After more than a year of passionate development, we’re thrilled (and a little emotional 😅) to share with you the playable demo of our game on Steam!

In this demo, your journey begins in 1906, during the rise of the very first movie theaters in Paris. Your goal: develop and manage your own cinema until 1914, on the eve of the Great War.

📍 A rich historical setting, rarely explored in video games.

Your theater will grow year after year, and you’ll gradually unlock many features:

• 📽️ Movie scheduling

• 🎞️ Film reel purchasing

• 🎟️ Ticket pricing

• 🧱 Theater expansion

• 💡 Technical upgrades

• …and much more

A complete tutorial will guide your first steps. After that, the game opens up and lets you shape your cinema your way: a modern multiplex or a timeless arthouse venue? The choice is yours.
