The monetization model of the game primarily revolves around a ticket system that requires players to watch ads to progress, which many find excessive and disruptive to gameplay. While some players appreciate the ability to play for free through ads, others express frustration over the frequency of ads and the limited ticket replenishment, suggesting that a one-time purchase option for an ad-free experience would be preferable. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable, but the heavy reliance on ads for progression detracts from the experience for many users.
- “This is the free version; there's no warning about paywalls in the description, so I installed it expecting to see some ads here and there. Instead, I found that the game has a ticket system where every choice requires a ticket, and you need to watch ads to get more tickets. Absolutely disgusting and shameless—half of your playtime will be watching ads.”
- “You are forced to watch ads in order to progress the story faster; otherwise, you have to wait.”
- “The amount of ads in the game is a bit annoying. Even if you buy tickets, you still get pop-up ads.”
