was really fun when I bought it, should of been free to play imo with paid cosmetics or something and needed specific things to be fixed ASAP, there was a game breaking issue I eventually realized where you can easily tell the difference between bots and players because of stutter frame lag the players had and from what i remembered it was either never fixed or fixed way too late for me RIP

I love this game! But there's only one problem. Its really hard to find a game because then I try to find public game there's none :( the only way to play this game is to play with friends or find people on the matriarch discord server

My friends randomly bought this game, and insisted I played with them, so I bought it. I didn't expect much at first, but for the price that it was, $2 (60% on sale), which is the price of a chocolate bar, I found it very fun. I played it with 4 friends of mine + a random player. The idea of trying to pretend you're an NPC to make sure your friends don't suspect you is a pretty cool idea. I'd like to see more of that in games similar to this. Warning to those who plan to buy this: Given how rare some people can host games on there, sometimes none, you definitely need friends to play it with. Thankfully there's also the discussion/forums found on the store page that can also help you find others to play with. So there you have it. If you can manage to get people you know to play this with you, definitely buy it for some arcade fun.

fun game, not to many players but its super fun when u get people playing it. made a lobby and eventually random ppl joined and we all learned to play together. Was super fun once u learn it Id say similar to among us.

March 2024

seems super interesting but publicly matched games are not available... I was on stand-by for 10 mins but didn't see any game rooms poppin up. I'd really like to play it but am I required to make friends who own this game or have time to do so with me? omg i'm so friendless
