Very addictive game. The only thing I dislike is that some properties can only be purchased from a web browser and you cannot connect your crypto wallet unless it's in desktop mode. Other than those issues the game is great fun. I've already purchased ten properties and have construction started on 2 of them. I'm still learning but I'm enjoying doing so.

It's okay, the setup overall is okay. I feel there could be improvements, some including, a few filter options for nearby property search. Better explanation/directory on finding treasures. Tilia verification doesn't work, and web pricing doesn't work when it needs to pop up or foward me to those places. I'm still struggling to level up, I refuse to spend money on the game, I shouldn't have to. The overall opportunities in this game are amazing, but getting started is really difficult.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. Could you provide more details about the Tilia verification and web pricing issues by contacting support@upland.me? Screenshots are highly appreciated. For leveling up without spending money, we recommend treasure hunting and completing missions, and our community is a great resource for tips.

It's a cool concept but it's almost impossible to start and play. All you do is sit there wandering around hoping to find a property you can afford. Most properties are way out of your price range unless you plan on spending real money. I haven't even been able to play the game properly because of the insane economy system. Every city is oversaturated with competition. The ads made it seem as if you could, "buy your hometown" this is false. The only places you can go are a few metropolitan areas
