I also hate the mental state mechanic and having to use the bathroom I’ve always hated both. Despite the issues however mdickie is a legend and to this day I still play, these games were a big part of my childhood. ### 3/5 — not how i remember *2026-05-15, version 1.4.4* I used to play this game all the time and you could customize your character without having to upgrade and now you have to pay to upgrade that’s just a money grab but otherwise I love this game ### 2/5 — annoying *2026-03-26, version 1.4.4* needs work ### 5/5 — Controller support for backbone controller *2026-01-10, version 1.4.4* Please add backbone controller support for backbone controller ### 2/5 — Arests *2026-01-04* I get arested to fast I can’t do anything against it.
