The gameplay is generally enjoyable with fun mechanics and a unique charm, though it suffers from a clunky UI and significant bugs that can be game-breaking. Players engage in a loop of learning secrets, blackmailing, or eliminating characters, but the lack of clarity on the consequences of these actions can lead to a stale experience. Additionally, AI issues detract from the overall enjoyment.
“Very enjoyable if a bit buggy, it has a unique charm and fun mechanics.”
“I may have just completely missed the mark, but the gameplay loop seems to be learn secrets from people, blackmail them to earn money, or eliminate them if you want for no apparent purpose (the game never really discusses what the danger of leaving someone with 'dangerous' loyalty would be or a person who is loyal but has the secret 'traitor').”
“The bugs are game-breaking, the AI is stupid, the gameplay gets stale quickly.”

The game shows great potential and offers enjoyable mechanics, but it is plagued by significant bugs that hinder gameplay, including issues like loading glitches and black screens. Many users express hope for future fixes, as the current instability makes it difficult to recommend.
“The game has great potential, but currently, it is too buggy to recommend.”
“By that, I mean that when you load a game, it glitches and the play field is black. Hopefully, they fix this soon as I have started three games and cannot continue.”
“Very enjoyable if a bit buggy; it has a unique charm and fun mechanics.”

“The game is visually appealing, and while it may not be groundbreaking, it has a charm that complements the gameplay.”
“The graphics are not overly complex, but they serve the game well and create an engaging atmosphere.”
“Even though the graphics aren't the main highlight, they effectively support the overall experience and potential of the game.”
