  • story
    1,734 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally described as engaging and intriguing, with many players appreciating its immersive narrative and character development. However, the frequent interruptions caused by challenging mini-games to progress the story have led to frustration, with some players feeling that the gameplay mechanics detract from the overall experience. While the storyline has potential, the difficulty of the mini-games often results in players losing interest or feeling compelled to spend money to continue.

    • “The story is compelling, love the immersive environment, the characters were interesting enough.”
    • “Great game with an interesting story.”
    • “The story is engaging, graphics good, interface good.... but the fact you have to play candy crush every five minutes or so to be able to progress just utterly ruins the flow of the story.”
    • “The story is mediocre, the dialogue is pretty awful, many of the interactions really have nothing to do with the storyline, and the time between minigames gets shorter and shorter, to the point where sometimes you're literally getting maybe 5 lines of dialogue before you have to go back and solve more puzzles.”
    • “The game itself is great, but the mini games you have to play to proceed with the story make it worse.”
    • “The story had a lot of potential until then, now I just feel like I've wasted my time.”
  • monetization
    149 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the reliance on microtransactions and the difficulty of progressing without spending money. While some appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, others feel that the game becomes nearly unplayable at higher levels without in-game purchases, leading to a perception of it being a cash grab. Overall, players desire a balance between optional ads for rewards and a fair gameplay experience without excessive paywalls.

    • “No ads, awesome storylines, not extremely difficult as for play and interactive style; also, not so easy that it takes no thought.”
    • “I was enjoying this game until I made an in-game purchase to finish a puzzle, and the game crashed, causing me to lose my progress, but it still took my money.”
    • “The puzzles do become increasingly challenging as the game progresses, but they're still able to be completed without having to make any in-game purchases.”
    • “Good game ruined by microtransactions.”
    • “It's a shameless grab for microtransactions and it breaks up the gameplay.”
    • “The mini games and ridiculously expensive in-app purchases ruin what would otherwise be a great and interesting game.”

Overall, the game shows potential but is often marred by its monetization strategies and challenging gameplay elements that detract from the overall experience.

    • “The gameplay itself is fantastic and I just really love this game!”

  • grinding
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players express frustration over the increasing difficulty of these puzzles, which often require spending real money to bypass, leading many to abandon the game despite its intriguing narrative. Overall, while the story is compelling, the grinding mechanics detract significantly from the overall experience.

    • “I only wish the story wouldn't get interrupted by a tedious mini game every couple of minutes, only then to force you to play that for what feels like forever to finally be able to progress a little bit until the next interruption.”
    • “The story is great, but it is kept from you by a mini game so tedious and so frustrating that you forget the entire story trying to break through the enforced game boundaries.”

    • “It's my first time playing, but I think it's very interesting. I hope it doesn't freeze on me. The first time I saw this game, I wanted to play it so badly. It's good to make some friends and enjoy other things in the game.”
    • “Great concept, I was enjoying it a lot, but after the text that I sent to Michael saying 'how can I help', I get a call from an unknown number, and it doesn't matter if I answer it or not, but the game kind of freezes. I can still click on things, but nothing happens, and the notification from Michael won't stop going away even though Michael didn't send me anything. Please fix that; I really want to enjoy the game.”
