What we've been playing
Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: idols, coat hangers, and the pit…
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
At first glance, the Idol Manager looks like a simple management sim about girl groups and the idol industry. You get a job as a manager and is tasked to create a new girl group that would sweep the nation. You hold auditions, train your group, release singles, and eventually put the company on the map.
However, like in real life, being in the entertainment industry is not all glitz and glamour. One moment, my group’s releasing a fun single that lands on the top 5 hottest this month and then the next, I get a notification that one of my idols is getting ratio’ed for some mishap on livestream. It’s a lovely glimpse of the idol industry – frustrating and stressful, but really nice and eye-opening.
