Overall, while the narrative elements are intriguing, the absence of a robust single-player experience leaves some players feeling unfulfilled.

Every 1 to 10 minutes, the game freezes, then it kicks me out of the game instantly, and the phone starts to slow down and lag. If you can fix this issue and make the game more stable, I will probably be able to reinstall this game and play it naturally without any problems.”
