Hollywood Visionary

Very enjoyable, especially if you're a movie aficionado. Competent writing. Relatively short, but with a very high replay value due to the multiple choices that change the outcomes of events.

A great experience, worthy of multiple playthroughs. While the writing may not have been entirely immersive for the time period, I appreciated the dive into real world historical politics, with regards to queerness and censorship in the film industry.

Really fun! Captures Hollywood in the 1950's very well.

Engrossing, very well-written interactive story with many, many choices throughout which customize your journey from starting up a film studio to screening and reading a review of your first independent film. You have control over almost all of the details involved, and keep track of stats to see what your film is becoming and how you're treating your crew as well as yourself. It's like reading a really good book being written while you get to control its writer. Highly recommended! Edit, a long time later: there are no crazy story branches that take it to a completely different section, it's more a case of there being enough choices along the linear path to make it really interesting, even worth multiple play-throughs. I find myself coming back to this one.

I really hope whoever wrote this game reads this review, because I want something from you: Make a Movie Studio sim game. Forget the story, relationships, etc. The BEST part of this game was all the choices I had to make managing the project, choices that often felt cheaped compared to the constant over the top plot contrivances. The choices for the movie were great, though. Really, everything about them. I am recommending this, NOT for the story, but for how delightful it was to follow the development of the movie and see how it turned out.

Enjoyable game, from an interesting time period. Lots of neat little tidbits for those who love Hollywood's Golden Age. Could have done with a bit more of an epilogue to round the story out, but altogether, very good.

My favorite Choice of game! great era, great references, great story, great possibillities,... Just a great game!
