Rookie Rise
“Your rookie crew has one shot to turn a chaotic agency audition into the debut everyone talks about.”
The premise
Build a rookie idol team inside StarLight Agency, where every rehearsal, rumor, and public performance can lift your group toward stardom or expose them before they are ready.
You will scout awkward talents, shape their first image, and decide how far to push them as rivals, managers, and media watchers look for weakness.
Behind the glitter is a harder path: earn trust, protect your rookies from scandal, and turn an uncertain debut single into a chart-topping first victory.
Who you are
Once a shy choir singer, you found safety in harmonies before a chance encounter with an idol recruiter pulled you into StarLight Agency. You know what stage fright feels like, and you know how easily a promising voice can disappear without the right support. Now you are trying to become the kind of rookie manager who can recognize fragile talent before the industry breaks it.
Your objective
Lead your rookie idols to release a chart-topping debut single while managing energy, reputation, talent growth, and media pressure.
The kind of choices you'll face
A few illustrative examples — in play, choices are written for the exact situation you're in:
- Observe the other trainees as they warm up.
- Check the audition board for upcoming opportunities.
- Strike up a conversation with a nervous newcomer.
And when none of the options say what you actually want to do, write your own action — the story responds to it just the same.
