The project’s official website describes the project’s story:
This is a world where the magical world of “Holocas World” exists, created when the light of people’s hearts, “Holo,” is gathered through the “Holocas” streaming app. The main characters are usually active as “Holocas” streamers.The “Yumeochi” phenomenon occurs when people who are anxious or stressed in their daily lives and have lost their positive attitude are sucked into the “Holocas World” with their souls. And The monster “Collapser” is created by “Yumeochi.” The main characters transform into magical girls called “Holowitches” and spend their days fighting to defeat “Collapser” and save those who have been sucked into “Yumeochi.”What is “Yumeochi”? The story of the magical girls who fight against the dark forces and bring dreams and hope to people begins.
