    The game currently suffers from numerous bugs and frequent freezes, often interrupting progress and forcing players to restart tasks. While it shows fun potential, especially in multiplayer, the buggy and incomplete state significantly impacts stability and overall playability.

    • “A staff member freezes almost every day part way through a task.”
    • “You can't take over service of a customer when your staff member freezes, so you cannot save your progress and are forced to replay your day, losing any progress you made.”
    • “Unfortunately can't recommend, it's a buggy mess but I'll come back in a year to see if it's fixed. Fun when it works but lots of game-breaking bugs at the moment.”

    • “Graphics look awesome, gameplay is great for an early release.”
    • “Love the art style.”
    • “The graphics are well put.”
    • “Requested a refund on this game because the developers only support Nvidia graphics cards and not AMD graphics cards.”
    • “No game developers should ever favor one graphics card company over another; that should be a user preference, not a developer's preference.”
    • “Usually, I can handle aggressive camera rotations for about 2 hours before I get dizzy, but this game is on another level, even with the graphics on minimum.”

However, some users experience occasional FPS drops despite having high-end GPUs, indicating room for further refinement. Overall, while performance is solid, improvements could enhance gameplay smoothness.
