Neighborhoods Are Watching Games Like Never Before
This project turns living rooms into live streams. Neighbors lean in. Screens glow past their windows.
The Game Is A Collaborative Survival Experience
The Game I Built While My Neighbors Watched (Zombies Included) is an online co-op survival test. Players manage resources and scan streets for undead threats. Studies indicate cooperative mechanics boost group focus and shared tension.
Stream Driven Design Shapes Play Sessions
Real time comments influence level layout and safe room paths. Creators adjust difficulty based on chat energy and observation. Research shows live feedback loops make experimental builds feel polished fast.
Neighborhood pressure turns quiet builds into bold, tested ideas. This project proves spectators can help shape play.

This project blends live audience input with survival rules. Players react to comments while neighbors watch.
Can anyone join a watched play session?
