The game's stability is mixed, with some users reporting tracking glitches and unpolished elements, such as inconsistent voice acting and a lack of cultural authenticity. However, others have experienced smooth performance without significant issues.
“Some unpolished elements: the voice actor changes in the middle of an interaction, it's like the waitress has multiple personality disorder or something; there's no attempt to make it feel like the country of the target language--no signs in your target language, no landmarks, and no ethnically appropriate characters. I've never seen so many Caucasians speaking Chinese in one place; and I've had little tracking glitches show up.”
