主角 (2026)

[i]All the world's a stage, and all the men and women are merely players[/i]. Today my role is reviewer, for a game where the leading male actor plays the role of an undercover agent, who then assumes the role of a young actor, so he can infiltrate a drama college and expose nefarious individuals. What role will you play? Protagonist is a well put together third-person FMV game that mixes romance with drama, focusing on the performance arts. It remains interesting, has great characters, and exploits its themes to provide a unique narrative style. Lu Sheng’s sister got seriously injured not long after she graduated from an exclusive Master Class at Jinglin Academy. Believing there was foul play, Lu Sheng plans to infiltrate the class by pretending to be a newbie actor. He is assisted directly by a covert female partner, who joins the school but not the class. As Lu Sheng, you get close with three young actresses, each with their own problems and aspirations. You also meet a goal-orientated teacher, an idealistic director, and a femme fatale producer. The narrative remains interesting and is paced well. The progression from a newbie into this secretive class feels earned. It also …

Another peak title for 2026 - great characters - intriguing story - a must play

This would have been a solid 10/10 off the bat if it had ENGLISH SUBS upon release. Nevertheless, nutcrackr's English subs mod was clearly good enough for me to get 3 endings already. SADLY, I DIDN'T GET A GOOD ENDING WITH ZHANG KAIYUE IN MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH THOUGH WTF :(( OKAY enough rambling Cinematography, filming locations, acting quality, the actresses, were all great! No issues about those, the story and the villains fall a bit flat especially with their comeuppance, but everything else was silk! It was impressive how they built up everything from start to finish, and the branching paths, albeit more straight than crooked, do still give different outcomes at times. Played this for Zhang Kaiyue, stayed for the journey, enjoyed the process. Me, you, WE, are the protagonist. Finished all achievements, all endings, loved all of the things that made this game what it is.

I was expecting and looking for something like Breakout 13, Road to Empress and The Vig, more drama-oriented with just some light dating sim elements but sadly I didn't find it here. The main plot and setting is interesting, which makes it more frustrating when entire acts devolve in heartfarming the waifus with some barely justifiable plot reasons while the pacing goes to hell. Too much of a harem fantasy, too little tension. Good for and dating sim fans and sophisticated gooners but it ain't for me, boss.

主角 is a game that embraces the idea that every story is shaped not only by its heroes, but also by the expectations placed upon them. Developed by 顶顶阳光 and published by 一相逢互动娱乐 and 凤麟工作室, the title presents a reflective journey that focuses heavily on narrative, character relationships, and the burden of being at the center of events. Rather than delivering an action-heavy experience, it invites players to slow down and immerse themselves in a world where choices, conversations, and personal growth take precedence. Its premise immediately stands out for its willingness to examine the concept of protagonism itself, giving the game a distinctive identity among story-driven releases. The game's greatest strength lies in its storytelling. Throughout the adventure, players are encouraged to question the role they occupy within the narrative. The script frequently explores themes of destiny, purpose, and individuality, allowing the protagonist to evolve in meaningful ways depending on the decisions made. There is a strong emphasis on dialogue, and while the pace can be measured, the writing generally succeeds in maintaining interest through carefully timed revelations and emotional exch…
