The game is described as a gacha-style experience that does not include microtransactions, allowing players to complete tasks and collect outfits without additional costs. However, there are concerns about recent updates that may have altered the game's focus and monetization strategy, leading to perceptions of it being a cash grab.
“It's basically a gacha game without the microtransactions where you do tasks and collect new outfits.”
“This review was written for an older version of the game prior to the cash grab name change. The version I reviewed had nothing to do with a virtual girlfriend, but as far as I know, the update only changed the name and nothing else, so neither does the game really.”
