“In terms of performance, I had no issues besides some frame rate issues at the police station, which also sent my GPU temp from 70°C to 80°C. But the developer is very open about not being very good at game development and optimization, so I'll give them a pass on that.”
“Though the game needs more optimization and Linux support in order for you to get the true experience.”
“No pay to win, no engagement-optimized matchmaking, and the community is less toxic.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and demotivating, often feeling overwhelmed by the need to collect items and earn in-game currency to progress. While some appreciate the humor and charm of the game, the excessive grinding can detract from the overall enjoyment and lead to frustration.
“I spent way too much time grinding for money to pay the anime girl $1,000 and then trying to buy all the parts for the machine for the neighbor. Then I found myself grinding again to try to find 30 sticks for the machine, which I didn't do because progress was so slow and I was so bored. All that grinding just killed my motivation to keep playing, and the main punchline of the game just wasn't enough to keep me interested in pushing on further to see the ending, which I had no idea how close I was to.”
“Many of these plot progression macguffins require in-game cash, which you can get simply by grinding at your day job in your wage cage.”
“This sort of exploration collect-em-up I tolerated for a while, but it started taking the pee-pee when it made me chase around for a laundry list of things to buy in addition to grinding for even more money.”
