Death By Chatter

[quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to link to a third party Twitch account... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account. This represents a considerable risk to gamers due to the privacy and security implications of developers that wish to bypass Steam and harvest user data. Remember, sometimes if the product is free, YOU are the product.[/quote] Death By Chatter is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This looks like just your usual platformer but it requires you link this crap to your Twitch account (social media integration is needed in games like pancreatic cancer is) so the developers can…

Death By Chatter is the only game where the main mechanic is: > **“Shut up or die… but also talk or die.”** You and some “friends” hop into voice chat to complete simple tasks while a Thing listens to every noise you make: * Talk too much? It hunts you. * Breathe too loud? It hunts you. * Keyboard clack, Discord ping, chair squeak? **Consider yourself content.** It’s basically Discord, but with consequences. --- ### Pros * Proximity voice chat makes everything 100x funnier and 200x dumber. * Forces actual teamwork: * “Whisper the plan.” * “Stop yelling.” * “Who keeps slamming their desk?!?” * The horror isn’t even the monster—it’s hearing your own recorded voice back in a jumpscare. * Amazing built-in party game: try explaining to your non-gamer friend that their loud mechanical keyboard just wiped the squad. --- ### Cons * One friend with a bad mic = environmental hazard. * You *will* die mid-sentence saying something embarrassing. The killcam is just you going, “So anyway I kind of like th–” *chomp*. * Strangers in public lobbies treat “stay quiet” as a personal challenge and immediately start beatboxing. * Half your time is spent adjusting mic sensitivity instea…

Game doesn't work at all if you're not streaming to twitch, so I recommend you don't play this.

This godawful game automatically opens your browser to some twitch looking login screen, At the same time it opens up the game with some godawful annoying incessant music. I found that you dont actually need to login with your actual twitch username as it accepted the default name already in the box. This game doesnt really seem to work as it should without "chat" to fire guns at you. It's badly drawn and continues to play terrible music. Wouldn't recommend this game to my worst enemies.
