A Near-Perfect FMV Filled with Twists After hearing a lot of good things about this FMV and receiving multiple recommendations from friends, I finally decided to pick it up at full price and I do not regret it one bit! Having completed the main game with 100% achievements and earning a perfect game , I feel confident sharing my experience and offering insight for those curious about this game. The Story: You play as Luo Yu , a young director who has never worked with real talent. His dream of making movies remains unfulfilled due to a lack of money, so he sticks to odd jobs to stay close to his passion. However, recurring strange dreams begin to disrupt his peaceful life, and soon several girls from those dreams start walking into Luo Yu's reality. The Characters: Gu Meng – The Standout Character For Me (Waifu) Gu Meng is a beautiful and kind-hearted soul who is completely infatuated with you and always tries her best to connect with you. She knows how to defend herself, plays pool, and even rides a motorbike. While she doesn't care much about acting, she’s willing to do it just to make you happy. One of the most touching moments is when she acknowledges that she’s a character in an FMV game but encourages you to follow your next timeline in real life, offering her best wishes for your happiness. This interaction made her feel incredibly real and was a refreshing touch. Jiang Zhiwan – The Bodyguard: Jiang Zhiwan , the personal bodyguard of Ye Wen , is a martial arts expert who used to be an action actress. Fierce and intimidating, she also has a soft and caring side that’s a treat to uncover. Her love for camping and martial arts makes her an interesting and dynamic character to explore. Lin Xiyan – The Innocent Friend: Lin Xiyan , who has a dog named "Rabbit," is shy and quiet but longs for love more than anything. She works part-time as a performance rep and has various hobbies, like ceramics, basketball, and swimming. She’s a sweet character who goes to great lengths to achieve her goals and win your heart. Ye Wen – The Gentle Boss: Ye Wen , the company heiress of the Gold Group , is the perfect balance of domineering and gentle. While she’s consumed by her work, she knows how to switch off and relax, especially around the right person. Her wealth and assertiveness make her a fascinating character who will do whatever it takes to get what—or who—she wants. Ouyang Lu – The Chinese Popstar: Ouyang Lu , a famous singer and dancer, may appear tough on the outside, but she’s extremely fragile on the inside. Despite loving her idol status, what she craves most is the perfect relationship. Her relatable thoughts and deep character make her a delight to interact with. Su Yimo – The Childhood Friend: Su Yimo is the epitome of innocence and purity in FMV s. She’s incredibly adorable and always full of energy, whether she’s helping you find a job or running around an amusement park. She’s always there with a smile, eager to take on the day, and brings joy to every moment. Her ending may be the most emotional thing I have ever seen in gaming history The Translation: The English translation is solid overall, with only a few minor issues like missing spaces between choices and untranslated texts or notes. You might want to have Google Lens handy just in case, but it doesn’t impact the overall experience too much. Phone and Exploration Mechanics: Many FMV games suffer from cumbersome mechanics like text interactions or object searching. Thankfully, Director Simulator completely scraps these mechanics, allowing you to focus purely on the story without any distractions. The Soundtrack: The soundtrack was one of the standout features for me. The songs during key scenes, as well as the mini-game tracks, are immersive and catchy! They’ll definitely get stuck in your head! Final Thoughts: Overall, Director Simulator was an incredible experience and has quickly become one of my favorite FMVs , regardless of language. The story is innovative and full of twists, keeping you on your toes and never knowing what will happen next. The characters are all well-developed and feel unique, making you laugh, cry, and invest emotionally in their journeys. Message to GOLDEN AGE: I eagerly look forward to your future projects! This game was a masterpiece , and I truly appreciate your commitment to keeping the FMV genre alive. I wish both the development team and the cast all the best in their future careers! Rating: 9/10 Highly Recommended!

