i've been pouring my blood & body into darkwebSTREAMER for over three years now it's a narrative roguelite. a psychological horror. a self-creating story that changes every time. a made-up genre. it's a batshit attempt at something NEW have you wishlisted @darkwebstreamer.bsky.social yet? #GameDev

image shows a darkwebSTREAMER poster featuring the tagline "how far will you go for fame?"

the poster is primarily black, has black and white VHS styling with a freaky pixel closeup of eyes and hair, and features red blurred text describing fragments of a disturbing story, like "it climbs your body", "it's no use", "clothes hooks into your skin"
