Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“No, no this isn't worth the price of "2 coffees".... and, actually that's the price of about 50 coffees, because I don't buy coffee from coffee shops at a 100x markup, I buy coffee to make at home. And that's the price of weeks of coffee…”
“It's kind of a cool game but it's very boring tbh, there's a lot of reading and there isn't much gameplay to it. Maybe it's just not for me but there's a lot of work put on this game. The ending locked behind a paywall is a bit weird…”
