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!

The game follows the usual trope of other FMV dating games especially like "Love is All Around" until the last chapters of each heroine you have chosen. What some, I believe, praise the game is its plot twists involved by the end of the last chapters. Even the Main Character (MC) has chosen its lover, not everything is simple and hardships do occur in every relationship. This is the unique factor that differentiate itself among the numerous dating sims that are available on Steam. PROS: a. The scenery is superb. A lot of outside background shots that are amazing. b. The actresses show amazing acting range from happy to sad or being hurt (in other words, amazing 180 degrees changes). Take the cosplayer for example, I feel cringe for her at first until I finally choose and acknowledge her. c. The actresses are somewhat pretty; nevertheless, some of them are really cute in further interactions. d. Unique plot twists. CONS: a. The button mini-games sucks. Instead of using arrow keys or buttons to follow, they have the bright idea of using your mouse to pop the bubbles all over the screen. They apply the tablet game mechanics into the mouse and keyboard setup which you cannot keep up when using the mouse. b. Its English User Interface (UI) needs a lot of work. English translation are readable (ignore the phone messages as these are not translated are rather useless). c. Hostility among the actresses are relatively few and they all become best friends. (well except one LOL) d. Recap gallery scene subsections are not available. Need to rewatch some scenes, one then need to go to the storyline and select the scene. Overall, if you enjoy "Love is All Around" of its innocent love plot, then you can pick this up as it has the same footing. It may feel familiar at first, but the endings are unique and are not seen on any other FMV games. It may show that it has limited budget but it still do its best in showcasing its charms. Rankings of my FMV games with English subtitles: 1. Charming Hearts 2. Knowledge or Know Lady 3. Love is All Around (the O.G.) 4. Director Simulator 5. My Destiny Girl 6. Secrets of the Heartbeat Note: All of them are good, I would never put the bad ones on the list. Next in line: Korean FMV: "Five Hearts Under One Roof" and Chinese FMV: "I've Fallen for You"
