You have a simple action where you can have your idol group perform and get you a little bit of money that most likely will maybe barely cover the rent for that one space. Surely, there are good ways of making money though, right? Not really. That immediately puts you in trouble as you now have to pay the salaries of all your new employees including idols, but you also have to pay rent for at least one space.
So far this isn’t too bad except this costs quite a bit of money (you do have a large sum to start with) and you have to build one of these on a floor that requires rent. Each of these rooms also requires a staff member to work them. You then have to build two offices (one for you and one for another manager), a recording studio, and a dance studio as your core. He helps you get started with the process of starting up your offices by giving you one floor of his building to use rent free. Then, you meet the man who is serving as your financial investor who welcomes you and is very friendly and generous. The start of the story for Idol Manager has you meeting a shadowy figure who warns you of a man you’re set to go into business with. I’ll do my best to better break things down now. What I mean by that is that the dark comedy is that you realize you cannot be successful in this game.
Sadly, based on some reviews I’ve read on the Steam store combined with my experience, Idol Manager is either poorly done or extremely meta. In my hours playing this game, I did find the premise to be fun and I can definitely see it being a little addictive for people. I do enjoy a fair number of these games though and it was billed as a “dark comedy business sim”. Reviewing these management games can be really tricky as it can be hard to tell if it’s designed poorly or if I’m just bad at it.
