Hollywood Visionary

Hollywood Visionary is a 150,000-word interactive novel set in 1950s Hollywood. As the head of your own movie studio, you make choices that shape the story and control your productions, from their genre and casting to the buzz around them. The game is entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects.

Run a movie studio

You can take on the movie business as a writer, director, producer, actor or editor. Choose from dozens of genres and modifiers to shape each film, and deal with Hollywood figures including Orson Welles and Greta Garbo. Your studio can become an Oscar-winning powerhouse, produce a B-movie train wreck or follow another path.

Choose your path

Your choices can lead to an Oscar, a cult classic or obscurity. You decide whether to name names for the blacklist or risk everything to uphold your artistic ideals. The story has five possible endings, and its extensive romance plots are optional: you can pursue love or devote yourself to your art.

Shape your character

You control your pronouns, appearance and titles independently, as well as your romance options.
