The gameplay is described as enjoyable yet plagued by bugs and glitches that disrupt the experience. While it offers a detailed, step-by-step approach to life simulation akin to "The Sims," many find the mechanics confusing and the difficulty level unnecessarily high, particularly with the lack of a pause feature during house building.
- “Nice gameplay.”
- “This game is similar to 'The Sims' but more affordable and worth the price. It has simple graphics and detailed life activities (like step-by-step cooking and managing tasks), but the gameplay is challenging as you need to take care of everything and control each step carefully, unlike 'The Sims' which is easier to manage.”
- “The gameplay is engaging and requires careful management of tasks, making it a rewarding experience.”
- “There are consistent bugs and glitches that alter the gameplay.”
- “The mechanics are quite confusing, and the game feels much harder than it needs to be.”
- “Very similar to 'The Sims' (but this is cheaper and worth the price), this game has simple graphics and detailed life activities (like step-by-step cooking and flushing items in the toilet), but the gameplay is difficult. You need to take care of everything and control each action step by step, unlike 'The Sims' which is easier to manage. A current problem is that time does not pause when you build the house, making time pass too quickly.”

The graphics of the game are considered subpar, with users noting issues such as significant frame rate drops that detract from the experience. While the visuals are simple and reminiscent of "The Sims," they lack detail and polish, leading to a less immersive gameplay experience. Additionally, the game's mechanics can be frustrating, particularly with time management during house-building.
- “The graphics are simple yet effective, capturing the essence of life simulation with detailed interactions like cooking and managing daily tasks.”
- “The visuals are reminiscent of 'The Sims', but this game offers a unique charm with its straightforward graphics and engaging gameplay.”
- “While the graphics could use some optimization, the overall aesthetic contributes to an immersive experience.”
- “I feel as if this game would be perfect to play if there was a way to optimize graphics and prevent FPS from dropping drastically to where the TV sounds like WWII going on.”
- “Graphics need work.”
- “Very similar to 'The Sims' (but this is cheaper and worth the price), but this game is simple in graphics, with details on life activities (step-by-step cooking, making 'stuff' in the toilet and flushing it, etc.) and difficult in gameplay (you need to take care of everything you want and control everything step by step, unlike 'The Sims' which is easier to handle). Currently, the problem is that time does not pause when you build the house, making time pass too quickly.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a double-edged sword; while the realistic details like managing groceries and kitchen supplies add depth, they can also become tedious and overwhelming due to time constraints and expenses. Despite the challenges, some players appreciate the learning curve and find enjoyment in the experience, even if it feels more demanding than similar games.
- “It feels like it's harder than The Sims due to the tedious actions of having to buy enough groceries, plates, and frying pans. What sounds like a fun, realistic detail becomes too much of a hard task due to expenses, time, and the lagging on top of that.”
- “I died three times and learned new things every time. I can see people will think this is a tedious game, but I freaking enjoyed it.”
