Overview

Explore an abandoned house and earn Viewers and Footage in this horror streaming game.

The longer you continue streaming, the more Viewers you may gain. You may also reveal valuable Footage.

However, if the same Horror appears twice in a round, every streamer still on site suffers a Stream Disaster and loses all Viewers earned during that round.

When things become dangerous, Leave the house to secure your earned Viewers in your Archive. If you leave alone, you can also claim all Footage currently on the field.

After five rounds, the streamer with the highest Archive score wins. Archive score includes secured Viewers and points from collected Footage.

Detailed Rules

The game consists of five rounds.

During each round, players continue streaming from the abandoned house to gain Viewers and potentially reveal Footage. After all five rounds, the player with the highest Archive score wins.

Round Flow

After each event that does not immediately end the round, every player who is still Streaming chooses either Continue or Leave.

A player who leaves secures the Viewers earned during that round in their Archive.

Continuing gives you more opportunities to gain Viewers, but also increases the risk of a Stream Disaster.

Event Types

Viewers

The displayed number of Viewers is divided equally among all players who are still Streaming.

Any amount that cannot be divided evenly remains as Remainder Viewers on the field.

Horror

There are five types of Horror.

If the same Horror appears twice during the same round, every player who is still Streaming suffers a Stream Disaster. They lose all Viewers earned during that round, and the round ends immediately.

Footage

Footage remains on the field until it is claimed.

If exactly one player leaves, that player collects all Footage currently on the field.

Footage is valued according to its order of appearance across the entire game. The first three pieces are worth 5 points each. The fourth and all later pieces are worth 10 points each.

Leaving

When you Leave, you secure your current Viewers in your Archive. You also receive an equal share of the Remainder Viewers on the field.

If multiple players Leave at the same time and the Remainder Viewers cannot be divided evenly, any leftover amount remains on the field.

If exactly one player Leaves, that player also collects all Footage on the field.

End of a Round

A round ends when one of the following occurs:

  • Every player has Left.
  • The same Horror appears twice, causing a Stream Disaster.
  • The deck is exhausted.

If the deck is exhausted, all players who are still Streaming automatically Leave and secure their current Viewers.

Victory Condition

After five rounds, the streamer with the highest Archive score wins.

Afterword

This game reimagines the push-your-luck tension of deciding whether to Continue or Leave, presented as a horror streaming game.

We would like to express our respect for the original work that inspired this game.
