The gameplay is centered around hiring actors to fulfill roles in an artificial city to raise a character, with a strong emphasis on strategy and variety. However, players face significant challenges due to the game's heavy reliance on RNG, which can lead to frustration even for those who understand the mechanics. Additionally, the lack of English guides limits accessibility for players seeking to navigate the game's complexities.
“[i]Gameplay loop:[/i] You hire paid actors to take up various roles around an artificial city to raise your girl, divided into five districts.”
“[i]Gameplay variety:[/i] There are a lot of different strategies you can use to raise your girl, but you'll be limited somewhat at the beginning by who you can find and who comes to your aid.”
“-[u]The machine and I[/u] - hire small mechanics.”
“There are no guides in English, and the discussions are largely about how RNG heavy it is, to where those who've figured out mechanics still fail consistently due to layers of RNG.”

The game features a compelling story that enhances its unique deckbuilding and drafting mechanics, drawing comparisons to "The Truman Show." Even players who skip the narrative still feel the game's strong emotional atmosphere, indicating that the story significantly contributes to the overall experience.
“This is a really great deckbuilding/drafting game that is accompanied by an extremely well-made story (something akin to 'The Truman Show').”
“Unique draft card game experience with an interesting storyline.”
“But more than that, it's a game that, even in my last playthrough where I skipped the story, it builds towards one mood and, even in a secondary language and the occasional Ren'Py error (which you solve by hitting ignore), it 500% nails the experience it's going for.”
