The monetization strategy for this game has been criticized for presenting a demo or advertisement as a full game, which misleads consumers and occupies valuable marketing space that could be used for completed titles. This practice is seen as a harmful tactic by developers to avoid costs associated with proper marketing, ultimately detracting from the gaming experience and community trust. As a result, many reviewers do not recommend the game.
- “It's an advertisement/demo for the full game (of which the developer only made one chapter), which you are expected to buy through DLC/elsewhere on the store.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”
