Ads every 5 seconds

Not worth it and idk how they are a 4.2 star rating when I decided to actually look at the reviews after the fact. Every review shown is only a 1 star, talking about ads and having to use real money. The ads alone are frustrating enough.

Horrible Game

They strictly built this game to take people’s money. Not fun or interesting. If you don’t pay for premium which is $4.99 WEEKLY you will have an ad every 5 seconds (I’m not even exaggerating) also will cost you money to make decisions required to play the game.

We’re sorry the experience has been frustrating. We’ve recently added a new chapter and made updates to improve gameplay progression and reduce interruptions. Ads and timers can also be disabled with an in-app purchase for smoother gameplay. Your feedback helps us make the game better—thank you for sharing!

Bad Game - finished it in 5 minutes after hefty costs

You cannot play this game unless you pay a hefty amount. This is 100% paid to play game. I went ahead and did that, thinking that maybe I would get a better gaming experience… But I did not. The game doesn’t offer any gameplay other than answering questions and very limited interior designing options which are only 3. You don’t get to actually decorate anything. You have to pick one of the three premade designs. You also only get three different cuisine/restaurant types, all of which follow the exact same storyline. THIS GAME IS A SCAM. PAY TO PLAY IS NOT WORTH IT.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. We’ve recently added a new chapter and made updates to improve gameplay progression and resource management. While the current design options are limited, your feedback about customization and gameplay variety is incredibly valuable and will be shared with our team. Ads and timers can also be disabled with an in-app purchase. Thank you for sharing your thoughts—it helps us improve!

You have to pay to play

No game should feel like we have to pay to enjoy it. Dont waste your time downloading this unless you’re trying to pay a monthly subscription or a yearly. Devs are money hungry now a days.

Needs to be more developed—costs the player tons of money to play!

The game needs chapters or something. It will cost the player a significant amount of money to play which is unacceptable and not enjoyable.

Review

This game has a fun concept, but when I have to spend my own money just to play it it’s not worth it. If you pick all the good options in the game, you run through the money that you have on the game and then end up having to
Spend all of your own money just to enjoy it, which I am not going to do.

You can choose all the cheapest options (basically all you can afford) and then you end up giving someone food poisoning. You can pay the 150k settlement or 5 diamonds but after you setup everything (again cheapest options) you only have 125k left. So you get to buy diamonds or more money to continue playing. Deleted instantly after this. Can’t even call this a game. Ads are also way to frequent - yes you can pay to remove them but it’s a waste of money. Way better free restaurant games out there

Sorry for the frustration! The challenges are meant to add strategy, but we see how it can feel limiting. We'll review the balance and frequency of ads. Thanks for the feedback!

Terrible Game

I loved the idea of this game but unfortunately I didn’t even get to play it, you have to choose all the cheap options (unless you spend actual money) and when you choose those options you’ll end up having to change from the cheap options to the expensive ones because someone will get sick and you’ll have to pay 100k which you won’t have the money for or purchase a expensive option which you won’t have the money for unless you pay real money. This game isn’t designed for fun just for money it’s no way you can play it without spending your actual money. I’ve also read reviews and people seem upset even when they do spend their money. I will be deleting this game.

We’re sorry it felt that way. The intention is to offer strategy and choices, but we see how it can feel like pay-to-play. We’ll review this balancing issue to make it more enjoyable. Thanks for your honest feedback!
