- “It's not funny, and the story barely even makes any sense.”
- “Well, going into this game I knew it would be horrible and a game that no sane person would buy, but I bought it because, just like AVGN, I love to play horrible games. It's about 5 hours of cringey, annoying, unfunny FMV.”

monetization

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a "cash grab," targeting younger audiences with meme culture and pop culture references, which some players feel detracts from the overall quality. Reviewers express that such games should not be priced on platforms like Steam, as they lack substance and rely on gimmicks to attract sales.
- “We don't need meme games on Steam; they aren't funny, they aren't good, and most of all, they shouldn't cost money if they are on Steam. This is a new breed called the 'cash grab,' where they decide to take money from sixth graders and under by inserting pop culture references to make them go wild. Then they get their friends to put positive reviews so that it is mixed, or people put positive reviews ironically because that is funny for some reason.”
- “The monetization in this game feels exploitative, targeting younger audiences with flashy pop culture references and memes, which ultimately detracts from the overall experience.”
- “It's frustrating to see a game that could have potential being reduced to a cash grab, relying on gimmicks and nostalgia rather than delivering quality content.”
