Keep objective messages, event notifications, and outcome screens visible when streaming Halloween: The Game. A layout that works during normal gameplay may still cover the text that appears when you are downed or the match ends.
1. Confirm game availability #
Check the Eklipse supported games list and your account for Halloween: The Game. If the title is not available, ask Eklipse support about the current options before relying on automatic highlights.
2. Select the correct game category #
Choose the category that matches Halloween: The Game, rather than another Halloween title or a general horror category.
- On Twitch, edit the category in your stream information.
- On YouTube, select Gaming and enter the matching game title.
- On other connected platforms, check the game selection before you start.
Update the category if you switch games during the stream.
3. Keep key game information visible #
The documented cues cover objectives, event notifications, and player or match outcomes.
| Game information | Where to check | What to keep visible |
|---|---|---|
| Opening objective | Upper-middle at match start | “KILL ALL THE RESIDENTS” or “SAVE HADDONFIELD RESIDENTS” |
| Persistent objective | Upper-left during gameplay | The current objective text |
| Event notifications | Left side near mid-height | Execution, kill, and downed notifications |
| Player and match outcomes | Center of the screen | “DOWNED,” “YOU DIED,” “YOU ESCAPED,” and “GAME OVER,” including the result line |
Keep these areas clear even when the text is not currently on screen.
Recommended stream overlays #
Prefer the top-right or bottom-right for your overlay. Top-left and bottom-left are not ideal. Choose one position and check it in your stream preview.
Good overlay placement:
- Start with a small facecam in the top-right or bottom-right corner.
- Position alerts away from the center and the left-side notification column.
- Keep opening objectives visible when the match begins.
Avoid:
- Center-screen alerts that cover death, escape, or game-over messages.
- Left-side chat panels that hide execution or kill notifications.
- Wide top banners that cover the opening objective.
- Switching to an intermission scene before the match result appears.
Check the proposed positions in your game build. UI placement can change, and no corner is safe for every layout.
4. Make the recording accessible #
Use a recording source that your Eklipse workflow can access. For connected-platform imports, confirm that the VOD exists and remains available after your stream ends.
Use the privacy settings required by that workflow. Public broadcasting is not a universal requirement for every Eklipse recording option.
5. Keep objectives and results readable #
Capture the full game image. Avoid crops, filters, and custom overlays that obscure objective text or outcome messages. Check any HUD or language changes in a short recording before using them for a full session.
Before you go live #
Test your layout during a match start, an event notification, and an outcome screen. Trigger a sample stream alert during the test. Check that the alert does not hide the objective, event text, or result.
