Fun but difficult, the extreme limitation of saves makes every decision seem like life or death.

the game was really good... until they decided to make you have to pay to actually enjoy the game (having to wait several minutes just sitting there waiting for the timer to be done) and constantly try to pressure you into buying it on top of also adding ads to the game. Like seriously, I understand and want to support indie devs, but when it comes to monetization you gotta pick one or the other—not both. There's a reason why we don't like EA, and y'all are walking a thin line.

I've played the game before and it was decently fun then, even with its grammar errors. However, it seems recently they've added in a little caveat that after each chapter you've got to wait at least 5 minutes then watch an ad to continue, unless you want to pay 7 bucks to go a little faster, yeah no, I'm good.
