I cannot like this comment more than once but seriously. If you're going to make a game like this you need to have clear steps for players to understand how to do things. Otherwise it becomes an obnoxious game of whack-a-mole trying to hit the right set of triggers to play the game.Or the phone hints system wasn't trash and actually got updated too.
Last i checked the dev didn't put in all that effort just for people to get angry and leave nasty comments about their product. People actually want to play but are increasingly put off by not only the intended grind but the lack of clarity. You cannot have both of these elements in a game unless you want people to leave the game.
