Open Demo Closing & Exciting Updates!

Hello everyone! The Movierooms Open Demo has now closed for this phase, and we want to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to explore both the Historical Mode and Sandbox Mode!

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve reached 1,510 wishlists!🎉
And many of you have helped us identify and report bugs—something we’re actively working to fix it.

📅 What’s Next?
 

We’ll be back around late April/early May with another free Sandbox Mode playtest, featuring all the bug fixes from this period. This will be the final test phase before we move toward the full release at Steam Next Fest in June!

But that’s not all… Spoiler for you! Today we would love to share how we’re blending simulation and storytelling in a way that’s rarely seen in the tycoon/management game genre!

Happy reading!

Bringing History to Life in Movierooms! ✨Crafting the Story Mode

 

Game narratives often evolve alongside development. That’s when the big question arose: “How do we justify time travel in a historical cinema simulation?”💡What if famous historical figures ended up in the wrong time periods? With the help of Gaspard, our mascot, players must unravel the mystery and restore cinema history!

 

🏛️Exploring Cinematic Eras
Movierooms is more than just a simulation—it’s a journey through film history! As you manage your dream cinema, you’ll:
🎥 Discover real historical facts about the film industry.
🎞️ Explore vintage movie posters from each time period.
📰 Read newspapers with real-world insights on society, trends, and cinema of the time.

 

🎭Meet Iconic Film Figures
One of the most exciting parts of Story Mode is the chance to meet legendary film figures. Improving your cinema can attract VIP guests, unlocking special quests inspired by their real lives!

 

In the demo, you met Salvador Dalí, the Surrealist artist and filmmaker, who dreams of meeting Georges Méliès. Helping him is just the beginning!
More historical characters are coming soon, including Georgette Méliès, daughter of the legendary director, whose contributions to cinema deserve to be recognized.

Unique Story-Driven Mechanics
Each level introduces game mechanics inspired by real historical challenges.
📽️ Example: Italy, 1930s – Players must navigate strict censorship laws when screening American films. A government censor is always watching—so be careful if you want to entertain your audience without getting caught!

Also, thank You yet for Your Support! 💙
Movierooms is not just about managing a cinema—it’s about reliving film history through exciting challenges, legendary characters, and hidden stories waiting to be discovered!
