Cosy horror and indie games
Slow-burn haunted-house adventures, puzzle games and the occasional deckbuilder. Juno narrates every decision and reads chat suggestions aloud, so even a quiet hour feels like a group effort.
Live four nights a week · Seattle, Washington
Cosy horror games, late-night drawing and a chat that actually talks.
Juno Park streams on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday evenings: spooky indie games on the big screen, digital painting with commentary and a community game night where chat picks the lobby. Over 38,000 people follow the channel, and most of them stay for the conversation.
Streams start at 6 p.m. Pacific and run for about four hours.

Four kinds of stream, one friendly room
No jump-scare screaming, no hustle culture, no pressure to be a regular. Pick the night that sounds like yours.
Drawing hour
Juno paints on a tablet and takes requests from subscribers. Two commissions a month are finished live, and brushes and palettes are shared as free downloads.
Community game night
On Sundays, chat joins the lobby. Party games, co-op puzzles and a monthly trivia bracket with prizes donated by independent developers.
Charity stream, first Saturday of the month
A rotating cause is chosen by chat. Last year the community raised $41,200 for animal shelters, food banks and a local arts school.

What chat says
“I found Nightjar during a bad month. Juno greets everyone by name, and the chat feels like a late-night café where everyone is welcome.”
“The drawing hour taught me more about shading than a semester of art class. And the downloadable brush packs are the best I own.”
“We sponsored one stream. Juno played our game for ninety minutes, said what she disliked and our wishlist numbers tripled the next day.”
Nightjar Notes
One email on Sunday morning with the week's schedule, a new brush pack and the best clip from chat.
Questions from new viewers
Where do the streams take place?

Do I have to subscribe to join the chat?
No. Chat is open to everyone. Subscriptions add emotes, game votes and a few extras but never block basic conversation.

Yes. Indie developers can write through the contact address on the channel page, and the Saturday indie showcase is reserved for new submissions.
Are streams recorded?
Every stream is saved for two weeks, and subscribers can watch the highlights from their dashboard at any time.
How are you funded?
Subscriptions, tips and a small number of sponsored streams that are always clearly labelled.
