The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which often disrupt gameplay. Many players find the subscription prices to remove ads—ranging from $6.99 to $29.99 for limited time periods—unreasonably high, especially since the ads are not entirely eliminated even after payment. Overall, the forced ads and high costs for ad removal significantly detract from the gaming experience, leading to many users considering uninstalling the game.
“My only complaint is the amount of ads but also how steep the no ads price is, especially since it's not forever but only for 30 days.”
“Pretty good, I don't like that the no ads payment is only for 60 days, I feel like there should be an option for permanent no ads.”
“Good game, but $10.99 for 60 days of no ads is insane.”
“Very fun premise for a game, but the ads are unbearable... they are constant, and I often can't skip them without accidentally opening the ad - we all know this is done on purpose.”
“The game isn't riddled with ads but they're often enough that this issue is more than I'm willing to put up with.”
“You have way too many ads than the average game, too many errors, and glitches for that price.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it frustrating due to repetitive tutorials and a lack of engaging narrative. While the story mode is described as entertaining by some, others feel it detracts from the overall experience, with a focus on building mechanics overshadowing any meaningful plot development. Overall, the story seems to be a secondary element that does not significantly enhance the gameplay for many users.
“Story mode is entertaining.”
“First time enjoying the quest game more than the building game.”
“Not a fan of the story mode but the rest is addictive.”
“There's no story at all; I thought it would be something fun that would make you look for clues like a detective game, but the character just tells you exactly where the bad ones are, making it feel more like a puzzle with no depth.”
“Been past many levels and the game has the tutorial plot over and over again, which becomes tedious and frustrating.”
“I really liked this game, but the main storyline popping up ruined it for me, as it detracted from the overall experience.”

The humor in the game is often criticized for being unfunny and nonsensical, with players finding the dialogue from suspects to be more frustrating than amusing. The constant changes in gameplay mechanics also contribute to a sense of annoyance rather than humor.
“This game is maddeningly annoying with its constant changing of rows and columns, and don't even get me started on the daily challenges. The 'clues' that some of the suspects provide don't offer any real insight at all; they just say something ridiculous and unfunny.”
