Explore the haunted house with Twitch chat.

RedDeer.Games has announced Dark Stream, a first-person psychological horror with exploration elements coming to PC in 2026. The game puts the player in the role of a disgraced content creator who, due to views and a return to popularity, decides to livestream an investigation of a haunted house with a violent past.

At first glance, Dark Stream appears to be a blend of paranormal investigation, psychological horror, and commentary on modern livestreaming culture. The player enters the house equipped only with basic gear, instincts, and the desire to keep the stream active. As the broadcast begins, the number of viewers grows, the chat reacts, and the house starts to show that it is not just a place for an urban legend.

Gameplay is based on observing anomalies, interpreting paranormal phenomena, and using tools to stabilize dangerous encounters. Objects move, rooms change, whispers break through the static, and every wrong decision can further worsen the situation and turn the space into an even more hostile environment.

A particularly interesting detail is the integration of Twitch chat, which reacts in real-time to discoveries, panic, and player decisions. The audience can be a witness, support, source of chaos, or just an observer waiting for everything to go wrong.

As the player unlocks new rooms, a broader story about the house unfolds, revealing that it is not just haunted, but violent, twisted, and hungry for attention. Dark Stream so far looks like an intriguing horror concept that combines paranormal investigation, livestream tension, and the pressure of an audience that never stops watching.
