Last week I posted a few video analyses of Strangeland, and this week I wanted to follow up by posting a few videos of livestreams and Let's Plays from CohhCarnage, Mostly Walking, Keith Ballard, Bowie (Chinese), and Staszek iGRAszkowski (Polish).
One of the incredible pleasures that has followed Strangeland's release has been the opportunity to watch Twitch streams of folks playing our game. Back in Primordia's day, streams were much less common, so we only were able to watch the after-the-fact Let's Play videos on YouTube. James, Vic, and I have loved not just watching streamers react to the game, but also watching their audiences contribute to, and feed off of, the streamers' enjoyment. The different perspectives and comments have been a treasure. It's also awesome to see people work through puzzles, speculate about symbols, decipher clues, and catch references in real-time.
We've enjoyed all of them, and we could probably post five dozen, rather than just five. But to be reasonable, here are just a few to check out -- whether you're interested in the game and want to see more before buying, or whether you simply enjoying watching streams and LPs for their own sake. (All of these have follow-up videos, which no doubt you can find on YouTube with your adventure-game-puzzle-solving skills!)

As ever, we're grateful to the streamers, LPers, and players who have helped spread the word about our game!
