The game's story is generally well-received, featuring a realistic and engaging narrative that enhances the overall experience. However, some players feel it lacks depth due to limited content and a focus on main missions, while others humorously compare it to games with minimal storytelling. NPCs add charm with their humor and unique quest lines, contributing positively to the narrative experience.

“It's a nice game, and the story is well done.”
“NPC characters are quite funny at times and interesting, whenever you get new conversation options out of them, as many of them have their own quest line.”
“This game could be perfect and someday it probably will be, but for now it's missing a lot of content and there are not that many things you can do except the 'main missions.'”
“🔲 this game has no story”

The gameplay is primarily focused on running to yellow circles, which can become frustrating due to the lack of a quicksave option, risking significant time loss from menu mishaps. Despite some repetitiveness and occasional FPS drops, players appreciate the RPG mechanics, humorous characters, and engaging monetary system, finding the overall experience enjoyable and entertaining.
“This game has RPG mechanics, a monetary ecosystem; spurdo-coins to buy stuff, under the counter from your mates (booze) or from official services.”
“This game is so good that I wrote this review after just thirty minutes of gameplay. I have 9.6 hours in it, and while the free time can be boring, it's fun. The characters are funny, and the mechanics are really good. It can be a bit repetitive in the first two weeks, but it should be that way! This is one of the funniest and best mechanically designed simulators I've ever played, though I do experience some FPS drops.”
“I actually like what they did outside of gameplay or technical problems.”
“The gameplay consists of 99% running around in yellow circles.”
“30 minutes of gameplay can go down the toilet just because you happened to open a certain menu at the wrong time. There's no quicksave option to safeguard against these occurrences, and you have to hope that the way you complete the daily tasks and interact with the AI manages to trigger all the correct things.”
“The gameplay can be a bit repetitive in the first two weeks, and while it has some good mechanics, it can drop in FPS pretty fast.”
