Raising a Youtuber

📺 Raising a Youtuber | A Life-Reversal Simulation Targeting the Diamond Button

Following your father's business failure, you suddenly find yourself sitting on a $5 Million debt. Starring at the red seizure tags plastered all over your house, the lamenting vlog you uploaded goes viral overnight, hitting 1 million views.

Scouted by Korea's top MCN 'Star E&M', you must now become a Diamond Creator with 10 million subscribers to save your family. But the path is far from smooth. Can you survive among the flashy and eccentric senior YouTubers?

🎭 The Cast

Cha Woobin — The Living Legend with 10M Subs

• A top-tier star holding a Gold Button. He possesses looks that rival celebrities and an arrogance to match. He looks down on you saying, "Watch closely, rookie," but beneath that cold exterior lies an unfulfilled loneliness. If you show professionalism and confidence, you might just see his sincere side.

Lee Dohyun — The Warm Intellectual with 500K Subs

• A gentle young man running a science/knowledge channel. He always starts sentences with "Looking at the data..." or "Statistically speaking...", but his logical tone is filled with genuine care. He's the first to reach out when you're tired and struggling. He appreciates intellectual conversation and diligence.

Jenny — The Trendy Rival with 100K Subs

• A Gen-Z sentimental YouTuber covering dance and fashion. She throws thorny remarks like, "Unnie, that's not it~" and never stops checking your growth. However, as a fellow woman, she ironically offers help at critical moments. Show off some sensible fashion, and you might get her recognition.

CEO Kang — The Cold Head of Star E&M

• The avatar of business who only speaks of "Revenue," "Contracts," and "Schedules." He views you strictly as a money-making tool, yet he is also someone who believes in your growth potential and invests unsparingly.

🎮 Your Choices Change the Future

Every turn, choose actions like content creation, SNS communication, rest, or meetings. Your choices change your Charm, Clout, Mental, and Fan Loyalty, and these numbers determine the story's direction.

If Mental hits rock bottom, it's Game Over via Burnout. If Clout rises, opportunities to collab with top star Cha Woobin open up, and reaching specific affinity levels triggers 'Romance' events with YouTubers. Upon reaching 1 million subscribers, a touching letter arrives from your family.

Riding the waves of the algorithm, overcoming haters, sometimes competing and sometimes loving — can you get your hands on that Diamond Button?
