Petit Game Collection vol.1

If you are buying this hoping for a highly interactive and fun extension of the Needy Streamer Overload universe, you need to temper your expectations. It does have that toxic charm from the actual game, but the execution across the collection is annnoying, mechanically lazy, and severely lacking in actual gameplay. The first game, Ame's Happy Happy Dating Game, is a visual novel that serves as a masterclass in writing codependency. Ame is super manipulative, using her cuteness to gaslight you while P-chan just eats it up and romanticizes her red flags. It's a spot-on look at two toxic people making each other worse. However, getting to those good character moments is a chore. The pacing is awful, leaving you to read boring walls of text filled with edgy, pseudo philosophical rambling and useless exposition dumps. It also commits the ultimate visual novel sin of tell, don't show. You will read text describing a heavy thud while staring at a static sprite and listening to a looping, boring soundtrack instead of getting an animation or proper sound design. The backgrounds rarely even match the text being shown on screen, like Ame raving about a retro game shop window while standing in a blurry, empty office hallway. To make matters worse the UI is horrible. The developers just pasted thin white text directly over light backgrounds without a proper text box, meaning you will be squinting the entire time (atleast in my case). The visual variety is so nonexistent that it might as well have been a whole ass book. Next is the KAngel Shooter. The Paper Mario-style pop up art is legitimately sick and easily the best-looking part of the entire collection. Unfortunately, it features genuinely the worst control scheme I have ever seen in a PC shooter. You use WASD to move and Z to shoot. Let me repeat that: WASD and Z. Trying to dodge and shoot at the same time is basically finger gymnastics. It's pure torture. Not that it really matters since the gameplay is completely brain dead anyway. The enemy nerds just run in a straight line. You don't even need to shoot them, you can just walk right past them and they'll mind their own business. There's zero enemy variety, and even the boss is a total joke with super predictable patterns. Stages 2 and 3 are literally just Stage 1 with a new coat of paint and the exact same boring loop, making the upgrade system feel completely useless. Then there is the ping pong whatchamacallit block breaker game. This is just a bare bones clone of Breakout or Arkanoid where you bounce a ball to break blocks. The grand reward for this is that the blocks cover up art of KAngel in a bikini. It is just cheap fan service that plays like a basic mid 2000s flash game. To make it even lazier, the entire mini game is literally only in Japanese. The developers did not even bother localizing it into English, which is a glaring red flag for the whole package. Finally, there is KAngel's Room. Calling this a mini-game is a massive stretch. While the retro pixel art is pretty, this is literally just an interactive credits screen. You click on the developers' names to see who they are and how they contributed, and that is it. It is a glorified menu pretending to be playable content. The art style is cute and the writing is as toxic as ever, but honestly, the whole collection feels like it was made as a part of a 3 day game jam that the developers thought it was good to recycle and fart out onto the Steam store with zero regard for the actual player experience. Pick it up only if you are a die hard fan who does not mind straining your eyes reading fluff, crippling your hand with terrible controls, playing unlocalized fan service games, and paying for an interactive credits menu.

如果你想知道为什么这游戏是明摆着圈钱来的 Alliance Arts 并没有参加游戏开发。WSS负责了所有的游戏内容，以及定价。 如果你想要 NSO 的补充剧情：稍稍有点遗憾，这里也几乎没有。 游戏本身并算不上好玩。 你当然可以抱着支持 Alliance Arts 的心态来买，但钱全都会进 WSS 的口袋里。 只有在超级便宜的捆绑包下才会考虑买吧？

they just made some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ honestly each of the games is kinda amazing but they're really small so it makes sense why they're grouped together. the VN is the longest of the games.

This game included multiple fun, and honestly replayable minigames! However I do truly believe this game is best to purpose on sale.

I enjoyed this short little game because im super obsessed with NSO but it is awfully short. I enjoyed seeing more Ame and enjoyed the other mini games :)

电子谷子，买着玩还可以

I'd like to think I'm a mildly fast reader tbf, since the Ame dating sim is definitely the highlight of the experience, but I still saw all the content Petit Game Collection had to offer in less than an hour. Can't complain too much I suppose, since it's only the price of a burger at some fast food joint, but even at its historical low of -30% I can only really recommend this to *the* most die hard NSO fans. Definitely hit where it was aiming in terms of its presentation, though

ame and kangel yuri selfcest game next

Probably not worth it for it's price, and the translation is buggy especially during the mini-game, Dont Die, KAngel. We get to know a bit more about Ame and P-chan however during Ame's Happy Happy Dating Game so I was pleased. I LOVED KAngel as Alice from AliceSoft! It was nice to see as an AliceSoft enjoyer. Cute little homage! Definitely aim for it when discounted or bundled as it's only an hour long and VERY easy.

