Pixelberry Studios

General
Pixelberry Studios is the company that created "Hollywood U: Rising Star". Originally, the company consisted of a small team of workers, that branched off from Electronic Arts. At EA, the team created "Surviving High School" and "Cause of Death: Can You Catch the Killer?". Since leaving EA, they created "High School Story" (also referred to as "High School Story Prime" to differentiate it from the company's more successful app Choices: Stories You Play's series by the same name) and "Hollywood U".

In 2017, Pixelberry Studios was acquired by Nexon. In 2018, the company decided to stop updating and supporting "High School Story" and "Hollywood U", and instead focus purely on "Choices".

High School Story
"High School Story" is Pixelberry's original game as well as "Hollywood U's" sister game. "High School Story" is very similar in terms of gameplay, but it is considered more appropriate for younger players, rated 8 years+.
