Originally hailing from Japan, the 'otome' genre appeals primarily to female gamers. This style of game tends to revolve around a visual novel type of approach, in which the player navigates their character through a series of situations. In Backstage Pass you play as Sian, a makeup artist who must find her way to the top in the wild and crazy world of showbiz. Along the way you'll meet and interact with a wide variety of characters, who might offer an opportunity to move forward in your career, become a trusted friend... or maybe even something more!
