Users generally find the game lacking in replayability due to its repetitive mechanics and limited unique events. While there are multiple career paths, they function similarly, and relationship options feel shallow, with no progression beyond dating.
- “Even as a teenager, I remember finding it a little repetitive and lacking in replayability. There are several career ladders, but they all function the same way. There aren't many random or unique events, and while you can date someone, it doesn't seem like you can do anything beyond that, like marriage or having kids.”
