Horrible. Completely fake

Either I am the most stupid, absolutely ridiculously low iq person on the entirety of planet earth, or this game is completely fake and none of the containers exist. It’s just a hoax to get you to buy the subscription. And if it is real, why are all of the caches micro?! That makes them infinitely impossible to find! If you’re not afraid of bugs, go ahead I hope you figure it out. You won’t. And if you have found one of these, I would love you to show me. Thanks, and please don’t spend your money on this.


also it’s boring ngl
