Become a Live Streamer in Don’t Go Live
Independent studio Lake On Fire has officially revealed its upcoming horror title Don’t Go Live, offering a fresh take on the genre by blending livestream culture with psychological terror. Alongside the announcement trailer, the developer confirmed that a free demo will arrive on Steam starting April 29, 2026.
In Don’t Go Live, players step into the shoes of a livestreamer exploring abandoned locations, driven by an audience eager for unsettling content. What begins as a routine urbex stream quickly turns into something far more dangerous. As players move deeper into these eerie environments, a lurking entity becomes increasingly aware of their presence. Every action, from scanning surroundings to reacting to alerts, intensifies the threat, creating a constant sense of unease.
The standout feature lies in its integration with Twitch. Real-time chat messages, emotes, and viewer interactions directly influence gameplay, triggering unpredictable in-game events. This means the more active the audience, the more chaotic and dangerous the experience becomes. For those without a Twitch account, a simulated chat system ensures the mechanic remains fully accessible.
The game also features a reactive found-footage-style camera that distorts near paranormal activity, a scanner that reveals hidden anomalies, and a behavior-driven entity that responds dynamically to sound, light, and stream engagement. The upcoming demo will include a single location, one entity, and a complete gameplay loop designed to showcase its core mechanics.
Lastly, Don’t Go Live is shaping up to be a unique horror experience worth keeping an eye on. You can wishlist the game right now on Steam for further updates.
