Is Choicer Voicer Multiplayer?
Yes — locally, for up to 4 players. The Choicer Voicer supports 1–4 players on one computer: in the game show studio, players use their voices to mimic audio clips and computer judges score them. Official description from the itch.io page:
"Inspired by party games of old, The Choicer Voicer is all about doing vocal impressions in various fun game formats."
"Make a fool of yourself for you, your friends, or your stream!"
— official itch.io page
No — there is no online multiplayer. The developer's official answer is explicit:
"Online multiplayer does not exist at this time."
— YeahMaybe, devlog "Answering Recent Questions" (Q4), yeahmaybe.itch.io
So the honest summary is:
- ✅ Local 4 players: an official feature — one computer, one screen, controllers or keyboard/mouse.
- ❌ Online multiplayer: does not exist — no official servers, no matchmaking.
- ⚠️ Playing with far-away friends: only via workarounds (streaming / audio routing), explained below.
The Official Position on Online Play (Q4 Background)
In the same devlog (Q4), the developer explained the background: an online multiplayer proof-of-concept was built and it worked, but the developer worries about abuse/security and lacks confidence in it. The short-term plan is instead to make it "easy to stream your session to friends". The community already has temporary solutions, like routing Discord audio into the game. So official remote play = none today; the practical route is streaming.
How to Play Choicer Voicer Multiplayer — Step by Step
- Local 4-player (official). Buy the game on itch.io → run it on a Windows/Linux PC → start a game show from the main menu → select local multiplayer (1–4 players) → each player grabs a controller/keyboard-mouse plus a microphone → take turns mimicking audio clips while computer judges score.
- With friends in other locations (streaming). ① Buy and install the game on the host PC. ② Host installs Parsec (free); friends install the Parsec client. ③ Host starts a session and sends the link to friends. ④ Play together on the shared screen; the host's microphone picks up audio (friends can also join voice via Discord). ⑤ Voice-only option: route Discord audio into the game with a virtual sound card like VoiceMeeter — the developer mentioned in Q4 that community members have done this.
- Audience participation (official Twitch mode). See /community/twitch/ — Twitch chat votes on performances, and Chatter Packs (Twitch mode only) let chat add voices.
Play with Friends Online: Workaround Comparison
| Option | How it works | Setup needed | Latency | Best for | Official status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local same-screen (official) | 1–4 players on the same computer, taking turns or playing together. | Controllers/keyboard-mouse + microphones | None | Everyone in the same room | Official feature |
| Parsec | The host streams their PC; friends join via link and share the screen. | Host installs Parsec; friends install Parsec (mobile works too) | Varies; test first | Friends in different locations, "shared screen" | Third-party; not verified or supported by the TCV developer |
| LAN streaming (Moonlight/Sunshine) | Stream the picture to another device on the same network. | Server: Sunshine + client: Moonlight | Low (LAN) | Different rooms, same house | Third-party; not verified or supported by the TCV developer |
| Discord audio routing | A virtual sound card (e.g. VoiceMeeter) routes Discord call audio into the game, so remote friends join with their voices. | Host sets up a virtual sound card; friends use Discord | Developer reports noticeable delay | Experimental voice-only participation; no remote controls | Community practice mentioned by the developer; not an official feature |
Keep in Mind
- TCV is a microphone-first game — with any streaming option, test microphone pass-through and latency before the session.
- Third-party streaming requires a copy of the game running on a supported Windows/Linux PC. Compatibility, controller input and microphone routing are not guaranteed.
- The developer discussed making sessions easier to stream, but did not announce a built-in remote-play feature. Check the official devlog for any later changes.
Twitch Mode: Let the Audience Join (Official)
Besides local multiplayer, the game has an official Twitch streamer mode: Twitch chat can vote to rate performances (official feature list: "Twitch chat votes on performances"; Chatter Packs are Twitch-mode only). How it works: the streamer goes live → viewers vote/react in chat → the streamer performs. This is the only official form of remote audience participation.
