Hollywood Animal

Our analysis

A deep, deliciously corrupt movie-studio tycoon set at the dawn of sound cinema, where you build every facility, write scripts by mixing genres, manage scandal-prone actors, and even hire hitmen to handle rivals. The scripting and production loop is the standout, and the seedy, cutthroat atmosphere lands well. An unskippable prologue on each restart is annoying, but as an early-access first impression it is highly recommended.
