How It Begins

You recently became famous! That's all very well, but it also means you are constantly being followed by paparazzi. Can you escape from the hair salon and the mall in general without being photographed?

Notable Features

• Halfway through the game, there is an unexpected twist in the story which takes it far from the original premise.
• The game features a chase scene.
• Luckily for the PC, the paparazzi are not particularly smart.
