The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players noting a lack of depth and variety in missions, leading to a repetitive experience. While some enjoyed the initial gameplay and found it relaxing, many expressed frustration with bugs that hindered mission completion and a desire for more engaging narrative elements and additional content. Overall, the game offers a limited storyline that could benefit from further development and expansion.
“There are a few additional elements (training) which I haven't tried yet & a storyline which pushes things along (but isn't all that well explained in the beginning).”
“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.”
“Enjoyed it, just wish there were more attacks on our office or more frequent story 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 worth of interesting content and after that it's just doing the same thing again and again.”
“I think this game is endless but little story and game is over.”

The game is currently plagued by numerous bugs and glitches, significantly impacting the overall experience and making it nearly unplayable at times. While players appreciate its potential and fun elements, the instability, including freezing issues and items disappearing, detracts from enjoyment and leads to frequent restarts. Many users express hope for improvements in future updates, but as it stands, the game's stability is a major concern.
“I know that it is an early access game, but the bugs and glitches are huge.”
“So as it currently stands, I can't recommend this game due to the sheer amount of glitches and bugs which make this game completely unplayable.”
“I really wanted to like this game, but it's so buggy it's basically impossible to play at times.”

The gameplay experience is marred by numerous bugs and crashes, significantly impacting player enjoyment and progress. While the core concept is appreciated and shows potential for future development, many users report frustrating issues such as inventory problems and game freezes that detract from the overall experience. Despite these challenges, some players managed to complete the game and express hope for improvements in future updates.
“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. 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 redo all my certificates. 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 work 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 described as a techie, Mr. Robot-inspired soundtrack that features dynamic song changes, enhancing the immersive experience without being overly distracting or generic. While players have the option to turn off the in-game music, a fitting soundtrack would complement the game's unique style and intensity, especially during high-score moments.
“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 early on.
“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.”
