This game is fantastic! I do love the classic Hollywood setting, and perhaps that's a bias of mine, but it's executed really well. Creating a script outline and establishing my character intuitively through the early interactions really felt like I had a hand in establishing some of the tone. I resisted the urge to restart after a couple of choices I regretted making, but decided to push forward. I'm glad I did. Living with these choices is what really seemed to bring the drama to life. I was very emotionally invested by the end.
The writing is great. It situates you fully in the world and captures your imagination and there's not a lot of fat on the prose, which keeps the momentum up.
Definite recommend for those who love a classic Hollywood setting. Good suspense/thriller elements.

I loved this game! It really captures the vibe of vintage Hollywood, and some of the choices hurt to make (in a good way). I've read a lot about the movie industry, and I even wrote my own interactive fiction game about it (Last Chance in Xollywood), so I really appreciated all the small details in this game. The writer really knows his stuff!

This is a banger narrative choice game set in the Red Scare of Hollywood. If your computer exists, it can probably run this game. I've beaten it a few times, it's a very quick play. Still love it. Full endorse if you like the genre, 10/10.
