It's just our legislators helping to kick off Striketober! But seriously this is a terrible pain in the ass for anyone who actually depends on government services (which on some level is pretty much all of us).
This is brother and sister Yeti and Sassy (short for Sasquatch). Yeti has only one eye.

And confirmed! https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/26/23891835/wga-contract-summary-ai-streaming-data
Now, studios will have to provide the WGA with actual data. Specifically "the total number of hours streamed, both domestically and internationally, of self-produced high-budget streaming programs." That means Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon, and the other streamers won't be able to invent weird metrics or meaningless self-referential rankings to give to the WGA.
This from https://deadline.com/2023/09/wga-strike-officially-end-leaders-approve-tentative-deal-1235556919/ looks promising:
“The Companies agree to provide the Guild, subject to a confidentiality agreement, the total number of hours streamed, both domestically and internationally, of self-produced high budget streaming programs (e.g., a Netflix original series),” the WGA added.
Any news on whether streaming services will have to release view numbers? Still seems like that would be a must for calculating residuals.
Project Zomboid is less narrative than what you're looking for, I think, but when you start again in the same world you can find your previous character as a zombie.
