  • monetization
    57 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It was obviously a labor of love and I highly recommend it and buying the no ads version!”
    • “I'm paying as soon as possible, this is like Sally Face but with way more of a horror vibe than a point and click vibe, which is amazing and not at all what I expected, especially because I wasn't expecting that dynamic of actually running from the monsters, as well as having to crouch and hide, but sooo worth paying for no ads, asap! ❤️”
    • “The amount of ads is crazy!”
    • “It's like every 5 minutes I have to watch ads, which is kind of annoying and disrupts the continuation of the game.”
