3/5 ★ – ciaran's review of NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD.

I liked the promise of this game. The story of a girl that puts on a wig and makeup to stream to thousands of people. It's a game about the masks we put on in public and how to cultivate one that's not only likable but marketable. You have to find a way to be liked that doesn't scrape too much of your soul away. But then the game warps it all into edgy, drug-fueled shock value and reveals it never really respected its main character after all. Maybe there's empathy in another ending. I respect this one, but wanted something a little more grounded.
