What is The House of the Dead 2 about?

The game follows the fictional events of February 26, 2000, fourteen months after the 1998 Curien Mansion incident in The House of the Dead. AMS agent G has gone missing and his last known location is Venice, Italy. The city of Venice becomes chaotic when a strange zombie breakout takes place. American AMS agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart are dispatched, along with Amy Crystal and Harry Harris, to investigate and evacuate the populace. They suddenly encounter the impish Zeal, who had recently dealt with G. Upon finding G alive but wounded, James and Gary converse with him and G gives them a field journal showing the bosses and weak points. The pair are then met with a massive undead horde, similar to the kind from the Curien Mansion incident. They continue on, trying to save the town's civilians from the zombies.

Should I stream The House of the Dead 2 on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 5 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 5 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 5 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is The House of the Dead 2 too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming The House of the Dead 2, and the one English stream holds all 5 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
