Stardom 2000

Stardom 2000 is a romance and career-raising simulation game. After the protagonist’s band is disbanded by its record company because its albums have not sold well, the protagonist stays in show business and sets out to make a name for themself.

The game spans three years. Early on, the protagonist’s abilities limit them to singing for work in a folk-song restaurant. As they gain experience, more kinds of jobs become available. Once they have built enough popularity, they can also take on assignments. Nearly 1,000 assignments fall into five categories: records, television, films, photo books and advertising. Meeting certain conditions can unlock special invitations, including a charity fair, campaigning for an election candidate and serving as a clothing brand ambassador.

Career paths

The protagonist’s work and self-development over the three years shape their career ending. There are 36 endings across five paths: acting, singing, hosting, business management and leaving the entertainment industry.

Friends and romance

You can help other characters with personal and work problems, such as resolving relationship disputes, searching for a lost treasure or finding news of a retired actor. Solving these problems can raise related attributes and may earn items that cannot be bought.

You can pursue relationships with nine women, each with a different level of difficulty.

Managing an artist

After the protagonist reaches a certain level of career success, they may have the option to become the manager of the artist Fang Ruqi. They can then choose to manage her while continuing their own entertainment career, or become a full-time manager.
