    The gameplay is described as having potential but currently feels more like a demo than a complete experience, with a limited duration of about an hour.

    • “It does have the structure to become a full game with just these mechanics.”
    • “Like add more letters for each day, a mechanic to show how much you censored correctly or something, and some extra sound effects, and this can be a great game that I would recommend people to buy.”
    • “This feels like more of a demo than a fully fleshed out game, which is fine, just know that it's like an hour tops of gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay section of the store page hints at a third option, and I would have liked to have some guidance on how to get there.”
    • “Gameplay feels a little sloggy, and not really clear.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The random events and challenges keep the gameplay fresh, ensuring that no two sessions are ever the same.”
    • “I don't get the feeling that my choices really make a difference to the flow of the game, and it has very little replayability, but it's a super idea and should be expanded on.”
