Hey. Don’t play this game unless you’re prepared to give them a lot of money. The game and the payment system is manipulative and predatory.
Graphics are beautiful and the story is very engaging and well done. This draws you in, but the rate at which you gain free energy to continue the storyline is insulting.
For example, the next step in my story requires 50 energy to interact with, but I’m out. It takes 7 minutes for 1 energy to restore. So, I can click that object in 5.8 hours…. How much game play will those 50 energy points gain me? Probably 30 seconds of dialogue.
You will be very tempted to buy energy. Imagine Netflix shut off your show half way through an episode and asked you to wait 5.8 hours to see 30 more seconds of what happens next, or pay $35 for another 3 hours!
I have bought a few energy packages now. Let’s look at one pack, which costs $35 and gives about 4000 energy, like 2-3 hours of play. If I had waited for all that energy for free, it would have taken 19.45 days. So in 19 days of playing perfectly (logging on regularly so your energy bar doesn’t completely fill) you would get a total of (let’s be generous) 4 hours of play. Maybe 20 minutes per day, probably split up into 2 minute blocks. Does that sound like fun? It’s not, it’s inconvenient and hard to follow the trail of the story.
You will go to sleep for 8 hours, wake up and you’ve gained only 68 energy. You literally will use that in 5 minutes.
It’s toxic and manipulative. The game is long, I’ve dropped over $200 and it’s still going. I wish I hadn’t started now. Save yourselves folks, step away from this game, unless you want to pay them through the nose.
Also, the server is constantly going down. It gives me an error and disconnects regularly. I have to restart the game probably half a dozen times a day. So not only am I paying them an exorbitant cost for this game, I get crap service. I’m guessing they put most of their budget into building the beautiful graphics which draw in users, and not enough on robust infrastructure.

If you are patient like myself you can play the game without having to spend money; however, you will watch a lot of videos to get energy. Like the graphics and the story line and the characters. The annoyance is that very often it says there is a discrepancy (which is not player related) and it knocks you out of the game, pushes you backwards and steals energy. This is a bug that definitely needs to be fixed. It really makes me want to delete the game and not continue. Please fix. Thank you.
