[A.N Changed Gifts to subs, they started getting into wierd the names like super emperor]
Among the flood of frantic comments, some sharper viewers suddenly pieced it together.
"Damn, I get it now. That banging stopped because the ghost actually broke into the bathroom!"
"Yeah, and the baby in the sink stopped crying, probably 'cause its mom showed up! Ghost babies don't cry when the ghost mom is nearby!"
"Shit, all this was foreshadowing!"
"This game's loaded with horror details. The details in the little things."
"The craziest part? When the ghost sneaked in, it just latched onto Natalie's back! I totally missed that the first time!"
"Right? It waits until you're relaxed, then BAM! Who can handle that?"
The chat exploded with panic and awe, but the viewers weren't just scared, they were thrilled.
They'd played tons of horror games, watched countless scary movies, but compared to this VR game, 'Silent Hill PT', those felt like kids stuff.
Only now did they realize the game's early warning wasn't a joke.
"Not for people with heart problems or high blood pressure. Seriously."
Meanwhile, in the bedroom next door, Tony had been following Natalie's live broadcast the entire time. When her screams suddenly stopped, a cold panic hit him. He jumped up and rushed into her room.
There she was, collapsed on the VR platform, eyes vacant, face drained of color.
"Hey, are you okay?" Tony asked, concerned.
"Damn, it was terrifying... I swear my heart stopped for a second, like it was on my back or something!" Natalie finally managed to say, voice still shaking.
Tony hurried over to help her off the platform, but she waved him off.
"Wait... just a moment, I'm so scared, my legs are weak. I can't stand yet..." she whispered.
"It's okay, it's just a game." Tony reassured her gently, handing her a glass of water.
Natalie took it with trembling hands and drank slowly.
Watching her, Tony realized he had seriously underestimated how brutal this VR version of Silent Hill was.
The original PC game had a fearsome reputation, but this remake, with new terrifying twists? It was next-level.
If he didn't put safety measures in place before the official release, it might really cause some health issues.
"Damn, Natalie's probably scared half to death. Good thing she's got a brother like that."
"This game's scary enough to mess with your head."
"Honestly, if I played it, I'd probably chicken out."
Their voices carried clearly into the live chat, drawing sympathetic comments from the viewers.
Suddenly Natalie waved him closer, whispering.
"Tony... help me find some pants..."
Tony blinked, confused.
"Don't look! It's not because the damn game scared me..." she snapped, cheeks flushing.
She lowered her voice, worried the live chat might hear. Tony quickly averted his eyes.
"In the closet over there."
"Got it." Tony stood up.
"Wait, check if they're showing my room on the stream."
She didn't want this embarrassing moment broadcast to the whole audience. That would be humiliating.
"They can't see it. The stream's still on the game screen." Tony checked quickly.
"Good... After you grab my pants, help me back to the bathroom."
Seeing her , shaken but still stubborn, Tony moved quickly to help.
Meanwhile, on Twitch another top streamer, NeasJ was live streaming the most popular game, 'League of Legends'.In the past, his streams would draw 120,000 to 160,000 viewers easily, making him one of the platform's biggest stars.
But tonight was different.
After winning a match, NeasJ grinned and glanced at his viewer count, only to freeze in shock.
"Wait, what? Why are my viewers dropping like crazy? Less than a third of usual, and still falling!" he shouted.
"Everyone's gone to watch Natalie! She's playing a crazy scary horror game!"
"Yeah, that Silent Hill game she is playing is terrifying! It's not just a game, it feels like a first person horror movie!"
NeasJ blinked, surprised. What game was Natalie playing that was stealing his viewers?
He wasn't alone. Other big streamers like NeasJ and Saya saw the same massive drop in their audience.
Curious, they all hopped over to Natalie's stream, but when they arrived, the screen was pitch black.
Only a single message showed on screen.
Natalie was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Natalie? It's been ten minutes, and no word!"
"Probably taking a break after that terrifying scene. I'm scared just watching, can't imagine what she went through!"
"This game is seriously scary!"
"I want to download it, but I'm too scared!"
"Same here, but I'm afraid I'd die of fright."
The chat was flooding so fast, NeasJ and the other streamers were dumbfounded.
They knew there was at least 400,000 people watching Natalie's stream right now.
What kind of game could pull such a massive crowd?
Just then, Natalie appeared, calm but pale, sitting back in front of her computer. She'd just washed her face and changed pants, her breathing steadier now.
"Sorry, everyone, I was too scared earlier, so I needed a moment to recover." she said quietly.
"Totally understandable!"
"That game nearly scared me to death just watching!"
"Glad you're okay, Natalie!"
"Let's flood the chat with donations for Natalie!"
As the chat buzzed, subs started pouring in, five, ten, twenty and then someone dropped 100 tier 3 subs the highest amount on twitch, worth a whopping $2,500 dollars
The hype train was insane. The viewers were clearly showing massive respect and admiration for what Natalie had to go through, which only made NeasJ and other streamers wonder what happened.
What on earth did Natalie go through to get this kind of love?
For a moment, Natalie felt a flush of pride among her lingering fear. The donations brought some color back to her pale face.
"First, thank you all for your love and support. But honestly, about Silent Hill, I won't be playing it again. No way, it's way too scary. I'm afraid I might actually get scared to death, so I have to look out for my health." she thanked everyone sincerely.
Her words were honest. That game had left a deep psychological mark. No amount of money could convince her to face it again.
"Totally agree, that game is brutal."
"Natalie's courage is amazing, playing a horror game like that for so long."
The flood of supportive messages kept coming, the viewers clearly admired her bravery.
