    • “There is no story, you just roll up to your motel and start making changes.”
    • “At the beginning of the game, you get these little quests like 'add an additional room', 'fuel 20 cars', 'sell 20 items', 'rent 10 rooms', etc., but these stop very early in the game.”
    • “☑ no story”
  • grinding4 mentions

    • “The editing of the motel is really disappointing.”
  • monetization3 mentions

While players can generate significant income through ads, leading to a comfortable in-game balance, the current setup may diminish the challenge of managing finances.

    • “Once you have six ads, you might generate such a large income that you don't have to worry about money.”

  • humor3 mentions
