When Twitch Play Mode is on, the game will show you the chapter selection menu. The chapters buttons will scroll automatically and the chapters counter will appear at the top right corner of the screen. The counter will start when the first player puts a valid number in the Twitch chat. The set of valid numbers depends on the unlocked chapters.
When the counter reaches 0, the level with the highest amount of votes will be selected. If two or more chapters have the same amount of votes, one will be randomly chosen.
Then, in the Brief Chapter panel the player can choose between ‘play’ to begin the selected chapter or ‘back’ to return to the Chapter Selection menu.
As in the chapter selection menu, each chapter will have a poll for every choice . The poll starts as soon as the first player votes. When the counter reaches 0, the option with the highest amount of votes will be selected. Aside from this the flow of the chapters remains unchanged.
In this screen the player can use 3 commands: “restart”, “chapters” and “next”. These 3 commands have the same behavior of the buttons. In this screen, the button “Main Menu” changes to “Chapters Selection”.