An underrated FMV, I went in thinking even if it's really good, it'll mostly be on the same tier as S-tiered FMVs like Knowledge, or know Lady and Love Is All Around, I didn't expect it to be this good. This deserves to be on the same level as the S-Tiered FMVs, not because it's just a dating sim but it has time travel elements attached to the plot as well. Yes, there are bugs but overall, it was a pleasant experience and it unexpectedly made a deep impression on me, I will surely rmbr this one amongst other FMVs that I've played. Anyway, here's a quote from Director Simulator that I find interesting: If we can't catch a sunset, what can we catch 我们连夕阳都抓不住，还能抓住什么呢 The point is to live in the moment. Nothing lasts forever, so just live life to the fullest :)

After clearing all (100% progress) the chapters and character endings, here is my honest review: Characters: There's 6 character here (Gu Meng, Lin Xiyan, Su Yimo, Ouyang Lu, Ye Wen, and Jiang Zhiwan). The heart percentage is not really matter here except for Su Yimo, to unlock her ending . There are 4 focused ending that you can play later after finishing Chapter 5. Gu Meng's all ending at Chapter 5 The Story: The story starts out like many dating sims. You need a "NG+" to unlock some locked path here. There's an ending called Loop Ending to unlock the locked path later so you won't unlock it until you get this ending. Overall, the story is really amazing and mind blowing. Especially Gu Meng's story, even tho she's not my waifu. The Story makes this game stand out! It has unique plot twist. The Translation: Sorry to say the English translation doesn't feel natural, seems like direct translation but still readable (use your instinct for some scene lol). Phone messages & notes are not translated (you need google lens or else to translate it yourself). Mini Games Mechanics: There are QTE moment and many mini games here. QTE is okay, but the mini games seems to be buggy. Shooting photos here is fun tho imo :D The Cinematography: The cinematography is okay, the scenery is stand out here. The Achievement: Okay seriously guys, some achievement are bugged. You won't unlock them unless you go to achievement section first. Summary: Overall, Director Simulator was such a great experience with the immersive story, unique plot twist, and unique gameplay. Even tho there are still some bug but this game is still enjoyable. Thank you for keeping this genre alive. I wish both the development team and the cast all the best in their careers ahead. Highly Recommended!

Director Simulator ( a remake of LiAA and VFTP? ) This game is wide in features and deep in narrative. It shows what an interactive game truly is. It’s more than just a movie with multiple endings; each choice you make has an engaging and meaningful impact. I'm not sure if anyone is aware that this game seems intended as a remake of Love is All Around (LiAA) and Vanity Fair: The Pursuit (VFTP), or if it's just a coincidence. Let’s look into the detailed comparison and decide. Is this game a remake of LiAA and VFTP? 1) This game appears to intentionally replicate many of the main female characters' personalities from LiAA, and the game is called Director Simulator, which mirrors the story of VFTP, and the player character’s name is very similar to the player character's name from VFTP. 2) I realize that many of the endings in this game are twists on the endings of LiAA and VFTP, turning the less favorable endings from those games into more satisfying and favorable resolutions. 3) This appears to be a challenge to both LiAA and VFTP, as it combines elements from both games into a single game, aiming to demonstrate how it is similar to and surpasses both, particularly in its endings. Would this game succeed in meeting this challenge? Let’s explore this in detail and examine all the features. The Storyline, Options Selection and Characters 1) Like in LiAA, players face challenging decisions with multiple main female characters, each offering their own options. Choosing an option for one character increases her favorability, while not selecting options for the other characters decreases their favorability. The game effectively replicates the fun and challenging aspects of LiAA. 2) The plotline of this game is similar to that of VFTP, featuring multiple quick and death endings, certain plot points that lead to the next chapter, and introducing a new design where players can select different plotlines from a popup page This new design enhances the already praised plot structure of VFTP. Besides that, the game is designed with a plot that directs players back to Chapter 1 before reaching the end, allowing them to replay with different options after the first round. With the knowledge gained from their initial playthrough, players can now make more informed choices and select the correct options in this replay. This is an amazing storyline design—must try it yourself. 