This was miserable. Needy Streamer Overload was a fun and dark VN, but this was such a cop out and a lazy cash grab trading off of its IP. KAngel is on your screen, but that's really about it. Her lines are as generic as they get, losing every single bit of her personality that made her interesting in the original game. Half of the "internet slangs" are either incredibly niche or just made up. You will be going "What? That's an internet slang?" A LOT. You get a definition of what they mean, most of the time anyway. Sometimes the game simply just make a joke off of the word, and you'll still have no idea what it meant. Not that it matters, because 90% of the time you will not have time to read any of the definitions. And then there are words like "goodnightsweetprince", "allyourbasearebelongtous", "pressftopayrespects", all of which you are expected to type out within what feels like three seconds, while you're given about 10 seconds for a random eight-lettered Japanese word. There is almost no balance whatsoever. The typing portion of the game can be finished in about 20 minutes (All achievements) if you're incredibly skilled at typing. But if you're not, getting an S-rank is either going to make you want to smash your keyboard repeatedly or simply undoable. It took me about an hour of repeated trying to get every S-rank. And I consider myself to be semi-decent at typing quickly. Skip this one. I got this on a sale, and even then I'm going to ask for a refund.