i absolutely adored needy streamer overload and was really excited to play this minigame collection. going into it, i knew that the visual novel had the most content and i was perfectly fine with that. but actually playing it i was pretty disappointed, and the other two minigames made my whole experience even less enjoyable. if you loved NSO... i honestly cant recommend getting this game. at least not at full price. what i really didnt like about the VN, is how much personality p-chan haD in it. i know they HAVE to have one cuz duh player character in a dating sim. but it really takes away from how p-chan IS the player in the original game... there are no defining features about their personality aside from the few times you can pick what they say. i wish there was more to the dating sim option wise than just picking where to go on the date... but even then i still would have been irritated, because we are suddenly able to hear the thoughts of a faceless, nameless protagonist that is MADE for the player to project onto. what i was so excited for about the VN... was that i assumed it would be from Ame's POV. i skim read the description and didnt read that it was a dating sim... and i understand the nature of this mini game collection is to take on 3 different genres, one of those being dating sim, which FITS because of the original game and Ame's relationship with the player in the main game... but it just. ugh. i couldnt stand it and along the lines of it being a bite sized game in a mini game collection, so this is a more halfhearted complaint, the writing in the VN was just terrible. im sorry. it was so r/iam14andthisisdeep to me . obviously there are moments like that in some of the main games endings but the edginess in the VN and the ♥♥♥♥ ame was saying. im sorry. my standards are NOT high when it comes to video games . but since i loved NSO so much i really just can not deal with how much this collection sucked to me. i could have handled the corniness if it felt earned but it just really didnt hit for me in the slightest i also experienced some technical difficulties with the VN, specifically after starting a completely new save from the beginning. idk if this is just me but after the first time ame tells you to take her out on a date and the options are first shown to you, one of the options was greyed out as if id already picked it? when i hadnt? perhaps thats just a fourth wall breaking thing that went over my head (and if that is the case i dont really care for it but whatever) but what WAS annoying was the fact that all the text after picking an option on this NEW SAVE was blue to indicate that i had already read it, even though it was all new to me... and i couldnt access the menu to change the speed in which the apparently "already read" text appeared. which was extremely irritating. there were also some grammatical errors in the dating sim (mostly Ame's text being inexplicably uncapitalised?) that i did find kind of charming initially... but a visual novel with grammatical errors is not something you want to play, is it? i understand it was translated from japanese into english, but i really wish there was more care put into that aspect. if it was a stylistic choice... for me personally it didnt go over that well. HOWEVER. its not that big a deal and i wasnt that annoyed when i first noticed it, but after being disappointed by the VNs writing that just soured it all further. usually im not the kind of person to care about that sort of thing, or the technical difficulties i previously mentioned i really was expecting so much from the VN. one of the good things about it is the art... but on the topic of that. the first time i opened the game, four of the CGs were visible to me... 1 was the title screen, but 3 were CGs that would show up if you played through the game? why can i see them when i havent even started the game???? usually i dont care to get annoyed over little things, but the writing and premise being so stupid to me everything added up and left a bitter taste in my mouth. the VN and everything else in the collection felt like a big waste of time and money to me. the bullet hell was okay. i didnt really like it but thats just because i dont like bullet hells in general. its the most visually interesting game and the art style was really cute. but it was super duper boring. and overall i didnt care for it but there wasnt much to get annoyed at. just very meh. and a waste of my time the angel breakout game is... eh. its simple and stupidly easy but the art is nice. i dont really care that it wasnt translated into english but i understand why other people might. it took me 3 minutes to beat and thats only because i messed around when i first started it and lost all my lives on purpose. i liked the aesthetic of this mini game the most though overall i dont think this game is worth buying. if you care about ames character the visual novel isnt worth it at all and i was sorely disappointed in it... it doesnt add much to her character and what it does with P-chan as i previously stated... Urgh. the other two games are boring. i think the petit games collection sucks!!!! i will buy volume two though because i do so love ame :( hopefully its better than this. another minor complaint i have is NOT ENOUGH AME!!!! I DONT CARE THAT SHE GOT HER OWN DATING SIM!!! THERES NEVER ENOUGH AMEEEEEE
