I felt cured, rested and healed for 3h

intellectual game

One of the best narrative/puzzle game I have ever played. Not only it is artistically and musically beautiful, but the story and the univers is rich and deep and the character well developed.

I probably miss some good content from side quests, since I really wanted to know more about the main story.

After almost 20h in 2 days, I give my feedback on the game.

Here is for me the strength of the game:

• The game is really addictive
  
• The story is interesting and the author are serious, but the quality of dialogue itself can be grandly improve to make it feel more realistic, more authentic.
  
• Gameplay is solid and has a lot of things to take in consideration (Idols, Staff, Single, Events, Media...)
  
• The tutorial is excellent
  
• A lot of objectives (story, daily mission level, award) that are crossed and don't feel redundant

But Idol Manager has some bad points that can be "easily" improved;

• The difficulty is weird and particular. It is really hard on start but it is getting easier and easier. I don't know if it is bad point, because the notoriety helps to have less work and requires less tryhard.
  
• The UI and the lack of QoL is one of the biggest issue of the game. Some actions requires too much clics, all elements are too big (on a 1080p monitor). The design itself is good and clear. I don't understand why the calendar with quests and daily planning is hided the most of time.
  
• I regret the lack of some possibilities like better Single management ("remove" flops, favorite hits,...), better graduated idol following, checking stats and evolution of some stuffs (media, café, theatre...)
  
• I also hope they'll be more content (more random dialogues, more bar recipes, more streaming content/management, more idol design, more possibilities to unlock automated management further in game)
  
• Some tools looks too much late game (like upgrade a staff member, or media level 8 or more)
