Read the full game description
It is April 1977, and your aspiring musician has nine months to become a star. Assign your schedule across daytime, evening, and after-hours worker-placement spaces to improve chops, reputation, and songs; book gigs; promote your act; land a record contract; and collect royalties. Character powers and personal goals create distinct career paths, while event cards keep the year unpredictable. Candy can stretch a day into another action, but overindulgence carries consequences. Reach 50 fame early or play through December, then add bonuses to crown the hottest new artist.
