    The other day I was gifted and got addicted to HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL on steam. It's a like The Movies and Game Dev Tycoon had an M rated baby: You buy a failed studio in the early days of Hollywood and have to turn it around into a successful studio, and there many paths you can take to get there.

    Hollywood Animal releases into early access today. It's demo gave the player the ability to "gift" children as bribes. I enjoy morally grey games but this was just gross to me. I expressed concerns to the developer directly 3x. No response. This is why I won't be playing this game at this time.

    Hollywood Animal is not a difficult game to learn. It's not a difficult game to play in some aspects, though you will very seldom make it out of the 1930s. But there are no games that capture the utter self-serving bastardry of power and capitalism as well as Hollywood Animal

  • CMOT Diablerie @strangelibrary.comBluesky · Nov 22, 2025

    Many games dare you to commit atrocity, but few go as far as Hollywood Animal, a game that asks "now that you know this high-profile actor has a kidnap dungeon in his basement, would you like to blackmail him into a free three-year contract? And also, do we throw in health insurance?"

    The Movies. The best random plot maker with a game attached to it that has ever done that. There's been attempts, with Hollywood Animal going rather darker, and perhaps a more closer attempt with Blockbuster Inc, which was pushed out and forgotten, but neither had the same charm.

    Hollywood Animal. Has some bugs but definitely worth $20. It is a game where you start in 1929 and build your movie studio. Fun, creative, and historical I’d recommend giving it shot. It is early access on steam and like I said got some bugs, but I’ve been having a good experience.
