The monetization of the game is criticized as a cash grab, with users feeling misled by its "online co-op" tag and expressing disappointment in its lack of content compared to similar titles. Overall, it is perceived as an unworthy investment that fails to deliver value.
“The game shouldn't be tagged with 'online co-op.' I bought it because I felt bad for the dev, but it's exactly like PT without any of the cool parts. It feels like a cash grab by the developers and should be on itch.”
“The monetization strategy is frustrating; it feels like the game is designed to push players towards spending more money rather than enjoying the experience.”
“I was disappointed to find that many features are locked behind paywalls, making it hard to fully enjoy the game without spending extra cash.”
