Line #1 YMMV/NeedyStreamerOverload


1	* AwesomeMusic/AwesomeMusic: The theme song for the game, [[https://youtu.be/BnkhBwzBqlQ INTERNET OVERDOSE]][[note]]The music video contains a lot of flashing lights[[/note]], and [[https://youtu.be/51GIxXFKbzk INTERNET YAMERO]][[note]]Contains even more flashing lights than INTERNET OVERDOSE and some horror[[/note]], which made to promote the manga adaptation, are certified bangers.
2	* DiagnosedByTheAudience: It's never outright stated, but Ame hits pretty much every single symptom of Borderline Personality Disorder, up to and including an [[NotGoodWithRejection inability to cope with rejection]], [[DrivenToSuicide suicidal ideation]], a [[DesperatelyCravesAffection desperate desire for love and approval]], and [[spoiler:creating an ImaginaryFriend as a LivingEmotionalCrutch]].
3	* FandomEnragingMisconception: [=KAngel=] is ''not'' a [[VirtualYoutuber VTuber]], she’s just a normal streamer in {{Kayfabe}}. She only resembles a [=VTuber=] because of the game's artstyle.
4	* GeniusBonus: The text on the final event in the [[spoiler:"Internet Overdose" ending]] is actually encrypted in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher Caesar Cipher]]. Shifting all of the text by 13 [[spoiler:on the stream title "jrypbzr gb gur vagrearg natryf fgernz!" will result in "Welcome to the Internet Angels Stream!" while doing the same on the text on the pop-up window, "Abj, fur vf gehyl unccl", yields "Now, she is truly happy".]]
5	* HarsherInHindsight:
6	** In-Universe -- the implied reveal [[spoiler:that P-chan isn’t real makes a lot of the dialogue options really depressing as they are all Ame talking to herself… including the ones that make her feel unloved.]]
7	** One of the endings features [[spoiler:[=KAngel=]'s issues coming to a head and manifesting as delusions of religious grandeur]]. This became very uncomfortable after August 2022, when [=YouTuber=] and internet personality Gabbie Hanna had a very similar breakdown live on [=TikTok=] over the course of several days.
8	* JerkassWoobie: Ame. She may be a rather sour, pessimistic and crude woman who wants to become a streamer solely for the attention, but she’s clearly struggling with mental illness, substance abuse and a massive inferiority complex [[FreudianExcuse stemming from]] [[spoiler:extreme ParentalNeglect (to the point that her mother tried to ''sell her into prostitution'') and [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer bullying]]]], which all can (and in certain cases ''will'') ultimately end up causing her downfall. The poor girl [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wants someone to love her unconditionally]], and it’s clear that she’s pretty desperate by this point.
9	* MemeticMutation:
10	** "I can fix her."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The player-perspective version of ICanChangeMyBeloved is a notion echoed through Steam reviews and a motivator for most players to find a "good ending" in the game. And as many will find out, no, there's no fixing Ame. This was later even used on games with similar scenarios such as ''[[VisualNovel/MilkInsideABagOfMilkInsideABagOfMilk Milk Outside A Bag Of Milk Outside A Bag Of Milk]]''.[[/labelnote]]
11	*** “I can make her worse.” [[labelnote:Explanation]]An alternate response to the above.[[/labelnote]]
12	** She's just like me fr fr [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game portrays Ame's mental illness and psychosis very realistically, which leads people to joke about how relatable she is.[[/labelnote]]
13	** [[VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet Needy Streamer Iono]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Comparisons have been drawn between Gym Leader Iono and [=KAngel=] due to them both being streamers with very similar appearances and even hair colors.[[/labelnote]]
14	** The dance from ''[[https://youtu.be/51GIxXFKbzk Internet Yamero]]'', the game's second music video, has been often-replicated both in real life and with characters from other fictional works, usually [[MisaimedFandom completely divorced from the original horrific context]].
15	* MisaimedFandom: The ''[[https://youtu.be/51GIxXFKbzk Internet Yamero]]'' song, much like the game itself, portrays the dangers of internet addiction through horrific imagery and dark lyrics, yet the dance from the video has become a meme and trend on sites like [=TikTok=][[note]]Part of the music video has a BlandNameProduct version of [=TikTok=][[/note]], usually with none of the original horrific context, thus becoming a part of the very culture the video attacks.
16	* RealismInducedHorror:
17	** A major reason why this game manages to be quite horrifying and depressing despite its colorful exterior is because Ame's attention-seeking, meltdowns and recklessness are ''extremely'' close to how people with borderline personality disorder in real life would act like especially when suffering from stress or depression, and her coping mechanism in the [[spoiler:form of an ImaginaryFriend]] is also not uncommon on people with such conditions. It helps that all of Ame's behavior was [[ShownTheirWork directly lifted]] from [[https://note.com/nyalra2/n/n326d673d3802 several similarly minded girls the creator briefly dated]] (the link is in Japanese).
18	** There's also the in-game dialogue on stream, Tweeter or [=/st/=], which heavily resembles what someone in real life would say on the internet. This naturally includes some of the nastier comments and laughing at Ame as she breaks down.
19	* ScrappyMechanic:
20	** Sometimes, Ame will force you to perform certain actions (like going somewhere else) or force you to skip a turn or more, potentially causing you to lose valuable time slots that can be used for modifying her stats or getting Stream ideas.
21	** The random events that give you multiple choices don't seem to be that bad at first, but if you do respond to them, they will often waste up valuable time slots or reduce your subscriber count each stream, which is non-negotiable and will affect the rest of the playthrough. It's especially debilitating for runs attempting to obtain the "Internet Runaway Angel: Be Invoked" ending, which requires the maximum subscriber count and gives zero leeway for error.
22	* {{Woolseyism}}: The localization by Dragonbaby Localizations is highly praised for managing to retain the meanings of the original Japanese while also changing parts which could’ve easily been lost in translation to more closely reflect western streaming culture. Many players have expressed that they thought the game, which is Japanese-made, was western-made or even co-written because of how seamlessly the translation reads.
