I'm glad I bothered to read some of these posts before I tried to play. It saved me from going through all the stages of grief, that everyone here seems to have already experienced. Starting with "Oh hey, it's basically Big Brother" and from what I can gather written here, then realizing "Oh... this isn't Big Brother, at all. Not even close."
Although, the 2 star rating for the game is kind of a giant red flag too, haha. Pretty rare around here, to see people take their personal time aside just to write bad reviews. So it must be as bad as I'm reading in these last few thread pages, unfortunately.
