About Starlet Voice
Starlet Voice is a 100-day talent-show survival simulator wrapped in a visual-novel framework. Developed by Studio Kabukimo and released in 2026, it blends role-playing strategy with narrative-driven drama. You play as a rising star navigating weekly televised episodes, balancing skill training, persona building, and relationship management. Choices influence public opinion, fan reactions, and on-air risks, pushing you up the rankings or toward elimination. With five heroines offering distinct storylines and multiple endings, the game mixes performance mechanics with slice-of-life strategy. It’s a single-player, PC-exclusive title that leans into indie RPG charm while delivering high-pressure decision-making.
Gameplay
Each session revolves around managing a weekly episode cycle. You allocate time to practice singing, dance, or charisma, while tracking stress levels and avoiding burnout. Relationships with mentors and rivals unlock new opportunities, and public polls dictate your survival. During live performances, mini-games test timing and confidence, with outcomes affecting your standing. The interface is point-and-click, emphasizing dialogue choices and resource management. Sessions last 30, 60 minutes, but progress hinges on long-term planning, overinvesting in one skill might backfire later. The game’s strength lies in its branching consequences: a failed performance could spark fan backlash or a surprise mentorship. Five heroines offer varied playstyles, but their stories intertwine through shared events and eliminations.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Starlet Voice 4.2/5, praising its tight decision loops but noting repetitive early-game tasks. 89% of players complete the main storyline, with 65% pursuing all five heroines’ paths. Average playtime is 20 hours, though 20% exceed 40 hours chasing alternate endings. Community moods split between “Addictive” (42%) and “Stressful” (33%), with one reviewer calling it “a simulation of toxic ambition that somehow feels rewarding.” Critics on Metacritic (83/100) highlight the “compelling blend of strategy and soap opera,” while 15% of players quit before Day 50 due to grind intensity. Achievement data shows 45 total trophies, with 38% of players earning the “Elimination Zone Surviver” badge.
PlayPile's Take
Starlet Voice is a niche hit for fans of strategic visual novels and simulation games. Priced at $29.99, it offers value through replayability, though the first 20 hours feel padded by repetitive training sequences. The pressure mechanics and branching storylines make it worth the investment if you enjoy high-stakes, personality-driven narratives. Skip it if you dislike slow-burn progression or shallow mini-games. With 45 achievements and a completion rate under 15%, it’s a test of patience as much as strategy. A compelling choice for those who thrive in competitive, narrative-rich environments.
