The game's story aspect is criticized for needing significant improvements, including updates to the storyline and user interface. While it features a sandbox story mode and three scenario sandboxes that serve as tutorials, the narrative is minimal and primarily serves to prepare players for the more open-ended gameplay in the "second life" mode. Players find the story mode challenging and lacking in engaging missions, suggesting a need for more content to maintain interest.
“There are a few different modes to the game as well, a sandbox story mode and 3 scenario sandboxes.”
“The 3 scenarios are good to play to help prepare you for what you will need to do in the story mode.”
“Story mode can be challenging and unforgiving if you don't know what you're doing.”
“Little story, but they are mainly tutorials for when 'Second Life' (the sandbox part of the game) gets released and then you do your own thing.”
“It needs polishing, tuning, smoothing, options update, UI update, overlay update, story line update.”

The gameplay is marked by several bugs and mechanical issues, including frustrating controls and physics problems that need refinement. Despite these challenges, players see potential for the game to excel within its genre, noting its unique elements compared to similar titles. Overall, while the gameplay requires further polishing, it shows promise as an early access title.
“I was able to overcome the problems. I can see this game becoming something big in its genre. It has elements of other drug games (Weedshop, Basement), but I think it stands out on its own far more. Sure, the controls are frustrating at times, and some of the gameplay still needs to be ironed out, but you really have to look past the little things in an early access game.”
“A few lingering bugs (some minor... some majorly annoying), sometimes mechanics just decide to break and the physics need attention for sure.”
“Sure, the controls are frustrating at times, and some of the gameplay still needs to be ironed out.”

The graphics are considered average for a Unity game, lacking standout features. Additionally, while the voice acting is in French, English subtitles are provided for accessibility.
“Graphics are okay for Unity, nothing special, and the voices are all in French, but they are subtitled in English.”
