Streams
Streams are a unique desktop activity, serving as the main way through which Ame-chan can increase her follower count. They are an essential aspect of the gameplay loop that allows the player to unlock several endings and events. On the other hand, streams will typically give Ame a significant increase in detrimental stats. The player must carefully manage Ame in order to properly reap the rewards of streams.
There are 12 different topics for streams that can be unlocked in the Stream tab. Each stream in this tab has five different levels to it, with each consecutive level typically netting more followers than the prior level. Scripted streams cannot be unlocked through the Stream tab. Each stream has a unique set of dialogue and stat changes associated with it.
Stream Ideas
To unlock a stream in the Stream tab, the player will usually have to perform its associated desktop activity. Activities that unlock streams are marked by a exclamation mark icon. Once the appropriate activity has been done, Ame will text the player on JINE, talking about how it gave her inspiration for a stream. Then, a pop-up window labelled "Epiphany" will appear, showing which stream the player has unlocked.
Higher levels of a stream topic cannot be unlocked unless the player has already experienced the prior level of that stream topic. For example, Chat & Chill 2 cannot be unlocked if the player has yet to perform Chat & Chill 1. Additionally, every stream past level 2 is subject to a follower milestone requirement. The player cannot unlock level 3+ of a stream topic until they meet the needed requirements.
- Level 3: 10k followers
- Level 4: 100k followers
- Level 5: 250k followers
It should be noted that certain streams cannot be unlocked through a desktop activity. Internet Angel streams, for example, have unique follower milestone requirements. Lastly, Internet Angel streams are the only topic where the player can unlock higher levels before performing their prior levels. If the player is not careful, this may permanently bar them from experiencing certain levels of Internet Angel.
Stream Gameplay
The player can perform normal streams during Night of the current day. Once a stream has been confirmed, Ame will begin her KAngel transformation sequence. This can be skipped. KAngel will then appear on her webcam, speaking to her followers as they leave behind various messages in the stream chat. As KAngel continues to speak, a progress bar will track the remaining length of the stream. The player can change the stream's speed to their liking. Once a stream concludes, KAngel's end card will typically appear. Ame will then make two twits, one on her public Tweeter account for KAngel, and another on her private Tweeter account. A stream's stat effects will apply at this point, causing Ame to receive followers and other stat changes. Normal streams can be skipped at any time.
The player has several ways to directly interact with Ame's ongoing stream. Deleting certain comments will apply -1 stress, reducing the stream's total stress intake. It should be noted that this only affects Ame's preexisting pool of stress. For example, if Ame has 0 stress when a stream begins, deleting comments will not serve any functional purpose. The stream's stress gain can never be changed. There is also no penalty for deleting innocent comments.
The player can also highlight superchats, shown as comments highlighted in a vibrant color. A maximum of two superchats can be highlighted for KAngel to read at the end of the stream, eliciting a reaction from her. Superchats will only yield flavor text and do not offer any gameplay effects. If a player has already selected two superchats and tries to select another one, the oldest selected superchat will be overwritten. If this happens, the overwritten superchat cannot be highlighted again.
Some streams can bar the player from deleting comments or highlighting superchats altogether. When this occurs, the chat will be greyed out, and text will display "We're not reading comments for this stream." These static streams occur on level 5 of every streaming topic. They also occur on every level of the Internet Angel topic.

Stream-based Endings
Four of the twelve stream topics are unique in that their level 5 streams will unlock certain endings.
- Painful Future will begin immediately after streaming Breakdown Stream 5: "I AM LEGEND".
- Fallen Angel will begin immediately after streaming Sexy Stream 5: "I'll be in something that begins with P and ends in O!"
- Welcome To My Religion is unlocked after streaming Conpiracy Theories 5: "The Light". The ending itself does not begin until the player uses magic paper during Noon.
- Galactic Express is unlocked after streaming Netlore 5: "KAngel". The ending itself does not begin until the player overdoses on any drug during Noon, before going out to the Galactic Rail at Night.
Although the game displays stat changes for Breakdown Stream 5 and Sexy Stream 5, Ame will never receive them, as they result in an immediate GAME OVER.
Scripted Streams
These streams have completely different unlock requirements from normal streams. They will usually, but not always, cause a GAME OVER, preventing any stat changes. Most of these streams are also static. They mainly serve a narrative purpose, and as such, are not visible on the Stream tab.
- Ame's Day 1 stream
- Cucked stream
- Two Darkness streams
- Several Internet Overdose streams
- Welcome To My Religion stream
- Galactic Express stream
- There Are No Angels stream
- (Un)happy End World stream
- Do You Love Me? stream
- Two DARK ANGEL streams
- Internet Runaway Angel: Be Invoked stream
Stream Calculations
The followers gained from performing streams is dependent on several factors and calculations. Stream calculations can be broken down into several steps.
- Check the base follower multiplier.
- Multiply the BFM with the player's current follower count. This result yields the base followers gained, or BFG.
- Check the stream follower multiplier.
- Multiply the SFM with the BFG. This results in the stream followers gained, or SFG.
- If applicable, multiply the SFG with any generic stream bonuses.
- If applicable, multiply the SFG with any specific stream bonuses.
First, the player checks for their BFM. This determines which calculation will be used on their current amount of followers.
- If the player has <10k followers, BFG is calculated as 0.01 * x.
- If the player has 10k+ followers, BFG is calculated as 25 * log_10(x).
The variable x represents the player's current followers.
