In Don't Go Live, players take the role of a livestreamer doing urbex, exploring abandoned locations to feed their audience's obsession with disturbing content. The deeper they venture, the more the entity lurking in the shadows takes notice. Every scan, every step, every stream alert makes things worse. And something always answers.
The game's defining mechanic sets it apart: the player's real Twitch chat is fully integrated into the experience. Viewer messages, emotes and spam trigger real-time in-game events. The more the audience reacts, the more dangerous the situation becomes. Players without a Twitch account can also use a simulated chat to experience the full game.
KEY FEATURES
- Live Twitch chat integration: real viewer messages and emotes trigger in-game events in real time
- Reactive found footage camera: the image glitches and distorts in the presence of paranormal anomalies
- Paranormal scanner: filming the environment reveals traces invisible to the naked eye
- Behavioral AI entity: reacts to sound, light, and stream activity
- Escalating tension: the more the audience engages, the more dangerous it gets
- Demo out April 29, free on Steam: one location, one entity, one complete gameplay loop
