The game

Get revenge on the phony people.

Hollyweird's so-called celebrities have kidnapped regular people to pad out their entourages. You're Dex Shutter, a paparazzo with nothing to lose and a camera full of receipts. Bust the hostages out, then humiliate the phonies until their follower counts crash.

They curse, we bleepThe celebs swear like it's an awards-show afterparty. The game beeps every word.

The Humiliation Kit

No weapons. Just consequences.

Nobody gets hurt in Hollyweird, except reputations. Every tool leaves a mark the phonies have to wear in their next post.

The phonies

Famous for being famous.

Any resemblance to real public figures is the joke. Every one of them is a fictional bobblehead caricature.

The parody cast lined up on a Hollyweird street

Fifteen Cent

Boss · The Me-Unit Compound

Mogul, rapper and owner of an ocean of off-brand Vitamin Waterish. Lives behind gold walls with a "Me-Unit" of bodyguards. His future holds one empty autograph table.

Emand M's

Rust Row (coming soon)

"Detroit!" "Eight Miles!" Challenge him to a rap battle, and at half Clout his alter ego Skim Shady splits off to help.

Peeper Dingleberry

Prestige TV royalty

Will monologue at you about wine, the craft and his dragon show. At length. Bring a pie.

Anya Taylor-Annoy

Professional middle-distance starer

Has never once blinked on camera. Every red carpet is a chess match only she knows about.

Ariana Venti

Whistle-note emergency

One ponytail, eleven octaves, a hoodie that could house a family. Hits notes only paparazzi drones can hear.

Mark Bufalow

Big green method actor

Gets furious when you spoil the movie. He spoiled it first, on a podcast, by accident, again.
