The gameplay is generally considered straightforward and enjoyable, with a solid foundation and exciting concept, but it suffers from numerous bugs, optimization issues, and unclear or incomplete mechanics—especially concerning the blood sugar system and NPC interactions. Players suggest improvements like better explanations, more diverse NPCs, refined core mechanics, and additional content to enhance immersion and gameplay depth. Overall, the game shows potential but requires further development to deliver a polished and engaging experience.
- “The game mechanics are pretty straightforward, and the groundwork is really exciting!”
- “The graphics are amazing, and the gameplay is exciting and enjoyable.”
- “Core gameplay is great but it needs some optimization and bug fixes; even though there are a few bugs, it's still really good for an early access game.”
- “Right now it feels too minimal and leaves players confused about core mechanics.”
- “Adding actual patrol routes, a clear wanted timer, and more predictable mechanics would make it feel more intentional rather than random.”
- “Core mechanic: if your blood sugar is rising despite not eating anything, you need to buy blood sugar syringes... except you can't use the syringes.”

The game suffers from significant optimization issues, causing inconsistent and often poor performance even on high-end hardware, including frequent FPS drops and crashes. While some improvements have been made, bugs and lag persist, making the gameplay experience unstable and necessitating further performance updates before a smoother experience can be expected.
- “The game itself is very good, the gameplay is good, but it has a lot of bugs and optimization issues.”
- “Once the game is optimized, it will be a fun game; the concept of the game is enjoyable, giving Borderlands graphics matched with enjoyable gameplay vibes.”
- “Core gameplay is great but it needs some optimization and bug fixes. Even though there are a few bugs, it's still really good for an early access game.”
- “A pretty fun game but a couple of things: 1. The more you sell of a product the lower the sell price, which would normally be okay but with 2 people running around selling bread, after 5-10 sells the price was down to $1 from $4 a slice. 2. The optimization of graphics with a 9950x3d, 64GB DDR5, and a 4090 on all low settings with resolution at 25% resulted in 3-8 FPS.”
- “Performance fluctuates drastically; one second I'm at 170 FPS, the next I'm at 30 on a 4080s/9900x setup.”
- “My friends and I kept crashing, the cities would load in and out, the UIs are poorly optimized, and there are no quality of life features.”
