Horror at its Peak I'll start with the things I didn't like, because there's a lot less of it [*]OST (Listening to the theme for 6 hours makes me want to drill a hole in my head) [*]Art style (I'm FULLY aware the kawaii aesthetic is necessary for the game, not a fan 🤷) [*]Repetition (there are 20+ endings to this game, I have to do 20+ playthroughs with same dialogue) And the rest of the game is an absolute master class in horror. If you want to make a good horror game or want to know what good horror looks like, you abso-fucking-lutely need to play this game. Why so good? Something that I see so many games get wrong when they label themselves as horror is they become just another shitty startle simulator (walking simulator with LOUD NOISES and scene transitions, usually to a "monster" 🙄). Many times games don't have a reason for their monsters, but rather excuses for them so they can use them to "scare" the gamer. Horror is taking ugly truths of the world and makes them tangible. Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is about a man, who may or may not have turned into a giant insect. It's how he's treated by his family before, during, and after this metamorphosis that's the real horror. The idea of a family turning on someone who once fed them because he's disabled is pure horror. (disclaimer: there are several interpretations of this story). NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD takes the ugly truth of younger audiences still reaching emotional maturity and thrusts them into the adult world where they need to make money by validation (followers). The game explores this from a female streamer's point of view, and explores it very well, AFAIK. There are several pandering stream tactics only available to females that you can chose in your playthrough, while also getting to see the real person behind the business say things like "maybe I should buy a vibrator with all the superchat money" or feeling the need to hide their SO for fear of losing followers (monetary loss). It's just business ... unless ... The game isn't preachy about the ugly truth it exposes. It doesn't say the gross, degenerate, creepy chat messages are bad, it recognizes they exist. It also shows how comments can be positive (yet inert), off topic ("I'm 7, who else is 7 and likes KAngel"), or demeaning ("ur ugly and ull never be famous"). All the while the protagonist is talking her own shit about her fans ... "fans". We really get to see the real version of our protagonist and her streaming persona in her tweets: Streamer Tweet Personal Tweet Please ask for help from others especially when things get too unbearable. but dont dm kangel with your problems coz dealing with them is a pain! I would never trick you or turn my back on you😌 i will shit talk yall on my priv though lmao In this way we get to see a monster of this game; the relationship of the streaming persona (KAngel) and our protagonist. She doesn't feel like she can be herself with her audience. She's only doing the things she does to accumulate fame and wealth. And this comes at a heavy cost ... 'Sanity.exe' not found The reason that compelled me to write this review was the INTERNET OVERDOSE ending. There are a lot of great endings. I'm only halfway through, but all of them seem like real endings to real people's streaming careers. However, INTERNET OVERDOSE is so sad, so macabre, and so genuine in it's delivery that I didn't know how to feel beyond accepting the reality that is the decline into madness, brought about by the system (to make money), the inexperience (of the individual), and the perfect shitstorm to get it started. The bigger picture To reiterate, the game isn't just about needy female streamers. Yes, the protagonist is needy and needs more time to mature and yes the only source of income is through streaming, but moreover it's about humans need for validation from society. To be wanted. To be loved. To be accepted. It's a game that shows the horrors of chasing the wrong things in society, will ultimately lead to your demise. I spoke about how the real monster was the streaming persona relationship, but in a bigger picture one can ask why does that monster exist, though? This is what good horror does. It makes us ask questions that don't have neat little answers wrapped in super kawaii ribbons. There are plenty of failures that existed to create the "evil", speculative or concrete. Our protagonist may be missing parents/guidance, she has a lack of schooling, the system that requires her to make money, the people she idolizes, etc., All of these allow her to justify her actions and the cycle repeats for the next generation. How can it be solved? ... Can it be solved ...? Maybe KAngel has the answers, we'll have to tune in and ask her 😉

i feel uneasy recommending this title. at its best, NSO is a well-made game, with a creative concept and features, pleasant visuals, and a raw depiction of modern-day struggles with BPD. to me, it felt as though it truly nailed the contemporary jargon and humour that are so heavily influenced by the internet. at its very best, it is a social commentary and critique on internet consumption and the excessive, destructive need for validation. however, at its worst, specifically when it falls into the wrong hands, it runs the risk of glorifying what it critiques. this leads to players romanticising ame's behaviours or feeling the need to have a significant other just like her — entirely missing the message this game tries to convey. besides that, the gameplay is very short and can become repetitive and exhausting. i did not feel good after playing this. i have known people like ame, i have felt remorse for people like her, i have felt empathy for people like her; i have been scared of people like her. i fear that i have BEEN her. NSO is a game with an interesting concept; it offers an effective experience. specifically, when you view it as a horror game.

Ame-chan is what having Borderline Personality Disorder is like. It hit way too close home at too many times, and this game has more bad endings than good ones, which is a realistic outcome of things for the mentally ill. Funny and accurate enough, the healthiest playthrough I could find involved going outside often, really put things in perspective huh. I can't fix her, only she can.

