About the Game

How far would you go to go viral?


Chat is this Real? is a first-person psychological horror game. You play as Alex, who, after receiving a VHS tape linked to a forgotten patient, sees the perfect opportunity: to break into an abandoned hospital and start a live stream.

What begins as an impulsive attempt to go viral quickly turns into a nightmare.

Explore dark corridors, discover disturbing clues about the patient's past, and survive increasingly terrifying events while your chat follows everything. Between jokes, questions, warnings, and theories, the audience itself can help you move forward.

Throughout the investigation, encounter paranormal phenomena, urban legends, and secrets linked to the hospital. The more discoveries you make, the more attention your live stream attracts... and the bigger your chat becomes.

But the more Alex discovers, the less it seems like real content... and the more it seems like something is waiting for him.
