If I could post a mixed recommendation I would. So thats why its a thumbs up, but a small one. I like the idea of the game, and the mini games when writing something. Also the ranking of writers is fun to me. But i have one big issue, the progression. The game is divided into rounds, that you have to win to be able to continue. But you have to work really efficient to reach these goals. (Atleast it felt that way to me) There is little room to screw around. Because if one of your writing products fails, its very hard to still win the round. This does not invite to explore and try out mechanics. Because you can only write certain writing products each round. If you write a screenplay in a round, then its of little use in the next round where you have to write books. The researchpoints invested in better screenplays turn useless. In my opinion this could be easily fixed in several ways. Make rounds last longer, or be able to write whatever you want, whenever you want. Or if you fail a round, that this does not mean you instantly fail the campaign and have to start the round again. Al the other parts of the game are fun to me. But since the progression is so important I feel mixed about it.
Pretty unique concept, and it works well enough. Yes, requiring several months to write one article is ridiculous by real-life standards, but it's also a game, suspend your disbelief a little. Anyway, there are many different types of publications you can write, which offer different mini games. If you replayed it a lot, it would probably get repetitive, but this certainly works for a few playthroughs. Are the mini games ideal? Perhaps not. Sometimes the answers seem arbitrary. They certainly are somewhat arbitrary for the books. I highly recommend doing research whenever possible because it seems to make a big difference, even when it doesn't actually give you useful hints. That said, the game does seem absurdly easy, at least in the career mode. It crashed on me a few times for reasons I can't discern, but I didn't lose much, and otherwise it worked perfectly fine, so that's annoying but not catastrophic. Overall, I'd say it's a nice game.
The player is a writer who progresses through career rounds, competing against other computer-controlled rivals. Each round has specific winning conditions (e.g., writing the best advertisement, writing the best fanfiction, etc.). It's a game similar to Game Dev Tycoon and other tycoon games. It's a fun pastime, but it doesn't have much substance. Consider buying it if you're interested in tycoon games or literary themes. 6/10. Pros : [*]Similar mechanics to other tycoon games, but with a different theme, focused more on reading and writing. Overall, it doesn't add much to the genre. [*]There's quite a lot of content for the price. [*]Parodies of well-known authors make the gameplay more interesting. Neutral : [*]The writing time for the projects is unrealistic. For example, the character takes 13 weeks to write a newspaper article, and then has to sleep for 11 weeks to recover. This odd time scale sometimes caught my attention and broke the immersion. [*]Minigames are interesting and relate to what's being done (e.g., in the translation minigame you actually translate something, in the editing minigame you edit). This connects the minigames to real knowledge and skills. However, they can be a bit demanding. Cons : [*]Like other games in this genre, combos depend heavily on guessing what the creators think works best, and not necessarily what would be best in reality. In that sense, it’s like a puzzle. [*]References to pop culture or books won't necessarily appeal to everyone. For example, I've never read Lord of the Rings, so I don't know which fanfics would be best. Most of it is manageable without relevant knowledge, however. [*]Some bugs. There's even a well-known one, from what I've seen in discussions: it's not possible to unlock other ways to rest if you're playing in free mode. [*]The time between rounds is a little too short in campaign mode; it feels like I'm always rushing. [*]One pet peeve is that whenever an action is completed, the clock keeps running, and there's a delay before you can pause again, meaning that if you're on maximum speed, you'll always lose a week before you can pause. [*]It would be better if the fan mail interactions were more developed; it's a shame you can only give a single response.
