Chapter 57
On the popular streaming site SharkTV, there were initially only a few streamers trying their hand at ‘Outlast’. These were people who were familiar with Chen Xu and his previous works.
However, the staff at SharkTV began noticing something strange. The game’s popularity was growing at an incredible rate. Viewer engagement metrics for channels featuring the game soared to record highs, and chat boxes were experiencing lag due to overload.
By all metrics, the game was a hit with audiences.
Perhaps noticing the amount of engagement happening with other streamers, many more were prompted to join in the frenzy. For them, streaming was a full time job, and ‘Outlast’ was an incredible piece of content.
For a time, whenever you looked into the ‘Outlast’ section and randomly entered channels, you’d hear the wails of the damned.
“I’m done! I’m out! Fuck this game, man! Whoever recommended this game, ban him!!”
“The closet just moved!! Why did it move?!”
“No! Please! Lemme go!”
“How is this fat guy running so fast?! How do I get out of here?!”
