Beta AMI Drops Horror Game Aka Manto as Too Dark to See, Then Screens Ghosts at an Airport

PIXELA PROJECT — Beta AMI of Pixela Project cut short a session of the Chilla’s Art horror game Aka Manto on Wednesday because the picture was too dark to follow, then moved to a milder ghost game and played it through the rest of a stream that ran just under two hours.

The stream opened with greetings and a meal of fried chicken. Beta AMI said she had been up since 8 a.m. and was still groggy, asked chat whether she should start with music or a game, and played a short clip of a song she had recorded. She said she had redone the whole song from scratch and would play it in full once the ad-libs were added.

“The screen is so dark. Help, I can’t see anything at all.” — Beta AMI, on starting Aka Manto

Aka Manto began about half an hour in. Almost at once she said she could see nothing on screen and that chat should help. She searched through her Nvidia display settings and adjusted the color controls, but the changes did nothing, and she concluded the game was too old for the filter to work. She wondered aloud why everyone was playing it at all. After a scare, she said that if the thing she had just seen came back, she could not keep playing, and she switched games.

The replacement was a ghost-themed game she said she had found on Roblox and could handle. In it she screened passengers at an airport, scanning bags, taking photos and asking whether each traveler looked normal, while odd figures kept turning up and startled her more than once. She said the screams alone made the evening worth it, and she chose to stop after the fifth round.

Beta AMI thanked viewers for coming and apologized for not finishing the game. She said she would be back in two days, told everyone to be good and said she would see them in their dreams that night.
