MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds0 of 38 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Music that does not fit the game - but at least is the best part of it - terrible gameplay, dysfunfunctional artwork, and the game does not exit properly - still registers as running in Steam, and even trying to forcefully close it using Steam will not work. Must fully exit Steam instead. 2/10.
