What players say

Players praise the setting and humor but hit a wall after a few hours: the game is short, repetitive, and has a punishing tax that wipes progress near the end. Performance is poor, often below 15 fps, though switching to windowed mode helps. Players are split on recommending it, with many calling it a promising but unfinished beta.
