Skystone Games and developer RedDeer.Games are dipping into the psychological horror investigation genre with Dark Stream. Coming later this year to Steam, Dark Stream take a cue from titles such as Don’t Go Live, and challenges players to survive paranormal encounters while streaming live from inside the haunted locales.
You are a streamer, and you’re chasing that ever-elusive clout. The house is legendary, haunted for decades, complete with a ghost story that never dies. So you set up your laptop, grab your flashlight, and go live with your stream. The numbers climb and the chat spams. The views are finally coming in. But the house has other plans.
Armed only with your equipment and your instincts, you push deeper into the house, which as expected begins to “play”. Objects move when and where they shouldn’t. Whispers are heard through the static. Each paranormal event is a puzzle. You’ll need to observe what’s happening, interpret the anomaly, and experiment with your tools. Correct actions stabilize the encounter and reveal the truth, while mistakes escalate the situation, turning the environment hostile and unpredictable.
And much like in Don’t Go Live, Dark Stream features a fully integrated Twitch chat mechanic that reacts in real time to every discovery and every scream. They’re your audience, your witnesses, and maybe even your downfall. Will they support you when the house turns against you, will they feed the chaos, or will they simply spam “F” while everything falls apart?
