Plot Twist Steam Charts & Stats

The idea of manage your write career is great, but most of the game is just trying to click on bubbles.

You can more or less finish the game within 2 hours. It's just making up titles and clicking on boubles. That's it. And eventho it's such a basic (and boring) game, it can't run of older computer. If you want someone like this, play game dev instead

this game is a grind and a repetitive one at that. Game Dev Story and other indie management games like this are meant to be quite casual and more about enjoying the progress of your little squad and feeling like a manager of sorts, but the sheer panic of nervously trying to click all of these skill points while avoiding the dozens of negative points AND with a cursor that feels laggy and doesn't click what you intend on clicking half the time really ruins the experience. in the beginning you don't make much progress at all, even when scoring multiple "perfect" projects. the events in the game are just losing or gaining xp, and the competitions are a good concept but i would have imagined a game based on literature might make you type something creative, when in reality you just type out common sayings. unfortunately, despite all of the systems the game appears to have, your success depends on two things: finding three genre combinations that work, and selling as many novels as possible. as soon as i could sell more than 100 copies per project, the entire game's economy was broken and money was no longer an issue, and even with the lowest publisher that's supposed to have like 2% of the market share i sold out of 10 millions books. once you start selling more copies you don't need to use the marketing feature the game has, you don't need more translations or even that many genres or features of your writing, and the grind becomes getting more xp so you can unlock stuff for achievements. i really hope this game can get more updates and have a genuine system to it. right now the cursor is broken and blends into the background too much, there aren't any xp skills or developments that make getting xp points easier, at least two of the achievements aren't triggering despite me overachieving them [the 5 translations and writing 20 books in one playthrough], and as soon as the game was broken nothing else mattered. unless some serious updates come out, i can't recommend, even though i love the idea and aesthetic :(