This is one of the more intriguing and terrifying games that I've played recently. Terrifying? Yes, but maybe not in the "FNAF", yootoob spooky game sense. You're the friend/BF of a girl who wants to do streaming, and you don't really have more to go on at first. As it progresses, you keep getting little breadcrumbs about how mentally impoverished this girl is. Oh, and you're about to be evicted like any day. So monetizing the unstable gal is required. The music goes from tranquil anime reflections to manic electro the moment you get enough traction to monetize, and the rewards for treating her badly, not prioritizing her health, and basically just watching the inevitable breakdown only increase. The thing is, she's so unstable that you have to put in just enough effort to see another day with her, so you're kinda lulled into caring about her mental health if you want to see tomorrow. And it makes every non-response you give back to her, and every piece of unhelpful advice feel dirty. There is no option to do the right thing if you want the game to go on. If you decide to just sleep together, the game ends. If you ignore her, the game ends. So the game only continues if you play as toxic as possible. At certain points I felt like a monster for making her do things, knowing that it would get more views. Intimacy is like medicine for when it gets bad, so just a little keeps her barely functional emotionally. But you can't have her stable or secure, so you make sure there's always chaos keeping her streams fresh. For the cynicism, atmosphere, and variety of paths, I'd give this a very creepy recommend. Just don't come out of expecting to feel great. It's scary because you know this is happening with young couples currently, and that just freaks me out. It's a little too understandable. The music is incredible at capturing the dreamy, invincible feelings of youth, and then having that collide past a point with this electronic wall of sound, sort of signaling that the stream is beyond you, and so is the relationship (if it ever was one). The only thing is the stream, and you're now the manager, making her go on stage no matter what, because the money can't stop.

okay for context I've only been playing this game for about four days and I've almost 100 percented it. It is extremely fun and addicting and tickles my brain perfectly. I wish there were more things to do in it because I love the gameplay loop and I need more...I NEED MORE !!!!! The game itself is a stat manager/balancer type thing where you help manage this emotionally unstable girl's streaming career, and she's also your girlfriend. I love this idea, and I love how the gameplay just makes sense within the narrative. You have to manage her stress, her affection, and her mental darkness, and managing them differently unlocks different paths and endings. She's incredibly needy (see the title) and so a lot of the stats and endings are very fickle, which makes the game pretty challenging. For example, you have to keep replying to her texts with these emojis and not leave her on read or she gets mad and eventually leaves you. This can get tedious as she will text you throughout all the day cycles (day, dusk, and night)! The streams themselves make just...so much sense. Streaming s*xy streams gives you more followers, but negatively affects her mental health, same with breakdown streams...which makes sense as s*xualizing yourself for views online or begging for sympathy CAN negatively effect you, especially if you're in a vulnerable position like our needy streamer. More standard streams give you less views but are better for her mental health. If you stress her out too much the game sometimes auto-locks you into certain tasks that can "ruin" your plan for her, which adds another element of challenge. There are also SO many classic visual novel and denpa references, when KAngel starts playing the "f*cked up VN" and I saw the sunset, I screamed "IS THAT SAYOOSHI????" and then the sprite for mutsuki showed up and I was like "I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!" (steam if you're listening please PLEASE find a way to localize sayooshi and put it on steam i want to play it SO bad) There's also a really blatant shizuku reference in the mv and it made me very happy...and a bunch of other denpa references that other people found but I didn't catch...hhehehe... like imagine if ddlc pulled out a totono reference or something??? that's how this felt! ahhhh! I noticed there's a spin-off needy streamer game which has some very classic vn gameplay, including the "white text over the cg" which I have a soft spot for as that's how I played higurashi! The creators really have some denpa/vn experience! The soundtrack is also INCREDIBLE??? Each song matches the vibes of the situation perfectly. The song that starts out is an 8-bit sorta "let's do this!" loop that gets faster and crazier as you work towards monetization...one of the versions of this even has someone screaming in it which is very fitting lol Once you hit milestones, this very relaxing classic vn song plays that feels right out of doukyuusei or something. And when you do milestone streams, a lullaby music box song plays that reminds me a lot of yume nikki. After you hit monetization, a more peppy, runway type beat plays kind of like a "yeah let's really get serious" with little remixes of a girl speaking (I thought she was saying "ii desuka" but that might just be my earthbound brain) There's also a song that plays any time something f*cked happens, it reminds me a LOT of the milk bag games which made me smile! I will say, as much as I enjoy the balancing act of this game, it left a few things to be desired. I still wholeheartedly recommend it, but just keep these in mind. The game relies almost fully on clicking things in this "faux desktop" kind of area, and the spacing of a lot of it makes it a bit difficult to easily and comfortably click on things. It's a bit unclear where you need to click in order to have the inputs go through. I found myself offsetting my mouse a bit and clicking the sides or just above certain icons in order to have the input go through. I got used to it after a bit, but it was a bit off-putting at first and definitely ruins the quality of life for the first little bit. I also found a few glitches/bugs such as menus staying on screen instead of disappearing, endings triggering the achievement but not triggering the textbox that brings you back to the title screen, and some asset errors. Since the game relies mostly on clicking things, clicking the screen at all can cause a bunch of different things to happen, so I think the code should have had more parameters to make gameplay smoother (i.e.: if ame has this sprite, disable the "patting her head" mechanic so clicking on her head wont negate that sprite") The writing is also a bit hit or miss. I went in expecting something similar to the milk bag games, in which we slowly learn more about this mentally ill girl and her problems. We DO, but sometimes Ame seems almost cartoonishly cynical or unfair, in a way that seems more like a cynical parody of a mentally ill streamer rather than a well-rounded character. Maybe that was the intention, and there certainly were moments where I sympathized with her, but the strength of this game is definitely in the gameplay, rather than the character writing. With these bugs and hit or miss characterization, the game almost feels like an early-access or demo? The replay-ability and multiple endings carries the gameplay length, but even with that a lot of the streams are repetitive. I was expecting your choices to affect the streams a lot more, like if you do a bunch of s*xy streams and then go to more "normal" streams, the comments would be like "why is she acting all innocent" and stuff, but it's just the same comments you would get if you never did s*xy streams at all. It broke the immersion just a bit as I slowly realized the game was probably just internally looking at the stats bars rather than checking which streams you had done etc. I was really excited for an ending where your fanbase goes against you for switching up your streaming topics! Overall: I recommend the game. I mean you can just tell by my hours I've gotten in through only four days. I'm obsessed. It has it's flaws but I love it anyways...!!
