“I have really, really enjoyed this game. It's simple enough gameplay mechanics but I find it so fun! If you care about achievements there's enough replayability. The story isn't super compelling, but I'm not playing…”
“is this the best game ive played? no. is it a great game? also no. is it fun? yeah. this game is the definition of "wait for it to be on sale". i got this thing for a dollar and im having a good time, but if i payed 16…”
“I struggled to pick between recommend and not. I decided to go with recommend because for the most part, it holds its own. I enjoyed the gameplay for the first several hours, even restarting to do things differently…”

“Got it on sale and played with my partner on Valentine's, very nice cozy activity! Quite funny and relaxing ^^ Loved the simple yet expressive art style and it's great to see more creative games that don't have to do…”
“Its a cool idea that is incredibly unique. Taking the tv show big brother and expanding upon it is very unique. the creepy background plot is good. There is unfortuantly one major thing the game is lacking strong…”

“This game made me so motion sick because I’m not used to playing 3D games but I’m obsessed with it! It’s really funny and has actual stakes and missions that feel important. I only played for a few hours but I can…”

“I adore this game. It's funny, witty, silly, with a healthy dose of creepiness and mystery to keep you hooked until the end of the storyline. Replaying for achievements is fun and challenging, but gets repetitive quick…”
“Fun gameplay that stops right as it starts to overstay its welcome, and it overstaying its welcome being the point made that still fine (plus the ramping difficulty keeping me on my toes). Its focus is on its story,…”

“I don't care for reality TV so I didn't expect this to be so much fun through and through! The base mechanics work great, but the overarching narrative had me hooked. There are some caveats, unfortunately: there is no…”
“i liked it. but i hoped it would have a new game+ so you can replay new seasons and rescue the rest of the cast also achieving a secret ending at the end but no, it feels kinda incomplete”

“I was generously gifted this game tonight by a very sweet friend :) and I wanted to play it immediately! The hysterical trailer hooked me, with your character meant to be lurking around like a creep behind bushes, countertops, and lounge chairs. :D My expectations were high…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“I didn't think it'd be fun, but it is extremely entertaining to just sit there and record virtual characters go through drama”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“not really alot to do. the demands of the crowd and character dialog both happen at the same time so you miss one or the other. it'd be more interesting with voice acting. the viewers demand you stare at the pool or plants and other objects. wouldnt buy again even at that 75%…”
