* At first glance, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js_-gKm1RYI "INTERNET YAMERO"]], a song made to promote the manga, is just a cheery and catchy pop song with references to many ancient Japanese internet memes... but the lyrics are about the internet as a ''destructive addiction'' with references to suicide and substance abuse thrown around. Given Ame being a mentally disturbed, suicidal drug addict who's also perpetually addicted to the internet as an escapist mechanism, it can't be any more fitting [[note]]Interestingly, the dance at the final part has gone on to become a meme with many parodies, usually [[MisaimedFandom completely divorced from the original horrific context]][[/note]].

** The official anthology manga provides a proper aftermath to this ending, and it's far from pretty. The good news is Ame regains the ability to think or act coherently. The bad news is she's now ''jailed'' and isolated from the outside world and the internet, taking the full brunt of what can be summed up as her worst nightmare. Given how Ame relies heavily on the Internet or whatever little human interactions she could come across, this is not good for her sanity and if her sentence even ends, she would be scarred for life.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js_-gKm1RYI "INTERNET YAMERO"]], a song made to promote the manga. Unlike "INTERNET OVERDOSE", this song does not even bother trying to hide the game's true macabre nature as a DisguisedHorrorStory. The video is a psychedelic trip with ''numerous'' absolutely horrific imagery reminiscent of indie Japanese horror games, and despite being a seemingly-cheery and peppy denpa song, the lyrics are flat-out about the ''[[LyricalDissonance internet as a destructive addiction]]''. For example, at the 1:53 - 2:14 mark, when Ame-chan and [=KAngel=] are cheerfully dancing to a BlandNameProduct of Website/TikTok[[note]]said dance has gone on to become a meme with many parodies, usually [[MisaimedFandom completely divorced from the original horrific context]][[/note]], these are the lyrics:
--> "Running through my body is ecstasy,"\\
"Melting down my throat is Myslee,"\\
"My screen illuminates the dark,"\\
"Bathing me in anxiety,"\\
"Can someone kill me please,"\\
"Wait no, I still don't wanna die,"\\
"Can the sun just never rise again?"\\
'''"I'm dying! kill me! My head is gonna f*ckin explode!!"'''

* When Ame's mental darkness reaches 100% and she takes a Magic Grass, there is a ''very low'' chance that the screen will distort VERY rapidly, followed by the text "DELETE IMMEDIATELY" flooding it and the game kicking you back to the title screen. [[note]]The text is actually a ShoutOut to a popular UrbanLegend about ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTensei'', where the game might suddenly freeze on boot and display the message "すぐにけせ".[[/note]]

** However, in general, the terror of this ending comes from how ''painfully realistic'' it is. Nothing outlandish or exaggerated here -- it's simply someone gradually losing her own mind and breaking down in and out of stream over a ''real-life'' social problem. There's a very unsettling factor about seeing a live person break down completely on stream, and then it's another thing to hear your favorite streamer suddenly went onto a series of breakdowns, get doxxed because of it, then positively ramps up the scale within a week...and she ends up either dying to drug overdose, being sent to a mental ward or became so insane that she was rendered catatonic. All the while when people are laughing at her behind her back or wondering if it's just a bad LARP.

** The official anthology manga provides a proper aftermath to this ending, and it's far from pretty. The good news is Ame regains the ability to think or act coherently. The bad news is she's now locked up in a mental asylum and isolated from the outside world and the internet, taking the full brunt of what can be summed up as her worst nightmare.

** First time hitting the 100 stress cap: The screen and background music distorts, and once they go back to normal, Ame reveals that she had a meltdown and trashed everything in her room bar her streaming equipment. She then tells P-Chan that she wanted to die. Later on she streams with the title "a" where she breaks down and tells people to kill her, accompanied with a deranged sound track. The stress level will cap at 120 after this, but she would break down a lot more easier.

