Chat interactive

Chat interactive games are games in which the viewers can participate within the chat of a streamer's game they are streaming live. They were popularized on Twitch.tv streaming site by having games have the option to integrate viewers into the game. Since then, there have been uniquely made games that focus on this viewer and streamer interaction.

Some of the different ways viewers can interact are through voting for choices, controlling enemies, picking randomized loot, and using words as commands in the chat that program certain aspects of the game. Emergent gameplay sometimes happens as a byproduct of viewers and streamers improvising.
