participating in the game. At the time of writing, the main story has not yet begun, but the first girl dies as early as February 17th. “ALTÆR CARNIVAL” is such content.
In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of “ALTÆR CARNIVAL,” which is about to open.

The “Project:;COLD” series is a “everyday mystery game” that has been played by more than 150,000 people to date, and its purpose is to solve cases that were supposed to remain unsolved.
In the past, incidents such as the “Blood Doll Resurrection Incident” where a cursed person commits suicide every 13 days, and the “Tragic Pentagram Incident” in which five middle school students stabbed each other with a knife-like object have been reported in real time. It occurred on Twitter (currently known as X) and YouTube.
Players have gathered a variety of information from the Internet, intervened in the story by solving mysteries and considering the case, and successfully solved the case.

In the conventional “Project:;COLD” series, the story is divided into an incident part and a solution part. And “ALTÆR CARNIVAL”, which will be held from February 17th, is probably the content that corresponds to the incident edition.

Mystery solving unfolds on YouTube
“ALTÆR CARNIVAL” consists of three parts: “Section 1”, “Section 2”, and “Execution Part”, and it is in “Section 2” that you can try solving mysteries.
In “Section 2,” a separate distribution slot will be created for each character, and by moving to the distribution of the character you want to cooperate with, you can participate in solving puzzles with the character and other viewers.
You can participate by simply entering your answer in the chat.
A unique system called “RTAS” is used to solve the puzzles, where everything from question to answer is completed on YouTube, and by typing the correct answer into the YouTube chat, it is determined whether the answer is correct or incorrect. The system is such that if even one person answers correctly, they advance to the next stage, so the more viewers there are, the better.
Live commentary screen by GM (CV: Daisuke Hirakawa)
For those who aren’t that good at solving puzzles, there is also a live stream where Death Game’s game master (CV: Daisuke Hirakawa) provides a live commentary of the game, so you can enjoy it like a reality show.
It should be noted that the character who ranks last in this “Section 2” will appear in the “Execution Part” and will literally be executed.
