Last Chance in Xollywood

Kinda helped me in passing my film direction exam, not kidding

Loved the characters, the art, and the music. Keep up the good work!

I didn't expect the game to be free, so big props for that! According to the store page, the game is an RPG, simulation, VN, and a bunch of other things, but it's really just a linear visual novel with a bit of RNG. I was concerned at first that the intro was a bit overlong, only to realize that this apparently IS the entire game! Why is this important? Well, in the dev's previous games, the gameplay itself went a long way towards making the alien setting seem genuine and alive. Here, because the game is all dialogue and exposition, everything feels as fake as the movie sets you're filming on. Better visual novels find ways to keep the player immersed, but here everything feels sort of thin and superficial. Lest you think I just don't like visual novels, even ones that are as on-rails as this one, the writing itself is definitely part of the problem. You play as an alien, but there don't seem to be any real differences between the different alien species, or between aliens and humans for that matter. This story may as well take place on Earth in the near future and it still wouldn't change much. Once in a while you can make a choice, but the "good" choices don't really feel that good, and the bad outcomes just feel a bit cheap. Dialogue feels wooden, or forced in an after-school special (or B movie!) kind of way, which while very meta, doesn't exactly make the game any better. I also noticed some spelling / grammar mistakes, but I assume they will be ironed out eventually. So why am I recommending this game? Well aside from the fact that it is free, there does seem to be a bit of replay value with the multiple characters and other branching paths. If you like the dev's other games, I figure this is at least worth one playthrough.

Bu bilim kurgu RPG/görsel romanda, düşük bütçeli bir film stüdyosunda dünya dışı bir film yönetmenisiniz. Filmi zamanında ve bütçenin altında bitirmek için kapitalizme, yolsuzluğa ve eksantrik iş arkadaşlarınıza karşı mücadele edin.

I wasn't expecting much of a free Steam game with cutesy graphics, but this fantastic little VN blew me away. The story focuses on the overworked cast and crew of a zero-budget grindhouse flick, in a setting that's part Mass Effect, part Cyberpunk, and a little Aggretsuko. The characters feel well-written and real, and so do the stakes, which is rare for any videogame. Definitely recommend a playthrough.

My friend who I play CS:GO with said if I post a review on Last chance in Xollywood and it gets 75 likes and 30 Awards that he will buy me a RTX 3060 and 1 Kilo of Lemon . So im just gonna leave this here. Help a brotha

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.
