Needy Streamer Overload: complete walkthrough and guide
You can’t fail to have noticed the popularity of Needy Streamer Overload recently — and it’s popular with good reason. As well as being a solid, modern take on the “raising sim” genre, the game also has plenty to say about today’s content culture, mental health concerns and the way we interact with one another online.
It also has a whole lot of different endings — so you may well be wondering how to get them all. Well, wonder no longer, ’cause we’re here to help. Let’s get into it!
The basics
For the most part, you want to avoid any of Ame-chan’s “stats” reaching their absolute maximum or minimum, because in most cases that will bring the game to a premature end. The exception to this is Stress; increasing this above 80 will cause an event to occur which raises Ame-chan’s maximum Stress level to 120. Max it out and the game will end.
Also note that certain types of stream (Sexy, Conspiracy Theories and Breakdown) will cause the game to end if you follow their sequence through entirely — they each have 5 “parts”.
To build up Ame’s followers, it’s a good idea to use less stressful and demanding streams to build up a chain of consecutive stream days, then use one of the immensely popular streams (Sexy and Conspiracy Theory) to cash in that multiplier. Note that these have negative effects, though; Sexy gives a hit to your Relationship value, and Conspiracy Theory increases Ame’s Rabbit Hole value. The higher this is, the bigger the penalty to the followers she acquires with each stream!
In order to reach 1 million followers, you’ll need to stream every night, so take care to manage Ame’s stats during the daytime. You should be able to reach the milestone by Day 25.
