<p>Wales Interactive and FMV Future have revealed <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/gamer_girl"><strong>Gamer Girl</strong></a>, a new live-action FMV game headed to Switch this September.</p>
<p>The game is said to be the first live-action title to have been entirely improvised by the cast, in a production style similar to <em>The Blair Witch Project</em> and <em>Paranormal Activity</em>. Players take on the role of a moderator for up and coming streamer ‘Abicake99’, analysing and reacting to a stream of comments in the chat while also guiding Abi to make the right choices.</p>

<p>It’s essentially a blend of micro-management and a branching story-focused game, as shown in this feature list below:</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>MANAGEMENT META GAME</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Manage the user’s comments in the chat stream</li>
<li>Choose to reward them for good behaviour & ban them for trolling</li>
<li>Unlock more powerful moderator abilities as you progress</li>
<li>Earn Candies, likes and subs to keep Abicake99’s mood positive</li>
<li>Increase Abicake99’s viewers and subscribers to keep her career on track</li>
<li>Make the channel a success to earn upgrades</li>
<li>Warn, ban and reward comments in the chat stream</li>
<li>If you fail Abi will kick you off the stream and it is GAME OVER</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>BRANCHING NARRATIVE:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Gamer Girl has multiple story paths; hundreds of choices and permutations.</li>
<li>Players help Abi choose which activities they think would further her streaming career or enhance her mood – workout sessions, gaming, cosplay, chill streams, IRL trips, board games, chibis drawing (ちび or チビ), etc.</li>
<li>Make moral choices and accept the consequences they bring. Should you encourage drama to increase her ratings or take the safe path but risk losing viewers?</li>
<li>Exchange messages with Abi and her friends. Will you help them, or do they have ulterior motives towards Abi?</li>
</ul>

<p>Publisher Wales Interactive explains that the game also tackles the impacts user comments can have on a person’s mental health.</p>
<blockquote readability="7">
<p>“Gamer Girl is about the impact user comments and actions have on a streamer’s mental health and wellbeing. The reason why FMV Future created the game was to raise the issue of the toxic environment which can often appear online behind the anonymity of a username…</p>

<blockquote readability="10">
<p>Without giving away too much, Gamer Girl is an empowering story of a female streamer who, with the help of her moderator friend, battles the trolls and — overcomes— the toxic characters in her stream…”</p>
