The frequent need to wait for tickets and the low rewards for completing chapters further detract from the experience, making it difficult for players to fully enjoy the interactive storytelling without spending real money.

“It's a money-hungry cash grab that gives you the false pretense that you'll be able to make your own decisions in this story, but they don't warn you that you're limited to the worst of them unless you cough up the dough.”
