Bug stops the game
I was really enjoying this game, but I encountered a bug on day 6 and am unable to continue. I started a second game and had the same issue. I contacted support and it sounds like I'm just stuck.
Their response:
Unfortunately, due to the time elapsed since the game was launched, we don't have any dedicated active development teams available, but we can confirm that we have received and recorded your report.
That said, we do apologise that you have encountered this problem and we do appreciate the effort that you have made to provide us with this now recorded information as we may use it to revise and resume development in the future
Not fun
Son spent the whole time checking people in and out of a city. Felt like he couldn’t do anything else and thought it was boring.
Core gameplay is fun.
I have a few problems with this. First off, I just want the core gameplay. I don't want to talk to these morons in unskippable tutorials for an hour. Second off, there is a very annoying problem in which I cannot see the contraband items in the storage compartments. I would open one, see nothing in it and then it would yell at me whenever there was clearly nothing in it. I played this with MQ+ and this month seems to be weaker than the previous ones. Seriously, stop with the hand holding and let me play the game. I don't need Nevus telling me about Internet memes.
UPDATE:
After playing this for a good bit I have to admit it's growing on me. The household appliance characters are funny and I'm starting to like them, the gameplay improved significantly, the gangster bot who comes through I like to help him with his cupcakes and that makes it more fun and my Mentor's conspiracies are actually getting interesting. This game is definitely getting better after the VERY slow start. Also it is WAY too easy to do things accidentally and control and items finally started appearing. Also explain to me how a bot with an explosive is cleared to go in but a Leggy can't read a dang book?!?!?
Horrible
I played for a couple minutes and I got soooooooo bored it’s just not interesting
Fun
Has great gameplay, yes there’s lots of talking but it’s a game that has an underlying story, the quirky comments are part of it, and make it more enjoyable! Once you get passed the tutorial you learn new gameplay mechanics and such it’s a version of papers please with a futuristic twist which is just fun
Bad game for today’s climate
This just made me think of all the problems with ICE and immigration right now. Don’t let the red robots travel…. It just felt very racist without being technically racist. This was not at all fun and actually seemed very problematic. Immediately deleted it.
