ReStreamed is quite possibly one of the most unique indie horror games to come around in some time. I’m always thanking the indie scene for existing, and ReStreamed is a sterling example of why. Horror games often follow series of tropes we see over and over again. Not only does ReStreamed effectively scare you within the game itself using fresh ideas, it’s almost like a game within a game, thanks to its stream chat mechanic. Your chat isn’t just there to look cool, it’s necessary to progress.
Your chat is full of life and, as you make your way through the game, your viewers hold answers to many of ReStreamed’s gameplay riddles. But not all of the advice you get is genuine. Like a real stream chat, your viewers might accidentally (or intentionally) give you horrible advice... all while sifting through random chatter that has nothing to do with the game at all. This not only creates a living world, but also an increased sense of tension and terror at pivotal points in the game.
I don’t want to say anymore as not to spoil anything, but ReStreamed is a MUST-PLAY for horror fans! Play this: You won’t regret it.
