About Backstage Pass
A visual novel/sim game about life, love, and working in the entertainment industry. Play as makeup artist Sian Goodin as she navigates the world of showbiz. Work with upcoming talent or established pros? Focus on your schoolwork, or use your industry connections to climb the ladder and land a job as a high-ranking producer? Date a famous actor, cultivate romance with a fresh-faced pop star, or strike out on your own? The choices are yours (and yours alone)!
Story
The glamor and glitz of showbiz hold little appeal for Sian. As the daughter of a professional makeup artist, she knows how stressful and uncertain work can be, and she aspires to something more stable. When a sudden accident topples her plans for a smooth college life, she realizes she must put her own makeup skills to use if she wants to make it through the year. The entertainment world may be wild and unpredictable, but Sian's about to learn there's also a lot to love.

I've tried to play this more than once, always having to resort to guides and generally not having a good time. A guide is entirely necessary to succeed in this game and as others have said it doesn't feel like playing -- it feels like following a checklist. The fact that I've spent 11 hours playing this and failed to get beyond the common route is a pretty good indicator of this.1 found this helpful
The game may look like a dating sim that glorifies romance and working in entertainment industry, whereas in fact is a narrative dating sim/time management game that glorifies a good hustle and friendships. I genuinely think friendships and main plot are a much more fun part of the game, and I believe I unironically learned something about a responsible attitude to organizing my own life by playing this visual novel. I wish there was more content toward the late game stage though, I feel like it is quite dense with the story events at first, but that bar does not stay as high, while the game just keeps going. Nevertheless, definitely a fun experience to play through at least a few times for different branches/storylines. I wish the developer had more games, not necessarily dating sims or games like this, just stories. This game means a lot to me personally, and I wish there were more people who knew about it, if only to check if it could become just as dear to them. Also the game has an amazing voice over for a lot of scenes, which I do not think is super common for the niche.
fun game but why the ♥♥♥♥ can you date a 15 year old
It's an okay visual novel. I was excited to play it with all the good reviews. But, the stats building is really obnoxious and there's a lot of repetitive content. There are way better visual novels for the price.
i'm simple, i see otome game with good voice acting, i put so many hours into it for all the routes.
Great game!
