About the Game 🎭​

Second Shot Stardom - Prelude is a narrative management sim where you play as a rookie talent manager exiled by corporate HQ. You are given one washed up actor and 24 weeks to make both of you matter to the industry.

✦ While the title says "Prelude", this is a stand-alone complete experience ✦

Every week you review project offers for your artist, schedule his five work slots, tackle problems when situations come up, and settle the books.

There are no easy wins. Every decision compounds.

Playtime: ~40 mins - 1 hour per run. Multiple endings.

Features​

  • Weekly scheduling puzzle📋 — balance short gigs (fast money, high burnout) against long projects (slow build, lasting depth)🏆
  • Stats to manage — your talent's Passion, Buzz, Depth, and your own Capital & Credibility
  • Dynamic events with real consequences — narrative moments that shift stats and change your options
  • Multiple distinct endings🏆 — your choices shape what your artist becomes: rising star, variety personality, internet celebrity, behind-the-scenes artisan, and more
