[p][/p][p]🌸 Mahjong Soul Chibi Ichihime is coming to Desktop Mate! 🌸[/p][p]Thank you for always using "Desktop Mate"![/p][p]The Desktop Mate Mahjong Soul Chibi Ichihime DLC is now available on Steam as of today, Thursday, August 28, 2025![/p][p][/p][p]🌸 Features of the Desktop Mate Mahjong Soul Chibi Ichihime DLC 🌸[/p]

• [p]Includes original voice lines recorded exclusively for Desktop Mate[/p]
• [p]Beautiful graphics and natural movements using the latest 3D technology[/p]
• [p]The first-ever Mahjong Soul linking feature for Desktop Mate[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h3]A First in the Industry! An Innovative Linking Feature with Mahjong Soul[/h3][p]When you turn on the Mahjong Soul linking function, Chibi Ichihime will react to the Mahjong Soul game (Win Client, Steam version and Web version), watching the screen as if she's a spectator. During a match, she will show a variety of expressive reactions at the following moments.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Main Reactions During a Match[/h3]

• [p]When the player wins (agari): She celebrates with you.[/p]
• [p]When the player deals into another player (furikomi): She feels sad for you.[/p]
• [p]When the player calls (naku): She makes a call declaration and strikes a pose, just like in the game.[/p]
• [p]When the player declares "Riichi": She gets restless, eagerly anticipating a win.[/p]
• [p]When another player declares "Riichi": She gets flustered, anticipating a loss.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Reactions at the End of a Match[/h3]

• [p]When the player wins: She celebrates with you (the intensity of her joy changes depending on your rank).[/p]
• [p]When the player loses: She shares in your sadness (the intensity of her sadness changes depending on your rank).[/p]

[p][/p][p]The linking function can be toggled on or off. When turned off, she will return to acting like a regular Desktop Mate character, so you can still enjoy her in the usual way.[/p][p][/p][h3]Important Notes[/h3]

• [p]The linking function with Mahjong Soul is only compatible with the collaboration character "Mahjong Soul Chibi Ichihime." It will not work with other Desktop Mate characters.[/p]
• [p]Due to production constraints, this feature links by capturing the screen of "Mahjong Soul." For security, we do not save any captured images, and the system is designed not to capture any windows other than the "Mahjong Soul" window.[/p]
• [p]The linking function may not operate correctly depending on your PC's specifications and environment.[/p]
• [p]This function was planned specifically for this collaboration campaign and is not guaranteed to be permanently available. Additionally, updates to Mahjong Soul may temporarily make the linking function unavailable. Please be aware of this before use.[/p]

[p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]We plan to add new characters and update features in the future, so please look forward to our upcoming announcements 🎵 We also welcome your feedback and comments![/p][p]Thank you for your continued support of Desktop Mate! ✨[/p]
