This thread serves as a space for open discussion, where we would greatly appreciate your honest feedback and suggestions
to help guide the development of this feature.

The highly anticipated new DLC, "Mahjong Soul - Chibi Ichihime," is coming to the popular desktop mascot app, Desktop Mate!
Look forward to its release on Steam this summer (2025).



Chibi Ichihime is a super-deformed (chibi) version of Ichihime, the beloved mascot character from the online mahjong game "Mahjong Soul."
Complete with her signature cat ears and her adorable "nya" speech quirk, she'll brighten up your desktop in the cutest way.



This DLC also introduces the first-ever app-linking feature in Desktop Mate!
Chibi Ichihime will react to your Mahjong Soul matches—cheering when you declare Riichi and celebrating your wins, offering an immersive new experience like she's playing right alongside you.
※The app-linked feature is only available with the collaboration character "Chibi Ichihime."



This collaboration between Mahjong Soul and Desktop Mate is sure to make your mahjong life even more fun!
Stay tuned for more updates!
