Despite a bad first impression, Director Simulator manages to recover thanks to a strong finish. Initially the story is poor, because it is disjointed, illogical, and somewhat childish. Encounters with the admirers are coincidental and nonsensical. Inadequate reasons are made to get players to choose which admirer they want to spend time with. The narrative rarely makes logical sense. When you get a job for a boss admirer, you never do any work and she instead follows to random places. One admirer stays in your apartment and pretends to be dead every time you come home. Another is a gamer who seems completely aloof and talks in riddles. There is not much finesse to the romance arcs and scenes are thrown together at random to take you to places like an amusement park, aquarium, glass bridge, gym, school yard, boat trip etc. The only narrative thread that links it all together is the player-character’s desire to make a movie, but this is tenuous and might be near invisible depending on choices. Yet all the admirers eventually gang up together to make it happen (was done better in Love is all Around). Then, while making the movie, you have to pick your heroine from the group. It is a fairly shoddy main arc, when taken at face value. The other problem is the poor English translation. None of the phone text messages are translated and the only silver lining is there are not many and player interaction is never required. All of the player choices arelistedlikethiswithoutspaces, which is annoying, but the worst part is that many are vague in terms of what your character will say or do—thankfully the timeline can be quickly accessed to retry a segment. Somehow it manages to recover from these major blemishes at the end. When you pick your lead heroine, it begins the final romance arc for them. And here is when their true personality emerges, sometimes in crazy and dramatic ways that are memorable, funny, or poignant. It is almost like 2/3rds of the narrative work has gone into the endings. Failed romances are the default, so finding the good endings takes a bit of trial and error but generally rewarding. The finales are also multifaceted in ways that are hard to describe, and it is a case where those silly parts in the story suddenly make much more sense. There are some unusual gameplay elements but not much interactivity. QTEs associated with singing take a few tries to get a perfect score, and it is impossible to watch the performance and perform well. Photographs are regularly taken of the admirers, and you have to time your shots with poses, which is a little ambiguous but works okay; in a group setting, the one photographed the most gets an affection meter boost, which is neat and should have been used more. At times you can choose which order you want to visit them—demonstrating the game’s proclivity toward jumbled scenes—but this changes nothing in terms of affection. Completing one full romance (to credits) will take about 2.5 hours. There is maybe 5hrs more content via branching paths. If you only go through one romance and call it quits, then Director Simulator is hard to recommend. Only when doing 3+ endings do things actually fall into place, and while not the best game of this type, it manages to wipe away most of its poor first impression.

A Near-Perfect FMV Filled with Twists After hearing a lot of good things about this FMV and receiving multiple recommendations from friends, I finally decided to pick it up at full price and I do not regret it one bit! Having completed the main game with 100% achievements and earning a perfect game , I feel confident sharing my experience and offering insight for those curious about this game. The Story: You play as Luo Yu , a young director who has never worked with real talent. His dream of making movies remains unfulfilled due to a lack of money, so he sticks to odd jobs to stay close to his passion. However, recurring strange dreams begin to disrupt his peaceful life, and soon several girls from those dreams start walking into Luo Yu's reality. The Characters: Gu Meng – The Standout Character For Me (Waifu) Gu Meng is a beautiful and kind-hearted soul who is completely infatuated with you and always tries her best to connect with you. She knows how to defend herself, plays pool, and even rides a motorbike. While she doesn't care much about acting, she’s willing to do it just to make you happy. One of the most touching moments is when she acknowledges that she’s a character in an FMV game but encourages you to follow your next timeline in real life, offering her best wishes for your happiness. This interaction made her feel incredibly real and was a refreshing touch. Jiang Zhiwan – The Bodyguard: Jiang Zhiwan , the personal bodyguard of Ye Wen , is a martial arts expert who used to be an action actress. Fierce and intimidating, she also has a soft and caring side that’s a treat to uncover. Her love for camping and martial arts makes her an interesting and dynamic character to explore. Lin Xiyan – The Innocent Friend: Lin Xiyan , who has a dog named "Rabbit," is shy and quiet but longs for love more than anything. She works part-time as a performance rep and has various hobbies, like ceramics, basketball, and swimming. She’s a sweet character who goes to great lengths to achieve her goals and win your heart. Ye Wen – The Gentle Boss: Ye Wen , the company heiress of the Gold Group , is the perfect balance of domineering and gentle. While she’s consumed by her work, she knows how to switch off and relax, especially around the right person. Her wealth and assertiveness make her a fascinating character who will do whatever it takes to get what—or who—she wants. Ouyang Lu – The Chinese Popstar: Ouyang Lu , a famous singer and dancer, may appear tough on the outside, but she’s extremely fragile on the inside. Despite loving her idol status, what she craves most is the perfect relationship. Her relatable thoughts and deep character make her a delight to interact with. Su Yimo – The Childhood Friend: Su Yimo is the epitome of innocence and purity in FMV s. She’s incredibly adorable and always full of energy, whether she’s helping you find a job or running around an amusement park. She’s always there with a smile, eager to take on the day, and brings joy to every moment. Her ending may be the most emotional thing I have ever seen in gaming history The Translation: The English translation is solid overall, with only a few minor issues like missing spaces between choices and untranslated texts or notes. You might want to have Google Lens handy just in case, but it doesn’t impact the overall experience too much. Phone and Exploration Mechanics: Many FMV games suffer from cumbersome mechanics like text interactions or object searching. Thankfully, Director Simulator completely scraps these mechanics, allowing you to focus purely on the story without any distractions. The Soundtrack: The soundtrack was one of the standout features for me. The songs during key scenes, as well as the mini-game tracks, are immersive and catchy! They’ll definitely get stuck in your head! Final Thoughts: Overall, Director Simulator was an incredible experience and has quickly become one of my favorite FMVs , regardless of language. The story is innovative and full of twists, keeping you on your toes and never knowing what will happen next. The characters are all well-developed and feel unique, making you laugh, cry, and invest emotionally in their journeys. Message to GOLDEN AGE: I eagerly look forward to your future projects! This game was a masterpiece , and I truly appreciate your commitment to keeping the FMV genre alive. I wish both the development team and the cast all the best in their future careers! Rating: 9/10 Highly Recommended!

