"HAUNTED STREAMER" A horror adventure where you can become the first idiot streamer to die in the movie. Registrants & Spacha-style risk-return system to earn money is interesting [BitSummit the 13th]

 

The indie game festival "BitSummit the 13th" will be held at Miyako Messe in Kyoto from July 18 ~ July 20, 2025.

On the second day, today, July 19, the winners of the 2025 awards were announced. One of the media partner awards, the Famitsu Award, was awarded to HAUNTED STREAMER, a horror adventure under development by the indie game development team "Prank Maker," which is made up of five horror lovers.

Regarding the award, Prank Maker left a comment, "Thank you for choosing such an unscrupulous game!"

In this article, we will introduce the remarkable work "HAUNTED STREAMER" that won the Famitsu Award.

There is a horror movie in which the stupid video poster and distributor who came to the haunted spot unprotected dies first. "HAUNTED STREAMER" is a horror adventure where you can become such an idiot streamer (Uma-chan). When I was watching the movie, I thought "Yes, I was the first victim" and made fun of it, but I never thought that I would become the one who made fun of it.

Uma-chan runs out of savings and aims for a one-shot reversal with a streamer. His words and actions are ridiculous, but he also has a cute side that he is praying for the success of his first delivery. Don't be surprised that you're wearing a mask even outside of the stream.

In the demo version, you decide to invade a detached house (ruined) in a haunted spot in order to earn money with registrants. For those who were relieved (or even licked) by the horse mask, unfortunately, the horror depiction of this film is serious.

Lots of horror atmosphere. If it wasn't for the people around during the event, I might not have been able to play.

Now, what does a stupid streamer who comes to a haunted spot do? Comment return? Viewer service? Interesting talk?

No, no, it's "vandalizing haunted spots in response to the recklessness of the viewers"! In this work, viewers respond to Super Chat-style nonsense.

A Buddhist altar with an atmosphere. I was told by the viewer to ring the orin, and I did it with a snort.

Playing the altar in a mess, drinking the most dirty bath water, taking two-shots with ghosts, and kicking a dead body (possibly an object wrapped in a blue sheet). You can do something like level 100 per punishment.

If I drink bath water like this, won't I die of illness regardless of curses or anything?

Of course, if you respond to the reckless behavior, the return will be large. It makes it easier for your videos to get more excited, more viewers, and most importantly, you get paid. It's a good story for Uma, who has 0 savings. The only problem is......

The TV is on even though the electricity is not supposed to come. As you get closer, a human face suddenly emerges. Not only Uma-chan, but also I was usually scared.

I wonder if it will be cursed for that. Well, it's natural. I mean, if you do this, you will curse not only ghosts and monsters, but also gods and Buddhas. It's too self-indulgent to sympathize, but this guy is my own avatar.

In other words, it's a chicken-race system that balances money against the risk of being cursed by the return of the registrant. In horror, it's normal to run away, but in this film, you have to plunge yourself into danger. It's novel.

In the end, I drank the bath water. I can't help it because I don't have any money.

In addition, if you are cursed or involved in a strange phenomenon, your sanity will decrease. If it is completely scraped, it will be cursed to death. However, it is a naïve story because the mysterious phenomenon leads to money and the number of registrants.

Whether to make a small amount of money at the blue spa and the green spa and identify the line, or to hit a big shot at the red spa is up to Uma-chan (it's up to the player). One thing I can say is that another horror awaits you: you have to look at your savings book with 0s when you go home anyway.

It's properly scary...... But

This work depicts horror and has a well-crafted atmosphere. Even in the situation of trial play where there were many people around, it was enough to make my back feel scared.

The ruins in the trial version are ordinary houses, but that's why they stir up fear. This means that ordinary places and buildings can be transformed into cursed lands due to people's grudges and abominable actions.

The landlord is a doctor's father. He seems to live with his wife and children, but it seems that he is obsessed with the "ideal family".

The sudden bondage, the voice of a child heard from behind when no one should be there, the disturbing family situation that is revealed as you investigate, the ghost that becomes more and more present by the minute, and the horrible truth that is revealed at the end. I have to re-evaluate this as a serious horror adventure...... Just when I thought......

Finally, a ghost that can be called the center of the curse of this house has appeared......

- Uma-chan has a reaction like "Are you serious?" even though she did. It's kind of tough.

This is the face. I can't help but laugh at the words and actions of Uma-chan that flows a lot. Maybe it's a stupid game after all.

It's certainly scary and has a horrible background. There is, but Uma-chan is a very optimistic idiot, so no matter how scared she is, she will be relieved. Even though he was saying so stupid, he had become a reliable person who calmed him down before he knew it.

Even if something like that happens, Uma-chan is fine. I wonder if they don't care about the residue.

Combined with the structure of going to a horror spot, earning money and registrants, and going again, the game span per stage is short, and it may be an easy title to recommend for horror beginners.

"HAUNTED STREAMER", which allows you to enjoy a gritty horror full of horror, a silly distributor with a spoonful, and a spacha-style risk-return system, will be released on PC (Steam) from PrankMaker. If you're interested, add it to your wishlist.
