Players feel that the gameplay lacks depth and engagement, criticizing the hunger, sleep, and mood mechanics for not significantly impacting the experience. There is a call for more economic elements and diverse activities, as the current content is perceived as empty and monotonous.
- “If you are going to have hunger, sleep, and mood mechanics in the game, they need to actually affect gameplay; otherwise, they are just busywork.”
- “The developers could add more economic elements, including player needs like food, sleep, and other aspects, as well as opportunities to buy more properties, decor, cars, and houses. However, it will still be a bit boring; the game needs more mechanics. At the moment, it's just empty and lacks content.”
