About Rise to the Top
Rise to the Top is a Ren'Py point-and-click sandbox from EMRG Games. You play a young aspiring producer and DJ navigating the music industry, chasing fame while making choices that affect outcomes. The game uses 3D CG and animated scenes, with mini-games and a slow-burn approach to relationships. It centers on romance, harem, and sandbox choices.
The listed build is version 0.4.1, released November 1, 2022. The creator announced that life circumstances prevent completion, so development is not ongoing and the project is unfinished. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. The latest 0.4.2 changelog adds a way to skip the Find Cat mini-game and also corrects a spelling mistake in a hint for players.
Developer's description
You are a young aspiring producer and DJ navigating your way through the music industry. No one said it would be easy chasing your dreams. However, it can be exhilarating. Risk it all to rise to the highest heights of international stardom and fame. Along the way, you will encounter romance, corruption, lust, and parties for the ages. Will you choose romance or lust? Or do you just want it all? The world is at your fingertips, and all you need to do is press play and control the dancefloor. Just be careful who you trust along the way; this industry is full of killers and lovers. Rise To The Top is an immersive point-and-click sandbox game where your choices impact outcomes. You experience building romantic tension (a slow burn), creating a harem of MILFS and beautiful women, voyeurism, corruption, drugs, and lots more to come. Fun mini-games without all the grind elements. If you think you have what it takes to be a superstar DJ, then this game is for you. Be advised that there is no NTR in this game. THERE IS NO OFFICIAL ANDROID PORT. IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE CREATOR: "This is not an easy post to make but it has to be done. I had every intention of completing this project. However, there have been a series of life-altering events that will not allow me to finish this project. I had every intention of completing "Rise To The Top" but given the circumstances of my situation, I will not be able to. I want to say thank you to everyone who believed in this project because I did it for you."
