Part of your job is to relieve her stress by taking her on dates, sending her on dates with other guys via online dating apps, and giving her psychotropics to take the edge off. To keep her motivated enough to continue her career pursuit, you have to balance her stress, affection (towards P), and mental darkness (mental well-being) level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ame-chan has a public account and a private account on social media. You can read her posts after a live stream or after she\u2019s done something in her off-time. You\u2019ll notice she has a tendency to act supportive and friendly in public while showing her true colors on her private account, which are dark and negative. You also get to see a glimpse of her unstable emotional condition through direct messages sent from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game has multiple endings, including Ame-chan falling deeper into her depressed mental state, causing harm to P, ending up as a porn star, or improving her mental well-being to a point where she no longer needs to seek approval from her fans, prompting her to stop streaming. It\u2019s quite a unique game that focuses on the dark side of being a live streamer.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220128-9049-003-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD <\/em>is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1451940\/NEEDY_STREAMER_OVERLOAD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD sold over 100,000 units in its first week.
