Ratings and reviews

After finishing Underworld Office, I kept searching for something similar and it brought me here. I just gotta say, love this game. Ive been binge playing for the past few days after installing it. The characters all have their own unique personalities, and honestly, I never expected some of what was to come in the story. It was shocking. Especially when the main character was involved. Alot of the choices were difficult to choose, and some even emotionally pained me to click. Overall, 11/10.

With a suspenseful plot, interesting characters, a phenomenal soundtrack and very interactive gameplay along with so many possible endings, the game itself has got the whole package. However, what gives this 3 stars is the TICKET SYSTEM! 40 tickets last very little time, causing more than half of your game time to be watching ads. It feels like it's Pay to PLAY. I recommend having tickets regenerate over time, or at least give more tickets per ad. Otherwise, pretty cool game!

It's a fun game so far. But my issue with it is the tickets and how fast you blow through them. By watching an ad, you get 40 tickets. But the time for the next ad to get 40 more is constantly growing. It was a minute, now it's 3. This makes it harder to keep motivation to play. You can pay to get more, which is fine. Then you can play another game and beat certain objectives to get a bunch of tickets. Why not just give us more tickets for the ads we watch, keeps us playing your game instead?
