I'm disappointed he couldn't think of a way in which her breasts helped her play the game.

Not sure if the one behind Jitome-chan is Cheer-chan or anyone else.

It's just a blaster game. Who could get scared of these?

She must be really weak to horror stuff.

The anger veins indicate it's at least partial excitement/anger. She got a perfect clear and high score, so she was hardly too terrified to play well. (Too terrified NOT to play well, perhaps.) I think the top imagine spot is what the guy was hoping the ending would be like, but she won the game while he used up all his lives.

I like to think that is the real Sado-chan who somehow got sucked into the game for some reason. Considering her gamer collection maybe she can portal her way through electronics.

In Tawawa VIII+α, she almost fainted when she saw Sada-chan.

Onii-san was so busy daydreaming about his Save the Girl fantasy that he got distracted and eaten by zombies, while Ai-chan's terror and adrenaline-fueled reflexes kept her riveted on playing the game.

I'll buy that. Perhaps she can only go through a television screen in the presence of someone who's watched the cursed video, but she can appear in any screen.

It's actually in Tawawa VIII+α, but yeah. It's the omake/extra series that gets added to the compilation books. In that one it has the various main girls all talking to each other about their respective romances (except for Kouhai-chan, who seems oblivious to her own circumstances), and there's a brief spot where Sada-chan shows up to be interviewed by the others. Ai-chan pretty much faints immediately (full white eyes and foaming mouth) when she sees the ghost.

Looks to me like Ai-chan just panicked the instant the game started and shot everything on screen until it ended. One of those "terror unlocks her true potential" sort of things.

And I just spent 20 minutes tracking down a version of VII + α, to try to find it too...

Just wondering, is there any indication of that game being HotD? I mean I know the name is a parody, but the visual doesn't look familiar to me.

I don't see Ai-chan's Sister or Kouhai-chan in the image despite them being tagged. Can anyone point them out to me?

There are several HotD games, and they usually look quite different in visuals. Tawawa of the Dead might just be intended to represent a generic parody of HotD in particular or zombie shooters in general.

underline mine, italics theirs

Can concur-ish. The last time I played HotD (2, it's the only HotD I have personally played that involved urban shooting) was over six or seven years ago at least, and I don't remember seeing it was night. I can say it's not specifically after HotD1 (that one's inside a mansion, plus you don't see the sun set) or HotD3 (you're inside a post-apo lab compound/building for much of the day, only leaving the building in the night after the final boss). I know a 4 existed, but it's been even longer since I last watched a playthrough off YouTube (legit arcades weren't a common thing in suburb Indonesia, I don't own any PS, I quite literally only know a PC port (regardless of sanction) exists as I type the original comment, and I can swear I played some more 2/3 after I lost track of those videos) I can't say anthing about it.

Well, I presume you found it eventually, but just so anyone else who wants to see the bit can:

Not Tawawa? Sounds like a missed opportunity.

Kouhai-chan is in the right side just behind Sada-chan, and Ai-chan's sister in the left, most part of her face has been covered by the gun fire.

Say, you know what this makes me want to see? Strips within this series that peek beyond the barrier separating this world from another, more fantastic (though not necessarily fantasy genre-style) setting, where the resident faceless male protagonist's Tawawa girl counterpart is a hot female zombie with big boobs that is smarter and more self-aware than the average zombie... and craves something other than human flesh. Something that's more... fluid. And pale-colored. And which she can only acquire from the aforementioned man, because for some reason every other male disgusts her to no end on an instinctual level.

Himura Dairy Industry is the name of the artist's doujin circle, and has been around since Fate/Stay Night--one of his early hits is "Sword Dancers" which depicts a grown-up Illya as an Archer-class servant.
