On November 17, 2026, Chill with You: Lo-Fi Story will celebrate its first anniversary.

Since its release, the development team has continued to release various updates, including seasonal events, improvements to productivity tools, and new outfits for Satone. On November 17, to mark the game's first anniversary, we will release the Version 2.0 update, which will add a substantial amount of new main story content depicting what happens next for Satone and the player.

It is thanks entirely to all of you who have continued to support us that we are able to celebrate this first anniversary in such a big way.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone.

To celebrate this milestone together with all of you, we have decided to hold the Chill with You: Lo-Fi Story 1st Anniversary Illustration Contest.

As with the previous contest, you can enter by posting your work on one of the designated social media platforms during the submission period and submitting your entry through the dedicated application form.

This time, to make the contest even more enjoyable for everyone, we will be presenting awards in three categories: the Grand Prize, Artist Award, and Player Voting Award. In addition, we plan to implement elements inspired by the winning works in the game.

We look forward to receiving your entries!

The theme of the illustration contest is “Satone and Stories.”
We look forward to seeing your creations that tell a story, whether they’re novel cover-style illustrations, comics, videos, dioramas, or story-inspired single artworks!

October 12 – November 30, 2026 (until 11:59 PM JST)

Voting Begins: Scheduled for December 2026

Scheduled for January–February 2027

Through judging by Nestopi, one work will be selected for the "Grand Prize," and one or more works will be selected for the "Artist Award." In addition, submitted illustrations will be made public, and one work will be selected for the "Player Voting Award" through public voting.

Grand Prize 　

The Grand Prize winner will be selected based on recommendations from the development team and scenario writer Maki Ono. A special story inspired by the winning work will be written by Maki Ono and implemented in the game.

Artist Award 　

One or more works will be selected for the "Artist Award" through judging by the artists of Chill with You: Lo-Fi Story. Elements inspired by the winning illustrations, such as outfits, accessories, hairstyles, scenery, and character movements, may be implemented in the game. For this contest, at least one outfit will be implemented based on the Artist Award-winning works.

Player Voting Award 　

After the submitted works are made public, a voting page will be opened. The work that receives the most votes from players, excluding works that have won other awards, will be selected for the "Player Voting Award."
Elements inspired by the winning illustration, such as outfits, accessories, and scenery, will be implemented in the game.
If it is difficult to implement items that closely resemble those depicted in the winning illustration, we may instead create and implement original elements inspired by the artwork.
The announcement dates for each award and details regarding their implementation schedules will be announced at a later date.
