  • stability49 mentions

    The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches reported by players, including key binds malfunctioning, character freezing, and disappearing items. While many acknowledge that these problems are typical for an early access title and express hope for future improvements, the overall consensus is that the game is too buggy to recommend at this time. Players are encouraged to provide feedback to developers, but caution that the experience can be frustrating due to the instability.

    • “The game runs great and plays pretty well for an early access title.”
    • “I played 7 hours of this game and in those 7 hours, I suddenly experienced a million glitches such as items in the house disappearing (all of them and I bought them) then my character getting stuck (I was enjoying the game until that), so I would not recommend it to anyone unless these are fixed as it is a broken game.”
    • “The game is a buggy mess.”
    • “I have had glitches where I would not be able to click on anything and would have to bring up the map and take it back down to populate the cursor again.”
  • graphics24 mentions

    The graphics in the early access version of the game show potential but are currently marred by significant issues, including choppy performance, glitches, and inconsistent visual fidelity, particularly with character customization options. While some players appreciate the beautiful details and realistic lighting, many report that the game demands high-end hardware to run smoothly, often resulting in out-of-memory errors and frame rate drops even on lower settings. Overall, while the graphics have a strong foundation, they require substantial refinement and optimization as development continues.

    • “Very realistic, even if the graphics are a little whacky by now.”
    • “I played the game for about 1 hour, I couldn't discover all the beautiful details in it. The graphics are amazing, the content, the voices, the light is incredible, everything is beautiful.”
    • “It's like The Sims with a very GTA V first-person graphics vibe.”
    • “For the little time I had this game, I can openly say that even for an early access title, it is not good. I had the graphics set to the highest possible settings, yet the clothes and hair still looked horrible. Some hairstyles didn't even resemble what you chose, and the clothes you could buy didn't always fit right on the body, sometimes even glitching through.”
    • “Graphics still need work along with bugs.”
    • “Graphics are choppy in a lot of areas.”
  • gameplay13 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is currently described as inconsistent and buggy, with many users recommending waiting for significant improvements and polishing before diving in. While some players appreciate the unique mechanics and potential of the life simulation aspects, others find the gameplay frustrating due to issues like a cumbersome cooking system and lack of updates. Overall, the game shows promise but requires further development to enhance the user experience.

    • “Very promising life simulation game that offers a different type of gameplay than most games of the genre!”
    • “I really enjoyed the gameplay narrative and mechanics, the way it starts with the photo is very clever, and the customization is quite detailed.”
    • “Very realistic gameplay, it's awesome how you work for yourself and when you buy things they just don't appear; you have to get your own merchandise in boxes to carry home.”
    • “I recommend waiting until this game gets better and more polished. The gameplay is very wonky right now; it's annoying, especially with things like cooking being way too complicated.”
    • “I highly recommend waiting on this game. It has a lot of potential, but it's not ready at all in its current state due to bugs and poorly polished gameplay systems.”
    • “Do not waste your money. There are no real updates, the mechanics are terrible, and there are way too many bugs.”
  • optimization7 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many users highlighting significant performance issues and bugs that detract from the experience. While some players note improvements over time, others feel that the game still requires further optimization and fixes to reach its full potential.

    • “The game has become so much better optimized.”
    • “Just needs some optimization and bug fixes and it will be perfect.”
    • “Well to devs, you guys can improve this well; for example, the game should be optimized.”
    • “The game is very poorly optimized.”
    • “The game is just poorly optimized.”
    • “Well to devs, you guys can improve this. For example, the game should be optimized, and there is a weird glitch where people start running after I interact with them.”
  • humor2 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mix of absurd situations, such as characters needing to find toilets to relieve themselves, which can be both funny and frustrating. Additionally, the presence of amusingly incorrect wording and spelling adds to the comedic experience, though it also highlights a need for better proofreading.

    • “I didn't spawn with a toilet and almost pooped myself (I don't know if that's an actual thing, yet my character stayed doubled over until I found a toilet in a bar to poop). It was hilarious and made me angry at the same time.”
    • “Some of the wording and spelling are hilariously wrong, and proofreading needs to take place.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, often feeling that the minimal rewards do not justify the effort compared to simpler alternatives like purchasing food items. However, some appreciate the unique mechanic of transporting purchased items back to their apartment, which adds a distinct element to the gameplay.

    • “Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little bit, but it's a tedious process for a minimal reward when I could just purchase a bag of chips or a muffin from the cake house and get almost as much hunger back.”
    • “The one thing that is tedious, but I think makes this game different and unique, is that things you buy are put into a shopping bag or cardboard box, and you need to haul it back to your apartment.”
  • story2 mentions

    The game's story aspect is currently underdeveloped, as it is in early access; while it facilitates personal role-playing and improvisation, players seeking a structured narrative may be disappointed.

    • “The game has made it easier to think of things on the spot while coming up with your own storyline, but there really isn't anything developed yet. If you're looking for a story, this is not the game for you yet.”
    • “There really isn't anything developed yet in terms of story. If you're looking for a narrative experience, this is not the game for you at this stage.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    The game offers significant replayability due to its evolving gameplay mechanics and extensive customization options, including relationships, jobs, and home design. Recent updates have enhanced the experience, introducing new interactions and activities that encourage players to explore different lifestyles and choices within the game world. Overall, it provides a fresh alternative for fans of life simulation games.

    • “The game has improved significantly with recent patches, making it more playable than ever. The new city adds depth to gameplay, allowing for relationships with unique NPCs, each with their own names and personalities.”
    • “The game world is rich with interactions, from customizing your home down to the smallest details to enjoying various activities like going to bars, playing darts, and even working at different jobs. There's always something new to explore.”
    • “With features like an in-depth cooking system, layered clothing options, and the ability to get tattoos anywhere on your body, the game offers endless possibilities for creativity and personalization, making replayability a strong point.”
    • “The game lacks significant replayability; once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to return.”
    • “After finishing the game, I found that there wasn't much left to explore or do, making it feel like a one-time experience.”
    • “While the initial gameplay was enjoyable, I quickly realized that the lack of diverse outcomes and choices severely limits replayability.”

    The music in the diner is noted to be quite amusing, adding a lighthearted and entertaining atmosphere to the experience.

    • “The soundtrack perfectly complements the game's atmosphere.”