Once the BFG is known, the player must then check a stream's SFM. This information cannot be viewed in-game, but has been datamined by other players. The table below displays the SFM values, emotional stat changes, and other effects from applicable streams. Note that every stream will yield +1 Communication Bonus.
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chat & Chill | 1 SFM, +20 stress | 4 SFM, +20 stress | 8 SFM, +20 stress | 16 SFM, +20 stress | 48 SFM, +20 stress |
| Letsplay | 3 SFM, +18 stress, +1 Gamer Girl | 6 SFM, +18 stress, +1 Gamer Girl | 9 SFM, +18 stress, +1 Gamer Girl | 20 SFM +18 stress, +1 Gamer Girl | 40 SFM, +18 stress, +1 Gamer Girl |
| Nerd Talk | 2 SFM, +14 stress | 6 SFM, +14 stress | 12 SFM, +14 stress | 18 SFM, +14 stress | 30 SFM, +14 stress |
| Conspiracy Theories | 25 SFM, +20 stress, +8 mental darkness, +1 Rabbit Hole | 25 SFM, +20 stress, +8 mental darkness, +4 Rabbit Hole | 25 SFM, +20 stress, +8 mental darkness, +8 Rabbit Hole | 25 SFM, +20 stress, +8 mental darkness, +20 Rabbit Hole | 25 SFM, +20 stress, +8 mental darkness, +40 Rabbit Hole |
| Netlore | 3 SFM, +20 stress | 6 SFM, +20 stress | 9 SFM, +20 stress | 20 SFM, +20 stress | 40 SFM, +20 stress |
| ASMR | 10 SFM, +24 stress, +1 mental darkness | 14 SFM, +24 stress, +1 mental darkness | 20 SFM, +24 stress, -4 affection, +4 mental darkness | 30 SFM, +24 stress, -8 affection, +4 mental darkness | 40 SFM, +24 stress, -12 affection, +8 mental darkness |
| Sexy Stream | 30 SFM, +28 stress, -15 affection, +8 mental darkness | 32 SFM, +28 stress, -15 affection, +8 mental darkness | 35 SFM, +28 stress, -15 affection, +8 mental darkness | 40 SFM, +28 stress, -15 affection, +8 mental darkness | Starts Fallen Angel |
| Angel Explains | 2 SFM, +14 stress | 4 SFM, +14 stress | 8 SFM, +14 stress | 12 SFM, +14 stress | 30 SFM, +14 stress |
| KAngel Tries Stuff | 4 SFM, +18 stress | 8 SFM, +18 stress | 12 SFM, +18 stress | 16 SFM, +18 stress | 20 SFM, +18 stress |
| Breakdown Stream | 20 SFM, +22 stress, +8 mental darkness, +1 Impact | 25 SFM, +22 stress, +8 mental darkness, +1 Impact | 40 SFM, +22 stress, +8 mental darkness, +1 Impact, 3 day hiatus | 30 SFM, +22 stress, +8 mental darkness, +1 Impact | Starts Painful Future |
| Sponsorships | 10 SFM, +18 stress | 15 SFM, +18 stress | 20 SFM, +18 stress | 25 SFM, +18 stress | 30 SFM, +18 stress |
| Internet Angel | 25 SFM | 25 SFM | 25 SFM | 25 SFM | 50 SFM, stress no longer gained from streams |
| Darkness | 10 SFM, +10 mental darkness | 10 SFM, +10 mental darkness | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Once the SFM is known, the player must then multiply the SFM by the BFG. This result yields the SFG, which is the absolute minimum amount of followers that will be gained after a stream.
Next, the player must check for any generic stream bonuses. These stream bonuses apply to any stream, regardless of the topic.
- Stream Streak Bonus is calculated as (1 + x) * SFG.
- Pre-Stream Alert is calculated as 1.2 * SFG, if you have at least 1 Pre-Stream Alert. It does not stack with additional Pre-Stream Alerts.
- Communication Bonus is calculated as (1 + 0.1 * x) * SFG.
The variable x represents the amount of a bonus the player has racked up.
Finally, the player must check for any specific stream bonuses. These stream bonuses only apply to certain streams.
- Gamer Girl affects Letsplay.
- Cinephile affects Nerd Talk.
- Impact affects Breakdown Stream and Darkness.
- Experience affects Sexy Stream and ASMR.
- Rabbit Hole affects every stream, but can only be obtained through Conspiracy Theories.
Every specific stream bonus yields a positive effect for the player. Rabbit Hole is the only exception, serving as a penalty multiplier.
- The positive bonuses are calculated as (1 + 0.5 + x) * SFG.
- Rabbit Hole is calculted as (1 - 0.01 * x) * SFG.
The variable x represents the amount of a bonus the player has racked up.
Conflicting Displays
Recent patches have updated the manner in which the value of generic and specific stream bonuses are displayed to the player. Hovering over a desktop activity will display the pre-calculated value of a stream bonus, whereas hovering over a stream will display the exact value of a stream bonus.
For example, if the player hovers over the Tweeter desktop activity, the game will display Pre-Stream Alert as going into 1, which is its pre-calculated value.
However, when hovering over a stream, the game will display the Pre-Stream Alert as 1.2, which is its exact value.
The former display requires the player to calculate the value themselves. In this example, the player would have to know that Pre-Stream Alert is calculated as "1.2 * SFG" if the bonus is applicable.
However, the latter display informs the player of its exact value, 1.2, which removes the need for any calculations.
