A grounded simulation of the slow, strategic grind from rookie musician to rock stardom, focused on management and customization.

What players say
Players praise the addictive, grindy loop that mirrors a real band's struggle, and love customizing album art and gear. A few call the optimization poor, and one review criticizes a DLC for using a real person's photo.
