“I hope you will update this game after you launched that piece of trash named "Night Club Simulator".”
“Game is interesting and had a very good premise. Unfortunately the company itself has abandoned this game so there is no point in actually getting it unless you like the atmosphere. Last major update that was mentioned was all the way in…”