An underrated FMV, I went in thinking even if it's really good, it'll mostly be on the same tier as S-tiered FMVs like Knowledge, or know Lady and Love Is All Around, I didn't expect it to be this good. This deserves to be on the same level as the S-Tiered FMVs, not because it's just a dating sim but it has time travel elements attached to the plot as well. Yes, there are bugs but overall, it was a pleasant experience and it unexpectedly made a deep impression on me, I will surely rmbr this one amongst other FMVs that I've played. Anyway, here's a quote from Director Simulator that I find interesting: If we can't catch a sunset, what can we catch 我们连夕阳都抓不住，还能抓住什么呢 The point is to live in the moment. Nothing lasts forever, so just live life to the fullest :)

After clearing all (100% progress) the chapters and character endings, here is my honest review: Characters: There's 6 character here (Gu Meng, Lin Xiyan, Su Yimo, Ouyang Lu, Ye Wen, and Jiang Zhiwan). The heart percentage is not really matter here except for Su Yimo, to unlock her ending . There are 4 focused ending that you can play later after finishing Chapter 5. Gu Meng's all ending at Chapter 5 The Story: The story starts out like many dating sims. You need a "NG+" to unlock some locked path here. There's an ending called Loop Ending to unlock the locked path later so you won't unlock it until you get this ending. Overall, the story is really amazing and mind blowing. Especially Gu Meng's story, even tho she's not my waifu. The Story makes this game stand out! It has unique plot twist. The Translation: Sorry to say the English translation doesn't feel natural, seems like direct translation but still readable (use your instinct for some scene lol). Phone messages & notes are not translated (you need google lens or else to translate it yourself). Mini Games Mechanics: There are QTE moment and many mini games here. QTE is okay, but the mini games seems to be buggy. Shooting photos here is fun tho imo :D The Cinematography: The cinematography is okay, the scenery is stand out here. The Achievement: Okay seriously guys, some achievement are bugged. You won't unlock them unless you go to achievement section first. Summary: Overall, Director Simulator was such a great experience with the immersive story, unique plot twist, and unique gameplay. Even tho there are still some bug but this game is still enjoyable. Thank you for keeping this genre alive. I wish both the development team and the cast all the best in their careers ahead. Highly Recommended!

This game is full of plot twists and a fresh take in the romance FMV genre. It only has a few issues which do not hinder the quality of this great game much: The bad: 1. The English subtitles are not the best but they are definitely good enough to enjoy the game. You will rarely get confused. But handy messages are not translated at all which is an issue. 2. The mini games are hard. Its actually very hard to achieve high results in some mini games. Definitely too hard for most players. However you can still progress and unlock everything without perfect scores. 3. The game lacks a bit of sexyness but it makes up for it with its story. Thats the only bad thing i can say about this game its just that good. Now lets talk about why i enjoyed this game immensely: This game is full of plot twists, early endings and surprises. Your choices do matter a lot and will influence what happens in a major degree. The game is filmed very well and the video quality is good enough. The favor system actually takes some effort and thinking and will influence what endings you can get. My first play through took me roughly 4 hours (endings for 2 girls) and you will need multiple playthroughs so i think you get enough playtime for the price. The storyboard works well but is not perfect. However it should not hinder you in anyway. I did not encounter a single bug so far. IMPORTANT NOTE: For a lot of Happy Endings you need to NOT choose the breakup option but instead WAIT after a while a new option will appear allowing you to get together. Check your storyboard if there are 2 branches for a scene with only 1 choice you can wait to get the second choice aka HE. Its a bit dumb but do not miss out on some Happy Endings! You do not have to do it in the first try. You can choose BE first and come back to it and still get HE so do not fear. I can highly recommend this game its a well planned out game that surprised me. Here is my romance FMV Ranking: 1. Knowledge or know lady 2. Ouch! So many beauties! --> Most Sexy FMV get it on Epic 3. Charming Hearts 4. Director Simulator 5. Drive Me Crazy --> now working 6.
