The community saves this game. Basically this is the revolutionary idol agency management game of all times. However the development has stopped after the release with several fixes, but there is always a community where things can be fixed without developers, or adding new contents (including some erm, you know about that) Tho would be cool if there was one more major upgrade or sequel of the game. This game has so many potential for improvement.

I jumped in the game not knowing anything except for the fact that you have to manage idols and now ive been losing sleep just trying to think on how to not go bankrupt... A bunch of bugs that i found despite the game being 4 years old. Heres a few: - No task were given after I skipped the tutorial despite being in Story mode (I didnt notice until I was a year in and was profiting a lot too...) - A single gets stuck in production whenever I drag the girls to a staff or producer. I had to cancel the single and make a new one. So far Ive only gotten 2 endings so this review might not be accurate for everyone. Either way, its a really fun game with amazing mechanics. I knew I would like the game the moment I saw it.

If you like idol culture, management games or anime you will probably like this game. I had no knowledge of the idol industry before playing, but I ended up really liking it. You can be a nice manager, give your idols room to breathe, befriend or even romance them, and help them achieve their dreams. Or you can be a strict manager, forbidding them from dating, working them to exhaustion and using blackmail to keep them in line. The choice is yours. You earn money through business deals such as photo shoots or advertisements, releasing music and organising concerts. Survival is a real struggle in the early stages, and you will probably fail several times before you find a playstyle that suits you. Late in the game it is unfortunately far too easy to make money, I would have liked more of a struggle. But remember, you have to keep your idols in line while all this is going on. Maybe a group of them will start bullying the new girl, maybe they will start secretly dating someone even though dating is forbidden, resulting in a huge scandal, or maybe they will post something stupid on social media, resulting in one of your advertising deals being cancelled. There are a lot of different random events and there is also a main story to follow. The writing and art make it worth playing through at least once. The music is okay, but nothing groundbreaking, but then again, you don't expect that from a management game. There is one thing you should know before you buy this game: There is a time freeze bug, where time stops advancing no matter what you do. To avoid this bug, NEVER destroy a room that has a trainer/manager on auto train/auto deal. If the time freeze still happens, as it did for me twice, you can uninstall and reinstall the game and it should work again. At least it did for me. But that is the only bad thing I can say about the game. Other than that, I really enjoyed it and recommend it.

despite the fact that nsfw content is a mere fraction of the game and many players may never even encounter it: this game singlehandedly ruined my steam recommendations, its all hentai now. good game tho, wish it actually got some bugfixes and balance changes

Idle Manager is an excellent game that draws you in with its surprising depth and addictive mechanics. It’s a slippery slope that makes you genuinely care about the hard work behind idol performances and the intricacies of idol culture. For the value of what you are receiving the gameplay is exceptionally engaging. Getting these bitches to stop bullying each other is stressful, while managing a fickle money situation. Just a warning: once you start playing, it’s hard to stop, and you might find yourself fully immersed in this captivating world. Bro's my relationship is taking a strain but I’m off to buy a ticket to Ano-Chan's performance in Japan. I wasn't into Idols until this game.
