Movie Cinema Simulator or Bioskop (Cinema in Indonesia) Simulator, is another simulator game by Akhir Pekan Studio. The game lets you run your family’s inherited cinema, from selling tickets, serving popcorn, to even dealing with thugs! Let’s discuss it!
Inherited Business
In Movie Cinema Simulator’s story, you inherit an old, abandoned family cinema business. Now, it’s all up to you to take care of this generational business. As usual, Akhir Pekan Studio nails that simulation style with a distinct local flavor.
At first, everything might feel a little hectic. You need to sell tickets while also checking if the movie rating is appropriate for each customer. On top of that, you’ve got to handle popcorn, soda, and other snacks to keep visitors happy.
But that’s where the fun is!
Fun Routines
The gameplay really makes you feel like a real cinema owner. Beyond selling tickets and snacks, you’ll need to stay alert for broken equipment that needs fixing. Sometimes, you’ll also deal with disruptive customers or thieves.
It may sound a lil quirky, but that’s exactly what keeps the game from feeling repetitive. Everyday feels different, depending on how well your cinema is doing.
Once things are running smoothly, then you can start hiring employees and focus more on upgrading or decorating the cinema. You’ll get to add new rooms, improve the interiors, and even purchase new movies to draw bigger crowds.
All the decisions are in your hands! You’re the boss after all.
Not Just About the Cinema
What makes Movie Cinema Simulator stand out is the fact that you’re not locked managing the cinema all the time. You can wander around town to shop for items, whether for your cinema, your home, or even yourself.
Yes, the game gives you your own personal house, which you can decorate however you like. So if you get tired of managing the cinema, you can head home and redesign your space to make it cozy.
And if you happen to get into a fight, you can grab food or drinks to heal up. This really isn’t just a stiff linear simulator, it’s full of variety!
Humor and Parody
One of Akhir Pekan Studio’s trademarks is their goofy but genuinely funny humor. Movie Cinema Simulator is packed with hilarious moments and parodies that will surely keep you entertained.
For example, there’s a character called “Jongwok”, which is a clear parody of John Wick. Also the dialogues between characters are often absurd in the best way, giving the game its unique personality. Even customer behavior inside the cinema often imitates real-world moviewatchers, from loud chatter to sneakily recording.
All these elements make the game’s vibe lighthearted and never taking itself too seriously. So even when you’re busy managing your cinema, there’s always a little humor to brighten things up.
Distinct Visual Style
And of course, there’s the signature Akhir Pekan Studio look. The visuals in Movie Cinema Simulator are smooth, slightly low poly, and cartoonish. Easy on the eyes and of course full of charm.
You don’t really need a high-end PC or phone to play it smoothly either. The game is designed for accessibility, which has always been one of the studio’s priorities.
