    The idea is perfect, two struggling thespians make one last run at getting their shabby theatre to produce numbers. You as the player are tasked with making this happen through various games and activities.

    Where it does well is in the layers of story that pertain to each town member, and how you can custom tailor the performances to audience member tastes. There was a level of complexity in this that I wasn't expecting, but really what it boils down to is the more time you spend with the game, the more you are able to do in it. That's true of many games, but executed very well in TRP.

    Where it fails is difficulty, with most games being baby-time-frolics and the odd challenge spike being little more than a poorly explained goal or a janky mechanic tied to winning, very little in the way of a structured challenge.

    Probably for the best though, the rest of the games tone is very light in nature - so a challenging puzzle mechanic may not have suited it well.

    6/10, a casual RPG experience that will probably leave you wanting a little more at the end of it all - but worth a look for a sub $5 price tag.    … Full Review »

It's a really good and charming experience. It's surprisingly fun to get all the collectibles, and it was always satisfying when I completed a quest. The mini games can get repetitive, though. But despite that, this game is a great title.… Full Review »

You're two aspiring actors, caring for an old theatre. I'm a theatre person and that made it even better. The pixel art is pleasant. I would rate it higher, but the action gets a little boring. It's a collection of mini games within a storyline, BUT the mini games becoming tiring while there is still a significant amount of story left. I whip this game out every now and then and play more of it, but the further you go, the harder it is to achieve the goals you need to achieve to progress the plot. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this game to anyone who loves theatre, performance, and/or pixel RPGs.… Full Review »