3.1) You will find that many of the main female characters' personalities in this game are exactly the same as those in LiAA. However, this game has shifted character popularity by transforming the least liked character, Zhong Zhen (from LiAA), into the most liked character, Ye Wen (in this game), according to player votes on the leaderboard. This change is driven by Ye Wen, who has emphasized her 'outer self' rather than her 'inner self', which is also part of her personality. Isn’t this a twist on creating a more favorable outcome compared to the LiAA ending? 3.2) Another example is the ending of Ouyang Lu. Her story’s ending is similar to He Xiaomeng’s (from VFTP), but in this game, it transforms the regrettable ending of VFTP into a good ending where she doesn’t regret giving up her career because she clearly knows why she made that decision. 3.3) Furthermore, the ending of Su Yimo, whose character and story are similar to Shen Huixin (from LiAA). Some players may have disliked Shen Huixin for being childish and forceful, but in this game, players do not hate Su Yimo for repeatedly acting out her fake death after found her ending. Instead, feel regret for not treating her well. 3.4) Aren't all these characters and endings similar to those in LiAA and VFTP, with a twist for a better outcome, or is it just a coincidence? The characters' personalities from a horoscope viewpoint: DS Sun Rising LiAA VFTP Ye Wen Leo Taurus Zhong Zhen Ouyang Lu Capricorn Lin Yunsi He Xiaomeng Su Yimo Aries Gemini Shen Huixin Gu Meng Sagittarius Aries Zheng Ziyan Lin Xiyan Cancer Virgo Gao Leng Scorpio Gemini Sun sign - inner self (objectives, life goal) Rising sign - outer self (actions, behavior) The QTE, Lesson, Horror, Mystery 1) It features various QTEs for photo capturing, singing, basketball, and fighting. While achieving high scores in singing and basketball can be challenging, it doesn’t affect story progression but contributes to Steam achievements. This feature is not present in LiAA and VFTP. 2) This game is a dating simulator (teaching dialogue choices for successful dates), a love simulator (focusing on deeper emotions and romantic paths), and a life simulator (covering relationships, career, and personal growth). Overall, it teaches players significant lessons, including a few big insights and many smaller ones. In contrast, LiAA is primarily a love simulator, while VFTP focuses on life simulation. 3) The game features slight horror plotlines that act as punishments for the player when they lie to the main female character. It is quite engaging and has some scary moments during these plotlines. 4) You'll find a mystery in this game; explore it yourself without spoilers. Besides that, this game really shows what an interactive game is. It’s more than just a movie with multiple endings; each choice you make has an engaging and meaningful impact. The Love Story This game offers more love stories than LiAA, and these stories teach players valuable lessons about love. However, unlike LiAA, some of the love stories here are quite complex and have a very sad narrative. 1) What if one day your loved one is getting married to someone else? This game teaches you how to take over the bride in such a painful and serious situation. 2) Marrying a superstar is similar to the earlier mention of He Xiaomeng's ending in VFTP. This game illustrates how what seems regrettable can actually become an unregrettable ending. 3) The most touching and sad ending in this game is the most painful and regrettable (without spoilers, let you find it yourself). This hits the player deeply, and after experiencing this ending, would you change to become a person who cherishes those around you more and doesn’t mind when they bother you? life is short. 4) Two more, but that should be enough for here. The narrative in this game is very rich and gives an experience that teaches the player some lessons. 5) Most of the sequence of selection options to achieve good endings in this game centers around holding on and letting go, which makes me think of the idea that "Love is like flying a kite: you need to pull and release. If you only pull, you are dominating the circumstance without giving the other person the freedom to fulfill their wishes or choices. However, you must always watch it and hold the string, pulling when necessary to maintain the connection. The other person will also consider fulfilling your wishes just as you do for them. The Conclusion and Score 1) The rich story in this game is incredible. It’s not just a game for fun; it also offers significant lessons, including a few big insights and many smaller ones. The deep stories in this game have reached the level of VFTP and would even surpass both VFTP and LiAA. 2) However, this game may not be favored by youth, as it is quite heavy on emotion. For adults, this game is rich in lessons and experiences. For younger audiences and students, Charming Hearts is the most similar game designed specifically for them. For adults, this game could be seen as surpassing both LiAA and VFTP. 12/10 (Super Masterpieces)
