The gameplay is described as fun and engaging with unique mechanics, focusing on learning secrets, blackmailing, or eliminating characters. However, players note issues such as a clunky UI, game-breaking bugs, and a lack of depth in the gameplay loop, leading to a sense of staleness over time. Overall, while it has charm and enjoyable elements, significant flaws detract from the experience.
“Very enjoyable if a bit buggy, it has a unique charm and fun mechanics.”
“The bugs are gamebreaking, the AI is stupid, the gameplay gets stale quickly.”
“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 game shows significant potential but is currently plagued by bugs that hinder gameplay, including issues like loading glitches and black screens. While it offers enjoyable mechanics and a unique charm, many users find it difficult to recommend due to these stability problems.
“Game has great potential but currently 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 3 games and cannot continue.”
“Very enjoyable if a bit buggy; it has a unique charm and fun mechanics.”

The graphics of the game are described as appealing but not particularly remarkable, suggesting that while they may not stand out, they are sufficient for the overall experience. Reviewers emphasize that the game's potential lies more in its gameplay and upcoming multiplayer features rather than its visual presentation.
