Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We need feedback from players to turn this into a game that people can play for countless hours on end. We believe that this feedback will allow us to leave early access in a far better state than if we had just launched the game outright. We want to perfect our full release of Box Office Mayhem.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect that Box Office Mayhem will be in early access for no longer than two months as we do not plan to add additional content or systems during early access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to include additional content and polish beyond what is available in Early Access and while the full version will not feature additional content at launch, we anticipate the full version will be more fun, polished, and downright addictive. We will continue to update the game throughout it's lifespan to provide new experiences to explore. At this time it is unclear what features will be added at full release but we can say that there will be more variety; more movie types, more formats, more competitors and storylines.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All of the core game systems are in the Early Access version, however please prepare for bugs, balance issues, and placeholder images/text during early access. If any of this concerns you, please hold off until the game is fully released as the early access version is not for you. You may reference current content in the "About This Game" section as this will remain consistently up to date.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There is no planned price increase after the game leaves early access. Please buy the game when it is convenient for you. There is also no planned paid DLC for Box Office Mayhem so pricing should be consistent forever.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Player feedback is the #1 most important thing to us at Tidefall Interactive. I am a solo developer currently so any and all feedback is critical to not only improve the game, but allow myself to get more insight. We would love to hear from every player through the Steam Forums or over on our Discord server.”

About This Game

Ever dreamt of running your own movie theatre? Here is what it entails:

  • Hire, fire, and manage your employees. Maybe even give a raise to your seasoned employees... just kidding!

  • Select which movies to screen and when with the goal of maximizing the amount of butts in seats.

  • Adjust your ticket pricing to remain competitive while turning a profit.

  • Sell popcorn at $10 a bucket and a bottle of water at $6 because movie goers love that, obviously.

Meticulous control over auditorium details are at your finger tips:

  • Start small and scale up to massive auditoriums that seat hundreds of attendees

  • Do you want to screen 2D, 3D, or 4D movies, maybe even all of them? The choice is yours.

  • Screen movies in the highly sought after and hyped "APEX" projection.

We know you wish you could just illegally screen the movies, but no:

  • Negotiate for rights to screen the new blockbuster superhero movie! It's only the 15th one of the year.

  • Rise above your competitors by snagging an exclusivity deal giving only your theatre rights to screen a movie.

  • Be careful of the big movie franchises with superstar directors as they want the majority of royalties on ticket sales.

Think this game isn't deep enough? Think again, we have mini story arcs... just like the movies: 

  • Over 15 AI competitors with backstories, unique personalities, and traits are ready to outclass you.

  • Each AI competitor has a branching storyline along with special events to keep things engaging and fresh.

  • Not a fan of competition? Befriend the local competitors and cultivate a sense of community.

After getting crushed by AI competitors, you can chicken out and challenge your friends instead:

  • Featuring online multiplayer for 2-4 players. View each other's stats in real time so you can trash talk.

  • In-depth multiplayer simulation. All players are competing for the same market so sales affect other players.

  • Trade with other players, and when they reject your outlandish offer... resort to sabotaging their operations. 

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI was used throughout the development process. It was utilized alongside humans to assist with tasks. Notably: debugging, localization, asset creation, and marketing materials.
