The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players enjoying the initial missions but expressing disappointment over the limited narrative depth and repetitive mission types. Many users noted the lack of variety and the finite number of missions, leading to a feeling of stagnation after a short playtime. While some found the gameplay enjoyable and relaxing, there is a strong desire for more content and a richer storyline in future updates.
“Brilliant game, but short; can't wait for new missions. Really good relaxing game.”
“Had really fun 2.5 hours playing the story, and I'm sure there'll be more content soon.”
“I hope that they will add more missions in the future and maybe an endless mode.”
“Enjoyed it, just wish there were more attacks on our office or more frequent story interactions with the bad guy instead of only like 3 missions or just warnings from him.”
“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's worth of interesting content, and after that, it's just doing the same thing again and again.”
“I think this game is endless, but there is little story, and the game is over.”

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 the game's potential and enjoyable concepts. While some players acknowledge that early access may account for these problems, the overall consensus is that the game requires substantial improvements in stability to be fully recommended.
“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 and technical issues, including crashes, inventory problems, and disappearing items, which significantly detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these challenges, players appreciate the core concept and express hope for future improvements and expansions. The game shows potential but currently suffers from a lack of polish and stability.
“I really love the idea behind it and really hope to see development continue and the core gameplay expanded on.”
“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. However, I somehow got through these bugs and finished the game.”
“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.”
“After finishing everything and completing the tutorial, here are a few things that I can see fixed quickly that would improve gameplay substantially.”
“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, etc.) 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.”

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, such as an unexpected sound effect during tutorials, that detract from the overall visual experience.
“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 switches that enhance the atmosphere without being overly distracting or generic. While players have the option to turn off the in-game music, a well-curated soundtrack would better complement the game's unique style and intensify the experience, 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 that detracts from the overall experience. Many express frustration with the need to frequently backtrack for items, leading to a sense of aggravation within just a few hours 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.”
