The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the prevalence of in-app purchases required to unlock content, which many feel is excessive and frustrating, especially for younger players. While some users appreciate the absence of ads, they suggest that offering ad-based unlocks for limited-time access to features would be a more favorable approach. Overall, players express a desire for a more balanced monetization strategy that allows for free access to more content through ads rather than mandatory payments.
“There are also no ads, you can change the outfits, the skin color, the hair color, the hair style, the beard style.”
“But there's no ads so the game dev has to make money somehow!”
“I love it so much that you should really try it 💙😂 you should I love it, no ads or lags.”
“I really don't want to give even one star to this game but it is capable of... because this game only has two things open: the cafe and my house. I am really angry because I really want to know other places too but it asks money for everything. It's always in every game if it doesn't have any ads it will surely ask you to pay money.”
“This game doesn't unlock everything; it's not fun. You even need to pay real money to unlock all the places you like, and there are too many ads. Please fix this and unlock all the places so I will give it five stars.”
“I would recommend getting Yass Pets: you get everything free; you just have to watch ads for more stuff. In this game, you have to pay; by the way, you don't get stuff free. Don't get this game; you're wasting your time.”

“Honestly, I have never seen another game on the Play Store with super graphics, control, and movement of people.”
“The graphics are digital but the game is so silly that it has whole interesting parts like police station, mall, market, and other places locked behind in-app purchases. Hardly can I play the cafe and house; please don't install it, trash game.”
“This is a very glitchy game with very bad graphics. Yes, this is only a game, but why do we have to buy places? Very bad game, don't download this game.”
“This game is so bad because it has terrible graphics, and the daycare is not usable as a home for those characters.”

The game's story aspect is highly praised for its creativity and the ability to create personalized narratives, allowing players to immerse themselves in their own unique tales. However, many users express frustration over limited access to locations and the inability to save their stories, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the requirement to pay for unlocking content is a common complaint, with players wishing for more free options to enhance their storytelling.
“I love this story game, even though it was locked because I can't go into some places.”

“I played this game before and my story of the game was the kids spending time with their cousins and parents. That's my story.”
“This is not an urban city story; this is a very, very small town. It should be called 'the very, very small town' not 'urban city stories.'”
“Worst game ever! I only have one place and all is locked. How am I supposed to make a story?”
“Man, this game is too expensive. We can't pay for every story; that is just wrong, so no one should bother installing the game.”

The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with some users enjoying the tunes while others find them repetitive and annoying, especially since the songs cannot be changed.

“I can't get into the game; it was just your company name and it was just sitting there. There was music, but it won't open. I only see red; I can't play :(”
“It doesn't let me play the app and I don't know why. All I heard and saw was the music and a red background with a white colored star... that's all.”

“Beautiful, no glitches, and worth the time downloading. Thanks for making this wonderful game!”
“I love the game 💜💜, it's like you're living in a story that you make, but the reason I rated it four stars is because the game freezes sometimes and not all the buildings are open.”
“I hate this game. It freezes on the loading screen, and it would be a lot of fun if we could watch a video to unlock everything for some time. It doesn't even deserve the money.”
“This app works, but it freezes and I can't walk or do anything... just smile, cry, laugh... etc.”
