How to play The Idolmaster: One For All on Mac

Game summary

The Idolmaster: One For All is a Japanese raising simulation video game in The Idolmaster series. The story in One For All is told from the perspective of a producer in charge of leading and training a group of pop idols to stardom. Its gameplay, while most similar to its predecessor The Idolmaster 2, features several improvements and differences, and allows players to produce all 13 idols from 765 Production, the main talent agency featured in the series. The office environment was redesigned to give it a more natural feeling, and a focus was put on "returning to the starting point" in The Idolmaster series with One For All centered on growing alongside novice idols in a small talent agency.
