Make Me Famous

Editorial Has potential

Make Me Famous started as a promising prospect: players consistently praised its dynamic branching paths (ranging from loyal girlfriend to various exploitative routes), solid writing, appealing character design, and genuine world-building that elevated it above generic fare. The core game mechanics and creative work remained strong enough that several reviewers said they'd buy it on Steam at full price if finished. However, the project appears to be in serious trouble. The developer posted a detailed explanation in June about France's heatwave and wildfires damaging equipment and forcing evacuation, but it's now been over two months since that last update with no further communication—despite claiming script work would continue. This mirrors the developer's previous project, Deep Down, which was abandoned without warning, and the pattern of silence combined with ongoing support from backers has eroded community trust. While some players remain hopeful the dev will return, the consensus is grim: this is likely abandoned, making it impossible to recommend despite the creative promise.
