The gameplay is heavily influenced by RNG, leading to inconsistent outcomes even for players familiar with the mechanics. Players engage in a loop of hiring actors to develop their character within a structured city divided into districts, offering various strategies for progression, though initial options are somewhat restricted.
“The gameplay loop involves hiring paid actors to take up various roles around an artificial city to raise your character, divided into five districts.”
“There is a lot of gameplay variety, with many different strategies you can use to raise your character, although you'll be somewhat limited at the beginning by who you can find and who comes to your aid.”
“The machine and I - hire small mechanics.”
“There are no guides in English, and the discussions are largely about how RNG-heavy it is, to the point where those who've figured out the mechanics still fail consistently due to layers of RNG.”

The game features a compelling story that enhances the deckbuilding and drafting mechanics, drawing comparisons to "The Truman Show." Players appreciate how the narrative contributes to the overall mood and experience, even if some choose to skip it during gameplay. Despite minor technical issues, the storytelling is considered a significant strength of the game.
“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.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found the narrative to be predictable and uninspired, failing to capture my interest.”
“Despite the game's mechanics being solid, the story was a major letdown and felt like an afterthought.”
