“I have been playing this game for a while, and although I love the story element and all the different clothes that are available, I have noticed that it has become more and more expensive to buy the 'premium' outfits.”

The gameplay of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its engaging mechanics, beautiful graphics, and interesting storylines.

“The society mechanics were a bit frustrating, but then I realized how expensive (in-game currency) it would be to even craft those clothes.”
“But there's no good mechanic to grind for the items you need to craft new clothing, and what is the point of a dress-up game where you can't get new clothes?”
“It's near impossible to rely on gameplay to get enough crafting materials to actually progress without having the patience of a comatose rock.”
