As of Version 0.68:
Chat is Cooked is a streamer overlay game currently in public beta, featuring:
- Hands-on chatter interaction: Click and drag chatters around the screen. Toss them, pin them in place, drop them into props, or otherwise demonstrate the consequences of their actions.
- Customizable chatter appearances: Use the included collection of avatars, let chat switch appearances with commands, or allow viewers to use their Twitch profile pictures.
- Effects and status styles: Boil, supersize, freeze, magnetize, launch, spin, burn, explode, or otherwise inconvenience your chatters.
- Role-based styling: Give subscribers, moderators, and VIPs their own persistent visual effects and appearances.
- Chat bubbles: Optionally display chat messages next to their chatter, with support for Twitch emotes and customizable display timing and text styling.
- Custom reaction rules: Trigger effects and actions from chat messages, channel point rewards, bits, subscriptions, keybinds, and more.
- Ready-to-use defaults: Connect your Twitch account and start cooking immediately, or edit the included reactions to suit your stream.
- Polls and chat voting: Run polls that chat can vote on through reaction rules, then use those votes to trigger effects, teleport chatters, or control stream activities.
- Flexible stream overlay: Resize and reshape the window to fit your layout. The background appears transparent in OBS when captured with Game Capture and transparency enabled.
- Streamer-friendly controls: Hide individual chatters or automated accounts, control how they respawn, and configure editable shortcuts for frequently used tools.
Scene Building and Interactive Props
Build Mode lets you construct your own interactive overlay scenes directly inside the game:
- Place, move, scale, rotate, recolor, and remove props.
- Use grid snapping, keyboard adjustments, scroll-wheel scaling, and Tab selection for precise placement.
- Add pinball flippers, bumpers, ramps, springs, liquid-filled jars, tables, shelves, a witness stand, a working balance scale, and more.
- Draw collision lines and blocks to create custom floors, walls, platforms, and obstacles.
- Add customizable effect zones that apply effects when chatters enter them.
- Place named Chatter Spots for reaction-controlled teleportation.
- Save complete scene layouts—including their window size and settings—with preview thumbnails.
- Load the included Default, Chat is Pinball, and Judgement layouts, or build your own.
- Add community-made avatars and props through the content-pack system, with support for additional content types as development continues.
Interactive Stream Games
- Control pinball flippers using configurable keys.
- Launch chatters with bumpers, springs, ramps, iron balls, and other physical props.
- Use polls and reactions to move viewers between destinations or involve them in stream decisions.
- Pick up a chatter and use them as the target of a keybound reaction.
- Combine reactions, effects, props, polls, and teleport destinations to create your own chat-controlled activities.
Known Issues
- Teleport reactions may need to be reconfigured if the Chatter Spot they reference is removed from a layout.
- Applying a new effect can replace an existing effect without considering effect priority or potency.
- This is still a beta. Some combinations of custom props, reactions, window shapes, and Twitch behavior may produce unexpected results—which is admittedly very on-brand.
Planned Features
- More interactive props, effects, and stream games
- Expanded content-pack support
- Steam Workshop integration
- Sound effects and sound reactions
- More customization for scenes, avatars, and interface styling

A word from the creator of Chat Is Cooked: (Click to expand!)
Hey, chat. I’m Stella De. I'm a VTuber, programmer, community organizer, and at least a dozen other things depending on the day.
In 2026, I had the opportunity to attend OffKai Expo. It was an emotional, joyful, and unforgettable experience. I'm scarcely able to find opportunities where I can both be myself and be connected with people who matter to me, and who I matter to.
Honestly, I ugly cried when it was coming to an end. It made me realize what I wanted out of streaming to begin with: to create things for people and to share in the journey with others.
Chat Is Cooked grew out of that feeling. I wanted to create something playful and fun that brings streamers and their communities a bit of joy, where chat can show up, cause chaos, get thrown across the screen, and occasionally end up boiling in a cauldron.
Yeah, typing that out makes me question it too.
I’m releasing Chat Is Cooked to help fund my trip back to OffKai Expo in 2027. By purchasing Chat Is Cooked, you're helping me return to a place that rekindled something important in me, while also supporting the game's continued development.
Thanks for taking the time to read and consider Chat Is Cooked!

Seeing that this requires connection to Twitch, is this more of a tool rather than a game itself?
how does it work
Which part? Or did you mean overall?
It connects to Twitch to get events from it to drive most things in the game. From there you can interact with things or set up custom reactions to cause things to happen based on what happens in your streams.
If you're curious about a specific aspect of Chat is Cooked, let me know. I could go into the basics of how to use it or talk about how the tech works.
overall
I've been absolutley loving this from the pre beta to even the most recent version. I have some feedback for the UI if you have a google form or email I could send them too otherwise this could be a long comment section lol overall amazing idea though!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!
You're welcome to do it here or send me an e-mail over at [edit: removed e-mail address because spammers]
I wanted to let you know that I got your e-mail, and I'm working on implementing the suggestions you made. I am admittedly dogwater at UI, so this was super appreciated.
So happy I could help! this really is such a good program I am reccomending it to all of my streamer friends!!!
Only problem i am having is it does not show as transparent in obs, please advise
Hey there! In OBS make sure when you set up your game capture for Chat is Cooked, you check off 'Allow Transparency' in the properties. OBS leaves this off by default. Should clear it right up!
Oh, game capture. The description says capture window. Those are two different things in obs, i dunno if i am just dumb or anyone else also got confused lmao
That's my mistake! Thanks for pointing that out, I got it corrected. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in it or if you have any problems!
if only i had the money.
I know right...
your pfp speaks volumes
hello
I tested this on twitch, and it is a fun concept! I'd be curious to see what else you may add!
A thought though, there is some black text lines in the dashboard that is incredibly difficult to read. Unsure if that is intentional or an error
Thanks for letting me know! I'm relieved someone else gave it a shot.
I did leave some miscolored text in the UI in the reaction menu but I need to check the dashboard if it was there too!
failboats gonna have a fun time with this
This should be on steam ngl
It will be, though with my financial goals being what they are at the moment it might be a bit.
ok
hi seriously looks good vibed
lowkey goated idea
somebody needs to show this to funkyfrog, caseoh or techjoyce lol
