“24 hours for 5 minutes of gameplay is a bit ridiculous.”
“You literally have to wait 24 hours to have 3 minutes of actual gameplay.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for its reliance on a restrictive energy system, which forces players to wait long periods or make in-app purchases to continue playing. Many users express a desire for the option to watch ads in exchange for energy, as this would alleviate frustration and enhance gameplay without requiring real money. Overall, the current approach is seen as a cash grab that detracts from the gaming experience, leading to player dissatisfaction and potential uninstalls.
“It's a great game that gives you your own choices and there are no ads.”
“One of the few free-to-play games where I've actually made in-app purchases.”
“May as well sell the app as a whole game than use in-app purchases.”
“With such a blatant and in-your-face cash grab, I'll be uninstalling.”
“I get that your only in-game purchases are energy; but the fact that you barely get a chance to get into it before you have to pay or wait is a very easy way to kill the game before giving it a chance.”
“The game would be better if the energy cost was lower, energy replenished in a shorter amount of time (seriously, 24hrs?), it had more opportunities to replenish energy, or the game simply had a set cost (no in-game purchases).”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, primarily due to the long wait times for energy refills, which limit gameplay to only a few choices per day. While the graphics and storyline are appreciated, the excessive waiting detracts from the overall enjoyment, leading some to consider quitting the game.
“I understand that limiting players' playtime leaves them hooked - wanting more, but having to wait approximately 24 hours to receive enough 'energy' for only 4 or 5 choices is tedious; it takes the magic away from the game.”
“I love the artwork, I was enjoying the story... however, when you only get a refill of energy once a day, and it is only enough to make five choices, it makes it a long and tedious process.”
“Very tedious gameplay due to long wait for energy; it would be better if decisions didn't require so much energy.”

Overall, the game offers significant replayability due to its engaging story and side content, but players express frustration with the lengthy reading and energy consumption system, which can hinder the experience. Many wish for a way to fast forward through previously made choices to enhance replay value without the time commitment. Adjusting the energy mechanics could further improve accessibility for new players.
“This game has a lot of replay value.”
“Lots of replay value for hours of endless play over time.”
“I wish there was a way to fast forward to choices after the first play, because there's a lot of replay value but it's very long to tap and read again during the side stories.”
“You need to make it so that one can refill energy more often to make it more playable!”
“I love the game, I love the graphics so much, the game's story is really interesting so far, but what I don't like about it is the energy system. Consuming 20 energy for every choice is asking for a little too much, because you get a choice quite often in the game and you don't want to waste it in just one minute. I think you should lower the energy consumption to 15 or 10 to make the game more playable for new players.”
