    The game's story is described as slow-paced and somewhat disjointed, with players expressing frustration over unclear faction approval mechanics and bugs affecting quests. While some find the mafia and cop-related quests intriguing, others feel the narrative lacks depth and creativity, often overshadowed by gameplay focused on objectives rather than storytelling. Overall, the story shows potential but currently feels underdeveloped and tedious.

    • “Interesting storyline although I am not sure what I could have done to keep from being arrested and thrown in jail for 20 years.”
    • “The game doesn't tell you how much approval you're going to lose with a particular faction until after you complete the mission.”

  • graphics9 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the interesting art style and aesthetics, particularly the grainy effect and AI-generated artwork.

Overall, while the aesthetic is appreciated, it is overshadowed by concerns about the game's content and execution.

    • “Art style is interesting; I like the aesthetics (the grainy effect).”
    • “The game itself has great graphics and the controls are easy to use.”
    • “Real shame with such a fantastic setting/music/graphics that this is just another boring simulation of mind-numbing tasks like cleaning stairs.”

    • “All artwork in the hotel is 100% AI generated.”

    • “Love the concept, but the execution is buggy and full of AI-generated slop.”
    • “More of a prototype than a game; hopefully they come in and get some real assets, make the controls less clunky, and fix the glitches.”
