The newest YouTube Gaming exclusive streamer Thomas AKA Sykkuno was spooked while streaming a first-person shooter.
During his recent stream, Sykkuno took a break from playing multiplayer games like Valorant, Among Us, and Fortnite and instead played a variety of other games.
The former Twitch streamer was jump-scared by a loud non-playable character (NPC) while interacting with his fans and trying to beat the game, resulting in the content creator almost swearing live on stream.
After shocking his fans by announcing his switch to YouTube Gaming Live earlier this month, the popular streamer began exclusively streaming on the platform. Since then, he’s had an average viewership of over 20,000 people.
The 30-year-old gamer decided to play a variety of games during a recent stream, including a game with a short playtime that could be completed in one sitting. He was playing the game and trying to finish it as quickly as possible before the stream ended.
Some viewers complained that the streamer’s voice sounded strange as if he were streaming underwater. He read out loud the viewers’ concerns after quickly observing them.
An NPC in the game zoomed into the game’s frame at the same time, followed by a loud gasping noise. The streamer was startled by this sudden in-game movement, which caused him to jump.
After the incident, he almost cursed on stream. Sykkuno was at a loss for words to express his feelings. OfflineTV (OTV) member tried to relax by turning down the in-game audio and sound.
He questioned the game’s decision to make this particular NPC’s in-game actions frightening. He kept playing and streaming the game for his viewers and fans.
After watching the 50-second clip, fans in the YouTube comments section were also scared. Several fans speculated that while streaming a terrifying game for the first time, the streamer would curse.
Sykkuno was one of the top content creators on Twitch, with 4,045,546 followers, and has played GTA 5 for over a thousand hours before switching to YouTube exclusively.
