The gameplay features a unique blend of city-building, real-time strategy, and influencer mechanics, allowing players to construct and manage various eco-friendly establishments. While the combination of these elements is praised for its creativity, some reviewers feel that the gameplay lacks depth and challenge, often feeling more like a narrative experience than a robust game. Overall, it presents refreshing concepts but may need further development to enhance its gameplay experience.
“The gameplay of the campaign, divided into missions, consists of an RTS part, where you build a base in a city park and produce hemp, build a coffee shop, warehouse, living quarters, alpaca farms, or even hemp farms atop skyscrapers, everything ecologically clean.”
“I like the combination of different mechanics.”
“I feel it lacks depth and challenge in the gameplay part; right now it feels more like a story.”

Overall, the combination of a compelling plot and unique gameplay mechanics offers potential, though some aspects may need refinement.

“Obviously I am biased because I created the music, but I actually think this game has a lot of potential. I like a lot of elements about it, but I feel it lacks depth and challenge in the gameplay part. Right now it feels more like a story.”
“Most of the achievements are for just going through the story; there are a few grindy ones where you have to do a specific action a certain number of times, but those aren't too bad.”

“While the soundtrack has some good moments, it ultimately fails to enhance the overall experience of the game.”
“The audio quality of the music is subpar, which detracts from the immersion and enjoyment of the game.”
