About the Game

"Game of Fame" is a fictional real-life interactive narrative product with the theme of life "choices" and "survival in the entertainment industry".
The background of the story takes place between 2004 and 2024 in an imaginary world view. The gambling agreement you signed in order to realize your movie dream will be gradually involved in the whirlpool of "Vanity Fair". When you are in a dilemma, what should you do? How to "choose"? When facing difficult "choices", should you protect yourself or help others? You will return to that golden age, become a "director", and experience the life of luxury and wealth firsthand.

Choice drives life:

The core of the game is the choices made by the player, each choice will bring different story development and results. At the crossroads of fame and fortune, every choice is your script.

Multiple branch plot:

Movie audio-visual enjoyment:
