Needy Streamer Overload, put out by Japanese developer Why so serious, Inc. The game has its own covering our ass “this is all fiction and please don’t do any of this” message every time you start it up, and the message is warranted. NSO is a light play for a weekend afternoon, but it simply couldn't hold my attention enough to return to it after putting it down.Not the game I’d planned to review next, or even the post I’d planned to write next, but life has a way of fucking up your plans, doesn’t it? And that’s a lesson that’s very relevant to the game I’m reviewing today.ĭespite its sugary sweet look, this one deals with adult subjects like sex and drug use and heavy, serious subjects mostly related to mental health and various kinds of psychological and physical self-harm up to and including suicide, so the usual warning here for kids and those who prefer not to touch such games. I had fun for those 3 hours, but at some point, the game stopped being fun and became just taking care of the weirdest Tamagochi ever. I have played NSO for over 3 hours, and I feel there isn't much left to do, although I did not get all possible endings, simply because it just becomes a matter of pressing the right buttons in the right order. I must say, however, that the replay value is relatively low after having attained some of them. There isn't any lack of options here: 26 possible closures besides the "good end." Those statuses will determine how the story flows and which ending you will get at the end of the 30 days. However, each activity changes how close you are to each other, how stressed your girlfriend is, and how bad of a mental state she is in. Daily activities give you new ideas for content for your channel.

The pressure to grow her streaming channel starts after receiving an eviction notice, and neither of you has a real-life 5-9 job.ĭuring the 30-day journey, you choose what to do during the day and stream in the evening.

In NSO, you are in charge of your girlfriend's streaming career after moving in with her. I came across NSO after having played Doki Doki Literature Club, and, oh boy, it was not a disappointment. NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD (NSO) blends dating simulators with management games in a way I had not seen before.
