This is Shift at Midnight. We skip the chat banter and the snack breaks and keep the moments a designer can act on.

Frustrationblocking

the glider runs out of stamina over open water and every fall sends the player back to the post office

3 of 5 streams

“the wing gives out halfway, again. Straight into the sea, and it sends me all the way back to the post office.”

▶ 16:20opens the VOD at this minute

Example from our scripted test recording of a fictional game. The stream count is illustrative.

  1. What kind of moment

    Bug, confusion, frustration, quit, suggestion, comparison or highlight, with a severity.

  2. How widespread

    How many of the streams hit it. One stream is a lead; four is a pattern.

  3. Their exact words

    Copied from the transcript and checked by code. If the words are not in the recording, the item is dropped.

  4. The minute to watch

    Opens the Twitch VOD at that moment, so you can see what was on screen.

How it works

76 seconds, with captions. Fogpost and its streamers are made up, and the voices are generated.

  1. 01

    Paste your Steam link

    We match your game or demo to its Twitch category, and to stream titles in Games + Demos.

  2. 02

    We listen to the streams

    Only the part where your game was on screen, in most common languages. Chat banter is skipped.

  3. 03

    You get a short report

    Problems first. Every item has the streamer's own words and a link to the minute in the VOD.

Illustrations use invented example lines.

What it won't do

  • It does not watch the screen. It only knows what players said out loud.
  • It does not replace your own playtests. It tells you which moments to look at first.
  • It does not cover YouTube or Kick yet, and it cannot analyse streams whose VOD was not saved.

Questions

Which streams do you cover?
Public Twitch streams of your game, including demos streamed under Games + Demos when the title names your game. Streams without a saved VOD, and very quiet streamers, give us little to work with. Twitch deletes most VODs after 7 to 14 days, so ask early.
What happens when a VOD is deleted?
The item stays in your report with the streamer's words and the minute; only the link is marked as expired. Links work as long as the streamer keeps the recording; we check them daily and mark the ones that are gone.
Which languages?
Players can speak most common languages. The report is in English, with the original quote next to the translation.
What do you keep?
Audio is deleted as soon as it is transcribed. Transcripts are deleted after 30 days. The full report stays at an unlisted link that search engines do not index. Streamers can opt out at any time.
Is this AI?
Speech is transcribed on our own machine. An AI model reads the transcripts and picks out the moments; audio never leaves our machine. We only keep an item if the quoted words really appear in the recording.
Why aren't the quotes on the game pages?
They are the streamers' words, so they stay out of public, indexed pages. They are in the full report, one click behind the checkout.
