◆Story



A fire took away my parents and my happy childhood. The only thing it left me was a piece of charred leather, discovered in the fire, with the words "Chen-Yu News" written on it.
I managed to survive in order to find out the truth behind the fire. Years later, I finally got the opportunity to join Chen-Yu News, provided that I would investigate the truth behind the ‘suicide’ of Su Nian, one of the most popular young actresses in the film industry.

“If you want to become your idol Su Nian, you have to experience what she has gone through.”

The closer I got to the people around Su Nian, the more I was amazed at how dirty the entertainment industry was.
The sanctimonious scouts, the malicious agents, and the powerful senpais of the industry...everyone looked at me with greedy eyes and demanded that I “pay” with my body in exchange for opportunities.
The mysterious app “Room S”, the strange purple liquid “soul lose”, etc., all seemed to be piecing together the truth of Su Nian's death.
What had Su Nian gone through? And what did this have to do with Chen-Yu News and the fire in my childhood?

To gather clues in this swamp of desire, should I rot with it, or was there other choices...?

◆Gameplay Instructions



There are multiple options in the main storyline and each choice will affect the final ending.
As the plot develops, explorable areas will gradually open up. The protagonist can choose to \ about the current situation, to \ the items she has collected, to \ another location, or to \ to proceed directly to the main plot in the morning before heading to the designated location. In the process, she gradually collects ‘clues to the truth’ and pieces together the whole story.

◇16 basic CGs, including more than 180 differentials
◇Game text: 80,000
◇One main female character and two secondary female characters
◇Deduction and the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry themed game

This is a graphic novel or a "choose your own adventure game" and the choices really matter as you will have different outcomes. You're an investigative reporter (or rather want to be one), and you're investigating a star's death. In order to investigate your character will become corrupt and potentially lose herself or die along the way. The choices made will decide the ending, so you may want to make saves that you can come back to at the various choices. The novel itself is primarily static, but there are sounds for the lewd scenes, which when combined with the text help the novel's lewdness. Other than the intoxicating drink that destroys the ability to resist, the game is actually pretty vanilla, for the most part. The text descriptions are okay, and if you're familiar with Japanese novels it's pretty similar to others out there. I had one misstep that I rewound, but other than that I managed to accidentally get the true ending on my first (mostly first if you ignore a quick rewind where I realized playing chaste sucked and, in that case, prevented me from moving the story forward). An interesting note is that, on completion, the game gave instructions for different …

The game works well for NSFW content, but if you're looking for gameplay depth—like detective elements or meaningful choices, I wouldn't recommend it. Despite offering choices, you won't really have a choice but to choose this in order to progress to the real ending. It ends up being more about clicking on the right item than solving anything, but it still serve purpose as a NSFW game great CG and voice

Dark Secrets of Showbiz has a good premise and the presentation is generally quite polished. Unfortunately, the story is not as interesting as the concept suggests and could have used more depth. Still a positive experience overall, but I would only recommend picking it up at a decent discount.

its a simple game that you can complete within a few hrs. but the CG's are pretty good and you get what you are looking for. If you screw up, eventually the game will give you hints. That being said, intentionally screwing up is not a bad idea, as it allow you to explore the the storyline permutations as well as unlocking CG's. overall, its pretty reasonable value for what you are paying for.