* A later update introduces another ending that is one long gruesome sequence. Hit one million subs and do Internet Angel 5 with 120 stress or higher, and you'll get a special stream where [=KAngel=] streams with her usual outfit but with Ame's black and red coloration while a distorted version of the "Do You Love Me?" BGM plays and she starts spouting some absolutely spiteful words against her viewers and the internet while making deranged expressions like in the "Internet Overdose" ending. The stream on the day after is even worse. [=KAngel=] lifts off her sleeves and shows the wristcut wounds on her arm to her streamers while making her deranged rant, then '''slits her neck with a cutter on stream''' with pink blood splattering [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou the]] [[InterfaceScrew interface]]. The BGM when the suicide stream plays out? '''''[[SoundtrackDissonance The 8-bit version of INTERNET OVERDOSE]]'''''.

* The various scripted events that play out when Ame's stress levels go too high for the first time. It really makes you don't want to break her because these scenes are ''unpleasant''.

** Her first stream after overdosing is titled "DIE" and has her screaming hysterical and insane things against her fans combined with absolutely unhinged expressions, pointing to that she isn't even trying to be sane anymore.
** It becomes ''even worse'' from here -- from that point on the screen is filled with eye-like bubbles, various distortions, the background music being replaced by some disturbing and loud ''noise'', Ame acting completely off-rail on the webcam and her JINE messages / Tweeter posts degenerate into insane and incoherent ramblings, with P-Chan following suit. Based on how P-chan is implied to be Ame making stuff up, this is wholly justified.
** At one point in the whole sequence she's just cowering in fear while the doorbell is constantly ringing. She's been doxxed and swatted -- or at least she thinks she is -- and the anxiety in the situation is palpable.

** In Day 27 of this sequence, the last Vanity Search floods the whole interface with ''numerous pop-ups that start with a bunch of creepy eyes that stare at you'', and once the eyes on these pop-ups open, they turn into all sorts of inflammatory comments about her puking or sarcastic remarks involving her real name or her real-life location. And once you close every single one of them, the furthermost pop up is a massive warning window titled: "DIE" with [[ButThouMust only 2 options: OK]]. Afterwards the ''actual'' breakdowns start for real, and the background music will be replaced by some incredibly disturbing and loud noise.

** Perhaps the worst thing about this however, is when it triggers at Day 25, it doesn't look any different from a normal free day. Your sole warning that you had fatally mismanaged Ame by that point is all free activities you can otherwise take are greyed out, at which point the only thing you can do is to enjoy the [[SarcasmMode pleasant sight that takes place afterwards]]. The whole sequence of events are also scripted to play out in the same pattern, although one might not notice it at the first time they're around.

* If you bring Ame's mental darkness and affection high enough, she will make several very deranged expressions on her webcam.

* The "Needy Girl Overdose" ending when you answer Ame's questions incorrectly and/or fail to provide a 100-character paragraph with the word "Ame" on it [[note]]You also need to edit the paragraph if you copy and paste it[[/note]]. The whole screen will turn red and the music will become distorted, and Ame will keep spamming "you don't [love me] do you" as the screen turns red. This ends with Ame stabbing her PC with a knife, with pink, blood-like liquid staining it and the cracked screen, the implication being she was having a meltdown right in front of her screen talking to herself.

** Her last stream, "Diagram of the Body," is just ''nasty''. Not only the wall of her home is splattered with blood and most of the decor on it are displaced, her DissonantSerenity is incredibly offputting, and her viewers are rightfully worried and terrified about her mental health.

* The "Internet Overdose" ending is a very long and drawn-out ending where you are [[ControllableHelplessness robbed of any proper agency]] while Ame succumbs to stress and the game goes off the rails. The interface begins breaking down and Ame greatly overdoses on her meds while undergoing a SanitySlippage. It caps off with what was implied to be a hallucination of [=KAngel=] streaming while covered in blood and holding a funeral photo of Ame, implying she has displaced Ame's personality completely.
