Overview
Lead a band of misfits on a roller-coaster ride to stardom in the age of MTV, rock anthems, and bad haircuts. ROCKBEASTS is a story-driven, role-playing management game that puts you in the shoes of a manager of an up-and-coming rock band. Rock ‘n’ Roll Band Manager: This band has real potential, but they need your help to live up to it. Their tunes can revolutionize the music industry and redefine genres - but what good is a great song if no one hears it? It’s your job to land your clients a record deal and negotiate the terms on their behalf. Will you help them fight for their creative freedom, or sell them out to the industry bigwigs? Coffee and Cigarettes for Breakfast: Sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll can only get you so far. Somebody has to make sure the band is in shape to play the next gig. This is where you come in. Make sure they eat a half-decent meal every now and again, fix their gear, get them to rehearse… Hope you like herding cats! Don’t Stop Me Now: It’s your job to book the venue, finalize the setlist and ensure the gig goes according to the plan. Each successful performance is a step toward fame and glory. Sure, that “club” was just a grimy basement, and the audience barely outnumbered the band - but even rock legends have to start somewhere, right?
