New Typing Game "Typing of The Net" from NEedy Streamer Overload Launches on Steam

WSS Playground, a Japanese game developer, has announced its highly acclaimed spin-off typing game, "Typing of The Net" (originally known as "NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD: Typing of The Net"), during the INDIE Live Expo. This unique interactive novel is set to launch on Steam on January 21, 2025, and will feature a Chinese interface and subtitles.

Building on the world of the original game, "Typing of The Net" offers players a chance to engage through typing gameplay, featuring over 200 popular internet phrases. These range from nostalgic forum keywords to classic social media terms. While the English content is tailored for local audiences, the Chinese phrases primarily highlight trends from simplified Chinese internet culture, including expressions like "very yellow and violent" and "not too troublesome or tiring."

Engage with Your Favorite Streamer

In this new installment, players take on the role of an audience member interacting with the adorable streamer, Chao Tian Jiang. During her live streams, she will input keywords, and players are expected to respond by typing comments. Your typing speed and accuracy will determine your score, categorized into four levels: C, B, A, and the coveted S ranking. The faster and more accurately you type, the higher your chances of achieving that top-tier "S" rating.

Nostalgia Meets New Generations

The developers believe that "Typing of The Net" will evoke fond memories for seasoned internet users while offering fresh perspectives and enjoyment for new players. They’ve ensured that even if players encounter unfamiliar internet slang, the game will include helpful explanations to ease the learning curve.

Upcoming Releases and Exciting Features

On the same day as the typing game’s release, the original "NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD" will also be available on PS4 and PS5, allowing console gamers to experience the original story. Additionally, WSS Playground's other project, the rhythm game "Dizzy Wave Syndrome," has been postponed to 2025 as the team works on enhancing its music tracks and unique brainwashing content.

Why You Should Add It to Your Wishlist

For those interested in the quirky, meme-filled world of "Typing of The Net," adding it to your Steam wishlist is highly recommended. The combination of nostalgic internet culture and engaging gameplay promises a unique experience that appeals to a wide range of players.

Community Feedback and Anticipation

As anticipation builds for the release, community feedback on the game's concept has been overwhelmingly positive. Gamers are eager to dive into a game that not only challenges their typing skills but also celebrates internet culture in a fun and interactive way.
