This game was a masterpiece. They even put decent effort into the translations. The only issue I have is that you can get stuck in the chapters if you don't choose the correct path. This game is more like an FMV mini series than the usual choose your girl and try to date her game play. This game will remind you of the importance of good writers as you continue to play other games of this genre.

If you're familiar with the FMV genre and the mechanics of Love is All Around, then Vanity Fair doesn't do anything innovative. It is not a romance or dating sims game. However, what Vanity Fair does excellent and even better than other FMVs in the market is tell a very compelling and narrative driven story. The theme and plot are centered around maneuvering political and social tension, in order to achieve your goals. Pros: - Fantastic story - Great acting - High quality production value - Soundtrack is top-notch and matches so well with the themes and events in the story - Choices matter a lot and the stakes are so high, which adds to the thrill and suspense - The character development of the main character is quite good and satisfying - Gorgeous female cast (makes me wish this game was a dating or love simulator like Love is All Around) Cons: - Although 100% clear in each chapter is shorter compared to other FMV, getting the hidden or secret endings can be tedious - As stated in previous point, the hidden endings and routes might be difficult to unlock and requires you think deductively how to unlock them - The interface bugs out in subsequent chapters - Game client would not launch successfully in so many instances and I had to reinstall and verify files each time I wanted to play this game. All my other games on Steam ran just fine but the devs should really get this problem solved I recommend anyone who wants a FMV that isn't just about love or dating to play this game. If you want an emotionally charged story that subverts your expectations and takes you on a ride, buy this game.

Oct. 2024

One of the best FMV games on steam. Not typical of the other games on Steam, as it's not so much a dating simulator and the POV is not from the eyes of the protagonist. Best acting in any FMV game, and the story is great too. Really feels like your actions can drastically change the direction of the story. The subtitle translations aren't always great, but able to understand the gist of it. Would highly recommend for anyone that likes FMV or visual novel games.

This Chinese FMV is one of the best I've played in this genre; the story, acting, and even the soundtracks are outstanding. The story is about a young man named Lu Yuan, an aspiring film director. You'll have to make huge decisions about his career and private life. The story will cover all the years between 2004 and 2024 as you watch Lu Yuan grow as a director, a businessman, or begging on the streets. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3304057903 The game has multiple endings and a huge map that allows you to jump back and forth to change a series of decisions to change the outcome. Literally, every choice leads to a different ending, and each plot branch affects the story. There are seven chapters to unlock and explore, 11 main characters to encounter and reveal their backstories, and a photo gallery to collect. The game has too many things to explore aside from the story itself, and when you get any bad ending, a hint will be dropped to avoid it in the future by changing something in the past. I liked the female characters; one has excellent acting skills (the girl in a red dress). I don't want to spoil any of the story by saying what role they are playing; the game has many twists. I gasped multiple times and felt deceived in other scenes, but let me remind you: violence is not an option. I learned it the hard way. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3304114291 The game is too addictive not to finish, and the ending made me very emotional (the good ending). I was not expecting it, but it all worked well. The only drawback is the translation of the names; they are spelled differently every time, but I got used to it and learned who is who halfway in the game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3304061728 Pros: +Interesting story with seven chapters +Choices and consequences. +Good soundtracks. +Great acting. +Good character personality development. +Good game length. +Multiple endings and routes. (You can go back to any choice to change it) +You can skip previously seen scenes. +Steam achievements. Cons: - The English translations of the names are not accurate at times. Because the game has multiple endings, they did the right thing and allow you to go back to the map any time and change your choices, and you can also skip previously seen scenes and pause whenever you want. I highly recommend this FMV; it felt like watching a good movie with good actors; the romance wasn't sticking to or shoved in our faces, and everything was well-balanced and emotional. I hope I'll find another game like this one.

June 2024

The good: - Acting are amazing. - Well written plot, will give you roller coaster of emotions. - Plot twist! - Nice scene to scene transition (some FMV games like this sometimes have crazy jumps of scene making it a little incoherent). The bad: - Translation is not complete, probably machine translation and polished by person but some text untranslated or having translation error. - Subtitle sometimes too fast with long text, making some unreadable. if somehow the bad are corrected in future patches, then it's perfect.
