There's three secondary love interests, who have slightly less fleshed out paths that can only be played one way: a woman with a romance, a man with an asexual queer-platonic-y romance, and an implicitly gay man you can only be friends with. There's four primary love interests, all men with conventional romances as well as the option to be friends. These all affect how people feel about her and whether she passes various checks that change how scenes play out and what path and ending she gets. The main gameplay is the typical stats raising thing where you choose Sian's actions for each day (Sleep, study, work, etc) and this affects her stats (fatigue, intelligence etc) You also get to choose who she hangs out with and what she says to them. This is set in the same world as Re:Alistair, and was made by the same people, but it stands alone, and the re:Alistair shout-outs are pretty subtle. Also the stat raising gets repetitive and can be annoyingly fiddly, after my first playthrough I used a walkthrough for everything and still had trouble sometimes. About the only thing I entirely disliked was the music, which was painfully generic. So! It's a well made game, with nice art, good writing, good voice acting, and great characters. The answer for me was yes but YMMV! So here's a more detailed review for anyone who wants one. I spent quite a while staring at it going 'yes, it looks fun, but is it $30USD worth of fun?'. You have to balance school, work, and socialising and there's romantic paths as well as the option to focus more on friendship or her career.

The exception is the Quartz which isn't very fast but it has the Quartz Regalia Type D in the Skill Tree which is a 2nd car that's sort of like a mini Monster Truck, it's very strong for Cross Country and looks awesome lol.Backstage Pass is an enjoyable dating/life sim about a makeup artist, Sian, in her first year of college.

The cars in Bold are some of my personal choices for overall competitiveness, they're very strong in their respective classes. Lotus Elise Series 1 Sport 190 (A800 Road Grip)

Mercedes-Benz X Class (A800 Cross Country) Other Good option for above: Mosler MT900S (You might've been given one of these free though so check beforehand)ĭrift Zones: Any of the RTR Mustangs or FD Cars Most Versatile Car for Off-road PR Stunts: Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution Fastest Car in the Game: Ferrari 599XX Evo
