What is Scanner Sombre about?

Regaining consciousness you smell the damp. Opening your eyes you see the stone walls of the chamber flickering by the light of the fire; you stumble to your feet and kick a helmet clattering across the floor. Slowly the ache in your head begins to subside and you notice the beginnings of a passage. After a few steps the darkness consumes you. Returning to the safely of the fire you see a LIDAR scanner on the floor - a trigger press results in a faint glow coming from inside the helmet. You put the helmet on, adjust the beam-width and proceed into the abyss….

Should I stream Scanner Sombre on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 13 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 13 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 13 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 Scanner Sombre too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Scanner Sombre, and the one English stream holds all 13 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
