What players say
I really wanted something like this, so I'm a little biased I guess. It's fun tho. stuff i liked - Progression is nicely paced. May be a bit fast paced for some. - Doesn't go too in depth. I can just zone out and listen to podcasts. - I like that they just use real artist's names and it's not all cringey spoof names. - Little dialogue bubbles every now and then between characters. It's never funny, but I get a kick...

Be the manager of a band. Try to navigate making songs, performing concerts, and making money. Decent.
I watched a "Dot Matrix Printer Printing a Color Hot Dog Banner. In Real Time." its 40mins long and was more entertaining than this game. -No character customisation nor band member choices. -Everything looks like its made in Flash instead of a game engine. -The game throws you straight into "touring" instead of starting small and getting into making music. -Apparently there are only 4 music genres and all 4 of them...
