The gameplay is currently limited and shallow, with only basic mechanics available that rely heavily on placeholders. Players report that they can quickly exhaust the game's content, often mastering all mechanics within a short time frame, which diminishes the overall experience. As the game is still in early development, many features and deeper mechanics are yet to be implemented.
- “For example, most 'sneak peeks' I do on early access or alpha titles take an hour of gameplay, and even then, I've only just scratched the surface of most games.”
- “I've played tycoon games over 20 years old with deeper mechanics.”
- “In Store Manager: Cellular Edition, I had covered all the mechanics inside of 10 minutes.”
- “Currently present mechanics are very limited.”
- “Everything is placeholder, so there's very little in terms of content and mechanics.”
- “The game is still in the early stage of development, as only basic mechanics are working - and even they rely on placeholders and mechanics not added yet.”

The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with players feeling that it is unfinished and exploitative. Users highlight the unrealistic pricing for marketing and hiring processes, which detracts from the overall experience and suggests a lack of genuine engagement with the game's mechanics. Many feel that the game prioritizes profit over player satisfaction, leading to frustration and calls for refunds.
- “Totally a cash grab; never finished. Steam needs to refund the ill-gotten gains to the players that are pure cons!”
- “There's fantasy prices for marketing, too - $100 for cold calling, $250 for a newspaper ad (one expensive newspaper), $500 for some sign flipper, $1000 for a radio ad, $1500 for a networking seminar (don't ask me how that's advertisement), $2000 for a TV ad.”
- “And I can't get over the hiring process, especially when you find people through word of mouth and like none of them; the game repeatedly reminds you with an extra message box that you'll lose the roster and the money you spend on job ads.”
