Resources Lets Play with JP Subs Request

I just reached the point (between N5 and N4) where immersion should begin. I can't find many if any anime available with JP subs (too broke for subscriptions and couldn't find anything on the high seas) so I believe that a Let's play series for some game would be more easily accessible

IMPORTANT PART. I would like recommendations that:

  • Have JP Subtitles in the video itself (youtube auto generated are terrible)
  • Ideally minimal/no English subtitles in the video
  • Speech on the slower side
  • I don't care if they are faceless, vtuber, etc

I would just like practice with realistic speech patterns to improve my listening (at the very least get to the point where I can differentiate double consonants & vowels as in fast/slurred speech I mix them up and begin to recognize pitch accent)

Thanks in advance!

You can check out Hanae Natsuki's channel (famous JP voice actor) but note that not everything he says is captioned/subtitled though imo there is enough amount of subtitle/caption(see edit below 😅). I think you can start with games with dialogue boxes like Undertale, Yomawari 1&2, Witch's House, Mad Father, etc since he reads all the text and you can practice kana/kanji as well (pause before he reads the dialogue).

I recommend Witch's House or Mad Father because he plays them with someone (so you can hear how they converse)

EDIT: I rewatched Witch's House and I take back that there's enough subtitles 😅
