Last Chance in Xollywood

Last Chance in Xollywood is fantastic. The attention to detail and worldbuilding shows the craft and passion put into this game. The care put into not only the environment but also the characters just made me fall in love with everything. I've only played through once but I'm planning on playing again soon because there's just so much in this game. Genuinely can't recommend it enough. Beautifully unique. I can't believe this is free. 15/10.

Full of ridiculous scenarios and characters, this game lets you go back to select a different dialogue option which I'm so happy about so few gAMES DO THAT.
I like the people, the setting, the OST is good enough that I actually listen to it in my spare time, along with Toby Fox and Omori OSTs lol. Great replayability, three MCs to choose from, (each with their own backstories and personalities!!) and many many characters to interact with. On my first playthrough, I ended up... dating Maz?? Lol.
It's free, it's fun, just download it, twerp.

I've been burnt a few times when I saw something in Steam that sounded interesting, but tuned out to be bland or shallow. I'm happy to Last Chance in Xollywood is neither of those. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters in this story, and I found myself agonizing over a number of choices that felt significant without also feeling forced. I'm so glad I gave this creation a try! :P

(Summary) A science fiction visual novel that is a real labour of love - so many choices, so many outcomes, so much imagination , and so much humour and fun. The core game is free, but I liked it so much that I bought the optional DLC to get another distinctive main character with their unique backstory, and also to support (and thank) the developers.

What a gem - or perhaps I should say blockbuster - of a visual novel this is! Often I struggle with such games, put off by the amounts of dialogue to read, particularly if the overarching story is bland or generic. But in this case I was fascinated by the premise of being a film director who's desperate enough to seek employment with a very low budget (and sleazy) movie production company on an orbiting dysfunctional metropolis, which employs a whole range of different (and cheap) life-forms.

The choices in this game are numerous, from the life-form type and murky background of one of three directors (extended to four by the DLC), to the day-to-day managing (and juggling) of all aspects of film production - will the main character try to prioritise staying within budget, cast and crew happiness & welfare, artistic merit, story depth, special effects, etc, and what will they sacrifice to achieve those ends? Their own back story will also intrude as will the demands of financial backers, unions, and the very determined owner of the production company.

There are achievements galore (51 in the free game), many of which are for doing extremely well (or extremely badly) in each aspect of the film production process, and also for forming excellent (or toxic) personal relationships with the owner and with the cast & crew members. The DLC only adds one achievement (ending the story with the 4th main character). Besides finding so much of the dialogue very funny, I was also intrigued by trying to work out which combination of choices would result in which outcomes. After 13 hours play I'm still trying to identify the set of actions to get the final achievement I need..!

I have really enjoyed Last Chance in Xollywood, and I heartily recommend it. Why not give it a try?

AMAZING!! i love Zink and Vanilla, and the others are great too <3

sick game
