The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with players noting that missions often feel repetitive and limited in number. While some found the initial gameplay enjoyable, many encountered bugs that hindered mission completion, leading to frustration. Overall, the narrative experience is described as minimal, with hopes for future updates to expand content and improve mission diversity.
“Had really fun 2.5 hours playing the story and I'm sure there'll be more content soon.”
“Brilliant game, but short; can't wait for new missions, really good relaxing game.”
“I hope that they will add more missions in the future and maybe an endless mode.”
“I think this game is endless but little story and game is over.”
“There are 6 mission 'types' but there is almost no variation between individual missions of each 'type'.. essentially there is currently about half an hour worth of interesting content and after that it's just doing the same thing again and again.”
“Rather, there's a somewhat limited number of missions before you just completely stop getting them.”

The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous glitches and bugs that render it nearly unplayable for many users. Frequent freezing, disappearing items, and other gameplay interruptions have led to frustration, despite players recognizing the game's potential. While some acknowledge that early access may account for these problems, the overall consensus is that the game requires substantial improvements in stability to fully enjoy its features.
“So as it currently stands, I can't recommend this game due to the sheer amount of glitches and bugs which make it completely unplayable.”
“However, after acquiring a few skills and progressing to the middle of the game, the game freezes after completing three or four requests.”
“I really do love the idea of the game, but it's so extremely buggy I have to close the game to get things done.”

The gameplay experience is marred by numerous bugs, including freezing, crashes, and inventory issues, which significantly detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these technical problems, players appreciate the game's concept and express hope for future improvements and expansions. Overall, while the core gameplay has potential, it currently suffers from stability issues that hinder progress.
“I really love the idea behind it and really hope to see development continue and the core gameplay expanded on.”
“It might be like their other product Car Mechanic Simulator where it's worked on for a while with DLC upgrades, but then the game is replaced with a new polished version.”
“Well, the context of the game is good and this is definitely the best service game on Steam, but it has so many bugs. After 7 hours of gameplay, my game froze and crashed. I lost all my money and was forced to do all my certificates again. Also, my inventory bugged and I was left with only 3 usable slots. Sometimes when I accept a contract, the game freezes and I need to restart it. Not to mention that the items (boards, Wi-Fi cards...) are constantly bugging on the working table or on the rack. The shelves are also bugged, and when you place an item on them, the next day they just disappear. But I somehow got through these bugs and finished the game.”

“The game suspends its gameplay for 6 hours, but the actual hours of the game are only an hour, and the remaining five hours are due to defects in the game that are not fixed at all. I do not know how the developer released it like this.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality, but some users report issues with blurriness and small text that makes reading difficult, particularly in tutorial infographics. Additionally, there are minor bugs affecting the user experience, such as an unexpected sound effect during tutorials. Overall, while the visuals are appealing, improvements in text clarity and tutorial presentation are needed.
“The graphics are very good, and I have not come across any bugs yet.”
“On top of that, a lot of the visuals are blurry and difficult to read because the text is just way too small; for example, during the first network management course, you can hardly read the sticky notes in the hotbar because the text is too small and blurry.”

The music in the game is characterized by a techie, cyberpunk-inspired soundtrack reminiscent of "Mr. Robot," featuring dynamic song transitions that enhance the gameplay experience without being overly distracting or generic. While players have the option to mute the music and play their own, a well-curated soundtrack would better complement the game's unique style, especially during high-stakes moments like player score displays.
“The music should not be distracting but also not too generic.”
“While this isn't necessary (as players can turn off the music and play their own from YouTube), it would better fit the unique style of the game.”
“Include player high scores with an intense timer and cyberpunk/tech music playing.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and repetitive, often requiring significant time investment and frequent backtracking that detracts from the overall experience. Many feel that the grind becomes apparent within the first few hours, making it a frustrating element of gameplay.
“It especially makes the game aggravatingly tedious when you have to go out of whatever you were doing, walk over to another part of the room, grab something you need, and then walk all the way back.”
“Gets grindy and repetitive within the first two hours.”
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
