This is a pretty great game with amazing renders... if you used the anti-cheat patch. If you didn't then prepare for a pathetically bad, time wasting grind. I accidentally used the old method, still linked on the front page at time of writing, and now my install is basically borked. Not going to waste the time downloading this again just to get around the developers pathetic attempts at padding by making you waste time.
Even if you get past the stupid, stupid money grind there's just numerous instances where it feels like the game just doesn't respect your time. As an example:
* Go to unlock a safe. Search room for a clue to get in.
* Attempt to use clue. Fail at it.
* Go talk to someone for a tip and go do it again. This process requires that you click nearly 50 times to solve.
* Get one object. Deliberately leave an obviously important item.
* Go to a new location and be told you can't enter without the obviously important item.
* Go back to the safe the following day. Click 50 more times to get obvious item. Wait until night and go back.
None of that needs to happen. It's not interesting. It's not world building. It's pointlessly wasting your time. With the developer putting a laughable amount of effort into preventing people from bypassing the money grind it makes it feel like they have very deliberately set out to waste your time and are offended at the idea that you might have other, better, things to do. Hard pass.
