California Bound is the story of Emily who leaves home after graduating high school and travels to California to chase her dream of becoming a movie star. In this story, your decisions decide what fate is in store for Emily. Will she become a star or something else entirely?

While the overall arc tells the Emily's story with character building, moral arguments, and plot points found in a novel; the game play consists of mini role play elements as you help Emily find a place to live, get a job, make friends, and earn enough money to chase her dreams. While chance has a major effect on your actions, Emily's attributes and skills also greatly effect the outcome of her actions.
