The Evil Within

StreamerHouse's 2017 streams brought Shinji Mikami's survival horror vision to 258 peak viewers, years after the game's troubled October 2014 launch. Mikami, the Resident Evil creator, had designed The Evil Within to deliberately make players feel powerless through confined spaces and limited ammo, but the original release was marred by forced letterboxing and performance issues. By the time it hit StreamerHouse, players had access to the patched version that removed some of the technical headaches. The streams showcased the twisted asylum environments and nightmare logic that made critics praise it as a worthy return to classic survival horror, even if the plot made about as much sense as a fever dream. Those 258 viewers got to experience pure, concentrated anxiety as streamers navigated environments designed by the father of survival horror himself.
