  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is hindered by poorly explained mechanics and a steep learning curve, making it challenging for new players to fully enjoy the experience. While some players appreciate the grind and the game's graphics and music, many feel that a lack of tutorials and guidance on fundamental mechanics, such as client satisfaction, detracts from overall enjoyment. Enhancing the tutorial system and providing clearer explanations of game mechanics could significantly improve player engagement and satisfaction.

    • “As a new player, it can be even harder as you don’t know the game mechanics, making it challenging to make informed choices.”
    • “Yes, there is a learning curve, and some of the mechanics are not explained well, or at all, which can be frustrating for players.”
    • “To sum up, adding more guides for mechanics and some lore elements would make this game much more enjoyable.”
    • “Lots of game mechanics don't make any sense.”
    • “As a new player, it can be even harder as you don’t know the game mechanics, making it difficult to choose.”
    • “It makes it quite challenging to just enjoy the game with so many hidden or poorly shown mechanics.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their quality and artistic style, with users noting that they are well-crafted rather than basic assets. While some players emphasize that graphics are not the sole focus of the game, they appreciate the overall visual and auditory experience.

    • “Ignoring the gameplay, the graphics and music hold merit; they aren't just basic assets but actually well-made images and sound to a degree.”
    • “Interesting art style, very nice music.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players who enjoy grinding may find some satisfaction in progressing through the game, but frustration arises when fundamental mechanics remain unclear, leading to a lack of reward for their efforts. The abrupt ending after significant investment in grinding, particularly for tier 3 tools, leaves many feeling unfulfilled. Additionally, the cumbersome interface for making changes adds to the overall tedium of the grinding experience.

    • “I just wanted to leave the review for players like me, who don't mind grinding a bit, who can have fun playing without understanding all game mechanics, but will not have fun if even after finishing the game, they can't understand fundamental mechanics like client satisfaction and will have no reward for their efforts (grinding money until you can buy tier 3 tools, then the game finishes abruptly).”
    • “Instead of tediously double-clicking to delete it and then dragging it down from the task list each time you want to make any changes.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised for its quality and creativity, complementing the interesting art style and enhancing the overall experience. Reviewers appreciate that the audio is not just basic but well-crafted, contributing positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “Ignoring the gameplay, the graphics and music hold merit; they aren't just basic assets but actually well-made images and sound to a degree.”
    • “Interesting art style, very nice music.”
    • “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “While the graphics are impressive, the soundtrack is forgettable and doesn't enhance the experience.”
    • “The sound design is subpar, with tracks that feel out of place and fail to capture the game's atmosphere.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has been criticized for its implausibility, particularly the premise of an experienced apprentice suddenly taking over a shop without any knowledge, which many find odd and unconvincing.

    • “The story is incredibly engaging, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.”
    • “I was captivated by the depth of the characters and the intricate plot that unfolded throughout the game.”
    • “The narrative is beautifully crafted, blending emotional moments with thrilling action.”
    • “Nobody ever seemed to think about how odd the story is when an experienced apprentice ends up running a shop and has zero knowledge.”
    • “The plot twists felt forced and didn't add any real depth to the characters.”
    • “I found the storyline to be predictable and lacking in originality.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has moments of humor that users find enjoyable, but overall, it may not consistently deliver a comedic experience.

    • “The game is genuinely hilarious and keeps you laughing throughout.”
    • “I love the witty dialogue and clever puns that make every interaction enjoyable.”
    • “The humor is perfectly timed, adding a delightful twist to the gameplay.”
