Last Year: The Nightmare’s take on multiplayer horror rockets up the Twitch charts

Asymmetric multiplayer horror has become an unlikely genre over the past year or two, and Last Year: The Nightmare has managed to drive some early interest upon its release today, especially on Twitch. Viewership has managed to top the likes of PUBG and Dota, and has occasionally graced the #3 gaming spot today - right behind Fortnite and League of Legends. Some number of those viewers come along with sponsored broadcasts from a number of major streamers, but it appears much of that interest is genuine - at least, it’s been enough to kill the game’s official site a few times today. Last Year is fairly similar to games like Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th, where a team of weak human players have to work together to escape the wrath of one player controlling a killer. Here, the hook is that the murderous player has three killers to control, and so you respawn with new abilities and a new playstyle every time you die. There are three killers, five survivors, and three maps available right now, and more are set to come as free updates throughout 2019.
