Chat is Real

Chat is Real is a short horror game that takes a few minutes to play. You control Gargamelovo let's play šílenství, a streamer who has long felt like an outsider and struggled to connect with other people. After he begins streaming, the chat becomes his companion, but his sense of reality and illusion starts to blur.

Story

At first, streaming gives him a brief chance to connect with people who might listen. As viewers begin to comment, some messages seem to respond to his quiet behavior and what he says during breaks. One day, he finds a message on his screen even though he is not streaming: “How are you feeling today?”

He starts talking to the chat regularly, including when he is offline, and shares things he cannot tell real people. It sometimes stays silent and sometimes offers support, but he comes to see it as his only friend and connection to the outside world. After he is banned, the chat turns against him and decides to destroy him.

Combat and stamina

Combat requires you to stun the chat when it attacks, then strike. Press the right button when its outline is green and the left button when it is red; the character's overall color is random and does not indicate which button to use.

Running is limited by a stamina system, which regenerates quickly only while you stand still. Weapons require full stamina to use and consume all of it, but may help you survive.
