Stream our games. Get paid from five viewers up.

Five games. One developer.

These are the games you would be streaming. Two are out now; the other three are being built in public.

Demo out now

Obligate

Twin-stick roguelite

A virus with no body of its own

You are a virus. You have no body of your own, so you steal one. Touch a cell and it is yours: its shape, its weapon, its ability. Ride it until it fails, burst out in a swarm, and take the next one before your time runs out.

Free demo out now on itch.io. Stream it any time; paid campaigns go to members first.

Night Rounds: End of Watch

First-person anomaly horror

Anomaly horror on the night shift

A police holding wing on the night shift. Walk the wing, look for anything wrong, and report it at the panel. Get eight rounds right in a row and your shift is over. Get one wrong and the count goes back to zero.

Free early access, out now on itch.io. Stream it any time; paid campaigns go to members first.

The Broken Order

Gothic first-person shooter

Every reload is a prayer

The last knight of a dead order, and a gun with no powder. You make each round out of your own faith. Walk the order's ruined houses, take back its relics, and keep the last vigil until dawn.

Demo coming soon. Members get keys and creator builds where a game has them, as they are ready.

Five Cells

First-person horror

It wasn't always a warehouse

Forty years ago the building was a research annex, and the five halls at the back were five holding cells. Now it is a warehouse, with pallet racking in everything - including the cells. You are the new night picker. Cash every night. More if you work the back. Follow the rules on the doors.

Demo coming soon. Members get keys and creator builds where a game has them, as they are ready.

Only Way Down

First-person horror

The maze never blocks. It taxes.

A descent through the Paris catacombs. Thirty junctions, fifty-five galleries, one lamp on your head, and a gate somewhere below you. There is no wall to wait out and no puzzle to solve - every wrong turn is just a longer walk in the dark, and the dark is what you are paying with.

Demo coming soon. Members get keys and creator builds where a game has them, as they are ready.

What a stream is worth to you

Fixed rates, published here and written into every brief before you start. A campaign never pays less than this.

  1. 5-14 viewers $15 One 1-hour stream
  2. 15-29 viewers $30 One 2-hour stream
  3. 30-49 viewers $40 One 2-hour stream
  4. 50-100 viewers $80 One 2-hour stream
  5. 101-150 viewers From $110 One 2-hour stream, agreed individually

Average live viewers are your last 30 days, as Twitch or SullyGnome shows them. Views are the median of your last ten videos. A Short or TikTok is paid as an add-on to a paid stream or video, never on its own. Bigger channels: send us your rate card.

What that comes to

  • 30 average viewers, one 2-hour stream$40
  • 30 average viewers, a 2-hour stream plus a Short about it$50
  • A YouTube video, when your last ten have a median of 2,000 views$30

YouTube video

$15 per 1,000 views, on the median of your last 10 videos. $20 minimum, $60 maximum. One dedicated video of at least 8 minutes.

Short or TikTok

$10 as an add-on, alongside a paid stream or video.

  • Paid within 5 business days Counted from approval. Marketplaces commonly take 30 to 90.
  • Straight to your bank In US dollars. Zelle for US bank accounts, Wise everywhere else.
  • No platform in the middle So no commission comes out of it.

How it works

  1. Apply

    Tell us about your channel. Every application is read by hand, and you hear back within about a week.

  2. Get a brief

    When a campaign fits your channel, you get a written brief: the game, what to stream, the window and the rate. Take it or decline it.

  3. Stream it your way

    Play the game, say what you think, and mark it as sponsored. There is no script and no approval of your opinion.

  4. Get paid

    Send the VOD or video link. Once it is checked and approved, you are paid within five business days.

Not ready for paid work yet? You can still join for keys, news and early builds. See who can join.

Early is better here

The network is new. That is not something to hide: it is the best time to be in it.

You talk to the developer

Not an agency, not a marketplace. The person who reads your application made the game.

You see the games early

Members get keys and creator builds where a game has them, as they are ready.

You are not one of thousands

A small network means your application is actually read, and campaigns are sized to your channel.

Your feedback changes the game

Bugs and suggestions go straight into development. Send one any time.

Your opinion stays yours

We ask

  • Your genuine opinion, whatever it is.
  • That a paid stream or video is disclosed as sponsored, the way your platform and your country's advertising rules require.
  • Delivery inside the agreed window, or a message before the deadline if something gets in the way.

We never ask

  • For positive coverage. A payment is for the stream, never for a verdict.
  • To hide that it is sponsored.
  • For the right to put your face, voice or footage in our adverts. That would be a separate, written agreement.

Who can join

18 or older, a games channel at least 90 days old, and active in the last 30 days. Paid streams start at 5 average live viewers.

The studio checks every number before a paid campaign is approved: Twitch on SullyGnome or TwitchTracker, YouTube from a YouTube Studio analytics screenshot or Social Blade. Numbers you type in yourself are where we start; on their own they never qualify.

Requirements to be paid
  • Zelle for US bank accounts, Wise everywhere else.
  • No payments to countries under US sanctions.
  • A W-9 (in the US) or a W-8BEN (outside the US) before the first payment.
  • You are an independent contractor, responsible for your own taxes.

The full rules, including what a paid stream must include and how to disclose it, are in the creator terms.

Questions

Is my channel too small?

Probably not. Joining has no audience minimum, and paid streams start at 5 average live viewers. We size campaigns to your channel, not the other way round.

Do I have to say nice things?

No. We pay for the stream or video being delivered as agreed, never for what you say. Mark it as sponsored and say what you think.

When and how do I get paid?

Within five business days of your VOD or video being approved, by Zelle for US bank accounts or Wise everywhere else, in US dollars. We need a W-9 or a W-8BEN before the first payment.

Is this a marketplace or an agency?

No. It is Wickhouse's own games only, run by the person who makes them. No platform takes a cut.

What if a game is not my kind of thing?

Then decline that campaign. You choose which briefs to take.

What happens after I apply?

Your application is read by hand, and you hear back within about a week. You can sign in at any time to see where it stands and to change your details.

What happens to my data?

Only what you type into the application is stored, and it is never shown publicly. The site sets one cookie, and only after you sign in, to keep you signed in. The privacy page has the whole of it.

Five games, fixed rates, and a developer who reads every application.

Joining costs nothing, and you can leave at any time.
