Nestopi announced on September 9, 2026, the next entry in its work-focused adventure series, 'Chill with You: SHIOI's Sparkling Scenes,' and opened the Steam store page. The game follows the previous title 'Chill with You: Lo-Fi Story,' which has sold 450,000 copies, but tells a completely independent story. The new heroine, Shioi, is a bright, fashionable gyaru who is popular in class but tends to slack off when alone, often suggesting skipping study for cafe hopping. The player works alongside Shioi as she studies toward her dreams. This entry introduces real-time linkage: Shioi's location and time of day change in sync with the player's actual call time, shifting from a school classroom to an after-school library or her room at night, with the possibility of unexpected connection scenes. The game retains the previous title's tools, including a Pomodoro timer, to-do lists, and customizable lo-fi music and ambient sounds. The emotional distance between player and Shioi narrows as they accumulate work time together. The game is scheduled for release in 2026 on Steam for Windows and Mac, with the price undecided. A sale for the previous game runs from September 10, offering 25% off on Steam and 20% off on smartphone versions.
