What players say

NOT BEING UPDATED ANYMORE!! GAME WAS A BLAST WITH FRIENDS WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AND WAS BEING ACTIVELY UPDATED!!! Just a heads up, if youre thinking of getting this game, no longer being updated. it is fun but no telling how well it will run or how long it will hold your attention without any new features. I played it almost 17 hours that how long it held my attention lol last time i played it was July of 2025...
