The game's story is criticized for being poorly integrated and lacking clear guidance, leading to player confusion about its progression and objectives. Many players feel that the narrative is overshadowed by technical issues, such as mission bugs and a heavy reliance on paid content, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite some hidden quests and secrets, the lack of a coherent tutorial and frustrating gameplay mechanics leave players disappointed with the storytelling aspect.
“With a surprising amount of quests and secrets in every nook and cranny.”
“There seems to be a way to unlock this all via quests according to the developer but why does it not say in the map room?”
“Though, part of this is due to there being no real tutorial that explains you unlock the garage by participating in the story.”
“You created a game, but you don’t expect people to play through the whole story?”
“Then why bother creating the story if you didn’t expect people to follow it in the first place?”
“Though, part of this is due to there being no real tutorial that explains you unlock the garage by participating in the story, and halfway through the first area, you unlock a secret room that has options to buy the DLC pack and it heavily implies a need to pay.”

The gameplay is criticized for being short, with only four locations and a playtime of 6-8 hours, though future updates promise new content. While some players initially find the gameplay enjoyable, others feel it becomes repetitive quickly and perceive a push towards monetization rather than rewarding gameplay progression.
“I do find only 4 locations in the game to be short in terms of gameplay (6-8 hours), but with multiplayer and a ton of new locations coming in free updates later, it should be fine.”
“I find only 4 locations in the game, which makes the gameplay feel short (6-8 hours). However, with multiplayer and a ton of new locations coming in free updates later, it should be fine.”
“I feel this was an effort to make people feel trapped and pay, not knowing that you could unlock them via gameplay.”

The graphics have received criticism for appearing subpar, with some users likening the artwork, particularly on carpets, to AI-generated designs that detract from the overall experience. Many hope for improvements in future updates to enhance visual quality.
“If this is fixed in the future, I'd happily change my review, but for now, I can't progress. The artwork on the carpets in the game looks like AI-generated art, which leaves a sour taste in my mouth as an artist.”
“The graphics feel outdated and lack the detail that modern games offer, making the overall experience less immersive.”
“Character models are poorly designed and lack any real depth, which detracts from the overall visual appeal of the game.”
