Needy Streamer Overload gets new typing spin-off game, plus PS4/PS5 release in January  

Japanese indie label WSSplayground announced that they will be releasing Needy Streamer Overload: Typing of The Net on PC (Steam) on January 21, 2025. A spin-off of WhySoSerious’s acclaimed adventure game, Typing of the Net is a call-and-response internet slang typing game featuring a familiar face. It will be playable in English, Japanese and Chinese. For console players, the original Needy Streamer Overload will be coming to PS4/PS5 on January 21, too. 

Originally titled Needy Girl Overdose in Japan, Needy Streamer Overload is a multi-ending adventure game that was first released on Steam back on January 21, 2022. It focuses on Ame (AKA OMGKawaiiAngel), a young girl with an extreme need for online validation who is hoping to become the internet’s number one streamer. Bursting with cheerful-looking, colorful visuals, the game is an amusing yet dark parody of the obsessive road to internet fame. Just two weeks after release, Needy Streamer Overload surpassed the 200,000 downloads mark. It currently has an Overwhelmingly Positive review score on Steam (95% of 39,614 reviews are positive).

In Needy Streamer Overload: Typing of The Net, OMGKawaiiAngel is back, but this time she is challenging you to a hyper fast typing game. OMGKawaiiAngel will comment on each term you bash out on your keyboard, her remarks ranging from humorous asides to jokey insults directed at the player. The game is not just a test of your typing skills, however. It features over 200 internet slang expressions from nostalgic lingo that will bring back memories of MSN messenger to the latest Gen Z terms, so you may end up learning something new. Also, if you are studying Japanese, it might be fun to change the language and use the game to pick up some Japanese Internet slang. 

Needy Streamer Overload: Typing of The Net is scheduled to be released for PC (Steam) on January 21, 2025. There will also be an Internet Angel Pack available, which bundles together the original Needy Streamer Overload game, artworks, soundtracks and a spin-off game collection including Typing of The Net. 

Needy Streamer Overload is currently available on Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam), with the PS4/PS5 version due out on January 21, 2025.
