No issues here. Runs fine for me. I haven't explored the whole map, yet, just visited one town so far. The driving sucks, but I got there and back without hitting another car or running off the road so that's a plus. Steam says a similar game is Vein. Well, I guess. Replace humans with zombies and maybe. The driving sucks there, too, so maybe that's it, lol. It's not bad, a bit empty, needs more details in the world. Flowers, grass, rocks, parks, places to visit that make it worth driving all that way. Coming back home and there was a long line of cars waiting at the crossing, no one walking across the road so I don't know what the hold up was. I waited a few minutes then said 'stuff it,' and went around them all. No other cars so it looked all the cars in the town were lined up there. They'd disappeared after entering and exiting my home. More quirky than buggy, IMO. More character customisation would be good. I don't like any of the presets but it doesn't even matter anyway as, in dialogue, it ignores your edits and shows the default look. I find it interesting, a few little gripes but no major issues.

Fun simple game. Not much depth. Once you do everything there is not much else to do more of just a continuous cycle of repeat. The social aspect needs work, its always the same stuff. But it is a fun game though.

I know this isn’t a “cozy” game but it’s seriously helping me during a gaming burnout from cozy games. It’s such a nice relaxing way to spend my time. I start out by doing a shift at the pizza spot, maybe running a mission for Austin, hit the grocery store if I need ingredients, go home and unload groceries and cook. Shower, eat, sleep. I invite npc friends over sometimes or go out to the club or bar for a drink and dancing. It’s such a good life sim. I already maxed level in the pizza place so I just work whenever I want. I’m about to dive into the other jobs and fishing soon. It’s like what I picture freedom would be like in real life if the economy wasn’t in the toilet. I’ll do the more risky business later as well. I’m excited to build up to a nice house/apartment. The lack of story is actually something I enjoy as I don’t feel pressured or rushed to get anything done. I control my own story.

I'd recommend hands down this game has so much potential no lie it has some bugs but as long as the Devs stay active this game should be something unique. Its very engaging especially keeping your businesses up and running I hope the Devs don't give up on this like some others. Bugs - TV has issues staying on after saves sometimes/ doesn't stay on when leaving have to reset after returning to owned building but a cool feature - Car quick reset does not work correctly when trying to set the car from phone - Objects will self place if character is looking at the floor - Car gets stuck very easily on high curbs -Once someone moves in the person is buggy to roam around the the owned building some buildings they wont move at all / buggy sitting on the couch if one is present but the person does sit eventually Likes/Suggestions -Love the grind -Add more business to own -Add Guns - not saying we need rivals killing the experience that you have to deal with them so often - maybe hunting would be a nice add on as well -Custom wall art -More interior furniture and appliances -Drug running is cool although more money for the sells would be nice -LOVE THE CARS!!!!! -PHONE SYSTEM IS GREAT!!!!!! Came back to edit with the game still open Overall I 100% enjoy the game even the way it is but some UPDATES WOULD BE NICE WE NEED GAMES LIKE THIS!
