Moviehouse – The Film Studio Tycoon

如果垃圾游戏有另外一个名字，那么Moviehouse一定会是其中一个。可惜游戏不像电影那样容易骗钱，感谢两小时退款机制。

Don't waste your money. I know, I know... It's currently only $10.99. I mean it: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this absolute mess of a game. I recently saw an ad for another upcoming film studio production game to come out sometime in 2024 and it gave me the bug for a movie production game. I played the demo for that game and another upcoming Hollywood game. Both of those demos have more positives that this "fully released" piece of garbage. The elements of the game COULD work eventually, but not how the game currently works. The UI is often confusing and unclear as to where you are supposed to click. The order in which you make choices makes no sense. An example: You hire a writer and you must pick a genre for your script. Then, your writer gets to writing... a little while later you get a prompt to help choose the plot setting. Okay, you pick one. THEN it gives you a choice for the protagonist -- and it's seemingly some random draw of choices that may or may not have ANYTHING to do with the setting you just chose. Okay... so you pick one. THEN you pick an antagonist. And, again... just a random choice of options with zero common threads with any previous choice you made. Idiotic. So... then the script is completed and then you have to produce it. So, you have to hire a director. Then you hire a director and you choose a budget -- except it says the budget categories are "short film" and a few others. At the start of the game all you can afford is "short film." So... mind you, this is after you've already got a script. So I guess the writer wrote a short film? You then get some prompts during the filming that the editor needs help with making some random choice of how to edit something, and your choice may or may not have anything to do with the result of the film. It's just an absolute mess of a game. Not fun. More annoying/confusing/frustrating/head-scratching than anything. I only spent 37 minutes playing this and I wish I had both the time and the money back. I won't ever get the itch to play this game again. I will instead just replay the demos of the previously mentioned games and get far more enjoyment out of those.
