What players say

Players find the simulation ambitious but punishing, with hunger and mood meters draining too fast while earning money is a grind. Many say the tutorial dumps everything upfront and lacks a task system, leaving them directionless. Reviews split on whether the core ideas outweigh the current rough execution.
