No good ending!

The game starts out as a fun computer game that requires sunscreen. But players find it not responsive to their needs and players’ input are ignored.

Best AR game

Have been playing this game for years and have loved every aspect of it. The commitment level is whatever you want it to be, got free time play alot, don’t have a lot of free time don’t have to play much. Want to get out and visit new places then take part in anomalies!

10 years & bursting

Great game, community, and keeps you active as you need to walk to make connections

Is this a gang war with 2 options

Every mmo deserves to have clans and crafting and the team selection is obviously lame or there would be even numbers. Pump those team choices the cia needs a better game to steal data from.
