v0.75.2 beta
Game starts super cool and has you thinking it's a nice fresh experience with unique gameplay etc but quickly turns into yet another sandboxy grinder. I played 3 hours before calling it quits simply because the gameplay is way too repetitive and money+stats grind is a real slog. You need to pay rent weekly and pay for food/clothing/upgrades etc but money making is very slow. You can either choose to work a normal job and make a few hundred dollars or you can stream on a chaturbate/twitch hybrid. Income on the stream seems completely random. Some days I got literally thousands while other times I get 2 dollars and 1 subscriber. Couldn't afford any body parts because they costs tens of thousands and I never got anywhere close enough for even 1 piece, economy feels terribly inflated resulting in slogfest grind. The stream is extremely monotone because in the beginning you have no positions unlocked nor does the bot do or say anything. There is a chat window that quickly becomes annoying because you cannot scroll in it, so banning people is way too hard when chat scrolls constantly without being able to freeze it. The mental health bar drains rapidly and refilling it takes forever, you can refill it by about 0.01% when taking walks or patting the bot. After research I learned later in the game I can fix this issue some other way, but that's very late in the game and I am frustrated already. Overall fun just got drained by the death-grind and the resulting monotony.
