Man I was so obsessed with this game, it is LITERALLY THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN, but now I'm just completely heartbroken!!!
I just learned (the hard way!) that this game is in no way free to play, but instead costs you an ABSURD amount of money. You see how it says "powered by chatGPT" on some of the videos at the top? Yeah well chatGPT isn't free, it's EXTREMELY expensive. You'll have to consistently keep paying quite the hefty price just to be able to play the game once the free credit runs out, which took me just around 6-7 hours of gameplay.
It gives you a $5 credit when you sign up and get the key, and well, it obviously runs out with about 6-7 hours of gameplay. So let's say you play the game EVERY day for 7 hours, that's going to be roughly a $5 charge FOR EVERY SINGLE DAY. That's not ok, I can go buy a $20 game and clock in 600 hours without a single CENT of a charge. I wish I never tried this game, because unless there will be some sort of solution to this, I'll be stuck remembering how (yet again) the best game I have ever seen was stripped away from me just like that.
I am going to develop some SERIOUS trust issues with game developers after this, literally ripped me to pieces by making such an amazing game, but then making it public and "free to play but donations are appreciated" when that's clearly not the case! Please just make this game self dependent somehow before literally crushing people's dreams like this. I don't think I'm going to recover from this.
