What Lurks in the Dark is a Twitch-based horror game that allows participation by audience members while streamers play. The streamer takes on the role of a ghost hunter trapped in a house with a malicious spirit, and viewers take on the role of fellow ghost hunters that are watching the action unfold from cameras setup inside the house. The audience can decide if they want to help or hurt the streamer and plan their actions accordingly. What Lurks in the Dark explores themes such as viewer sympathy, the challenges of teamwork in online spaces, and the balance of power between streamer and audience. |
