Build the most successful cinema business in the world!
Developers at Akhir Pekan Studio have crafted a first-person simulation experience that challenges players to manage and operate their own cinema business. Players take on a variety of responsibilities, such as selling tickets to customers, maintaining and upgrading the cinema, and defending against troublemakers. The game offers over 20 different movies for players to collect and showcase in their cinemas, allowing them to curate the lineup. Additionally, players can decorate the cinema space to their liking, with one reviewer praising the "lots of funny moments and movie references" infused into the customization.
As players progress through the game, they unlock the ability to upgrade their cinema facilities to accommodate more customers and improve the venue's rating to attract special patrons. Players can also recruit employees to assist with serving customers, streamlining the operational tasks. Reviewers highlight the depth of the management systems, with one noting the satisfying challenge of understanding "some things" that are not explicitly tutorialized, leading to a more rewarding experience. Beyond the cinema management, the game enables players to customize their personal living spaces, further expanding the creative avenues available. As one reviewer states, the game provides a pleasant "learning curve" that becomes more enjoyable as players grasp the various mechanics.
Surprisingly, the game also incorporates a narrative-driven experience, tasking players with restoring their grandfather's cinema to its former glory through a central storyline. Complementing this main narrative are numerous side quests and achievements for players to pursue, adding further content and challenges to the experience. Multiple reviewers praise the quality of the story and side content, with one stating that the "main story and side quests are entertaining" and another highlighting the "variety of tasks and challenges that make it enjoyable and engaging."
