The game lags sometimes


Always Sometimes Working...

Trypno

Let me start by saying, I love the story line of this game, and they way your choices and actions have consequence. However the story is always brought to a screeching halt as the game goes from engaging an intriguing, to a work simulator. Gameplay frequently boils down to grinding (working) mindlessly to earn enough money for some sort of task, usually bacon bombs (the only food nutritionally worth buying), rent, or saving up for one of the stupidly expensive bus tickets in the game. I understand needing to lengthen the game, but forcing the player to grind for an $800 bus ticket, just to end up in a town where the process must be repeated, starts to feel more like an experiment in psychology, rather than a game. The story, however, is where this game holds its own. Besides the meta storyline of the creators placing themselves in the game, the main storyline is a bittersweet, yet very realistic take on the 'do anything for love' genre. Seems as if the game could be worth replaying just for the possibility of different endings, but in the end and despite all your decisions, the meat of the game seems like it would still be the same on multiple playthroughs. So it becomes up to the player to decide whether or not replaying is worth it. If it weren't for the monotonous, time filling, artificial inflation, grind aspects of the game that made it feel lazy at times, this would have been a five star review.


Sad face :(

I saw this before and really wanted to try it out and play it. As soon as I pay money to play this game and play it, I can't even open the game. It crashes as soon as I open it! So upsetting!! Please fix it!

The game was working perfectly and I loved it but now I can't even play the game. All that comes up is the title screen and then the game crashes. Not sure if this is the new iOS 9 update or what but please update/fix the app!!!!

Has potential, but actual life is more fun

The shtick here is that the developers built in a huge number of ethical and narrative decision trees in order to impact the everyday living and consequences experienced by your character. That principle sucked me in, because I like most of the few "morality sim/RPGs" that exist (like the old console game Fable). The first couple hours of gameplay were enjoyable because I could see the direct impact of real-time decisions, make some challenging moves and interact with NPCs in a more or less believable and interesting way. The game quickly turned to mindless grinding -- when I was fortunate enough to stumble across the place *where* I was supposed to grind. Killing hogs, moving boxes, sleeping on filthy mattresses in alleyways -- yeah, why am I NOT outside IRL right now? And it's always sometimes depressing. I admire the game's stated goal, but in my view it constituted an amateurish, monotonous and ultimately unsuccessful attempt.
