  • monetization
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Monetization in the game is heavily reliant on ads, which players can either watch to unlock story elements or pay to remove.

I skipped the scene and the creatures were like, 'Did I make the right choice?' Ahhh, okay, sure. You can sit through the ads or pay to remove them, but I'll be uninstalling.”
