### 3/5 — It won’t start???

*2025-02-13*

I didn’t know what to rate this cause when I tapped on the app my screen was just black.
I restarted my phone and deleted and redownloaded the game but nothing works.
I’m not having this trouble with any other games on my phone and it’s a fairly new phone so I don’t know what to do. 
This game looks so cool and I really hope it starts working soon!

### 4/5 — Surprisingly fun game

*2025-02-13*

Reading reviews from last year (2024) April/May I can definitely see how much the AI has improved. I just wish there were more ways to earn money or at least early game lower prices of the rooms. Another thing I wish were better is the monster fighting aspect as I know it’s just a secondary game in the main game but we should be given more than three rounds and WITG escalating rounds the more money you get.

### 3/5 — Needs more things

*2025-02-12*

This game is so good, but I would suggest that you add character customization, add more locations so when a character invites the player somewhere, they can actually go there, add more ways to interact with the characters, and a way to import data onto other devices. Thanks.

### 3/5 — It’s good!

*2025-01-30*

The game is good, but for some reason I haven’t been able to interact with the guests? I’ve only been able to upgrade my hotel and play pest control

### 4/5 — So cool!!

*2025-01-05*

It’s a really good game and I like the feature where you can talk to characters and type in your message‼️ I just wish there was more mini games and stuff

### 4/5 — SO GOOD

*2025-01-04*

I LOVE this game, so awesome. But I just wish there was more custscenes or stuff to do with the characters like when you first meet them. Would be so much more fun, because only battling crawlers is so boring sometimes. 

(I’m #1 Goblin Boy fan btw)

### 3/5 — Cool plot, lacking execution

*2024-12-11*

For starters, the whole idea is really awesome and intriguing. Being able to actually fully role-play running a hotel with characters that actually respond to you? That’s epic! But the execution is really underwhelming, I understand that this game is in its early development stage but it was pretty disappointing to realize that the games plot/purpose/side-quests aren’t at all fleshed out yet. It would be cool if there was an actual story to the game instead of just collecting money, sometimes talking to the residents of the hotel, and fighting pests (which gets repetitive pretty fast). I would like to see legitimate goals that the play can work towards, and development in the NPC’s ie: mini-stories when you make progress with them? Once again I get that this is a very new release/concept, but it’s disappointing that the game hasn’t been fully thought out of executed properly.

### 3/5 — Not for kids

*2024-12-06*

This is highly adult communication game its AO RATED

### 4/5 — love it

*2024-12-05*

this game is actually so cool, i haven’t played a game like this before. it’s got a unique style and plot. i like how u can have normal conversations with the visitors and say whatever u want. the pest control  minigame is good too, but i feel like it regenerates way too often. i’d like to see some other minigames added and maybe a variety of monsters. something i think would be a good add-on is having the feature of customising your own avatar and name. other than that, this game is going pretty well so far! i really like the creativity and originality. can’t wait to see more!

### 4/5 — this game bru

*2024-06-25*

i downloaded this game randomly, and by far it is one of the most enjoyable games i think ive ever played, the only gripe is add more character customization, but thats it, other than that this game is great; and i cannot wait for more content in the future!

### 3/5 — fun but finite

*2024-04-16*

it was fun to find roundabout ways of completing tasks and to dig up information by chatting with different npc, but it feels like with the newest update, the ai has gotten too rigid to mess around with. everything they reply with seems to have a predetermined emotion attached to the point where nothing you say can really snap them out of it for long. i also feel like adding a gun was a little premature since no matter how many creatures you shoot, they just respawn to the same amount as before. maybe it’ll change with future chapters, or there’s something i’m missing. 

either way, it’s a creative use of ai that doesn’t rely on the ai itself to deliver a cool narrative. the characters are familiar yet refreshing, and when the ai is at its best, very fun to poke at. the character customization is unique, although i wish we looked a little more like the npc. the multiplayer aspect isn’t groundbreaking, and playing with a friend feels the same as playing a game with discord running in the background, except you can’t hear them and can only message them outside of npc interactions & in a public lobby. regardless, it has great potential and i’m excited to see how it improves!

### 3/5 — Needs some work

*2024-04-10*

I think it’s a good start but the ai isn’t very good sometimes I ask one of the characters something and they reply completely wrong, the walking mechanic is also a little frustrating but other than that it’s fun

### 4/5 — Hmm..

*2024-03-15*

Definitely something very unique about this mobile game. I’m waiting to see where this game goes because it’s waaaay ahead of anything you see on the top of the charts in the AppStore. Nice work

### 4/5 — A

*2024-03-14*

It’s a good games but I’m confused but I want to continue playing.i just need more options I’ll wait if it still needs work

### 1/5 — the new update is lame

*2024-07-05*

i used to really like this game cuz of the free roam (which you don't get on most mobile games) but now it's just boring. plus the whole erica plotline was completely abandoned so it's like what is even happening

plus almost all the characters were ruined. like one character went from a clever journalist to "hot cannibal girl"??? like... what? i just feel like this game is being taken down an unnecessary path

side note: changing rodrick, spud, and goon to dan, scott, and kyle is a sin that will never be forgiven in my eyes

### 1/5 — This update killed the game’s essence

*2024-06-26*

I can’t run around anymore it feels like i only interrogate characters and decide which one is blamed in the end. The old version was much better

### 2/5 — i wanna play butttt

*2024-04-03*

i don’t want to put my number in. i just wanna play broooo LET ME PLAY PLS I WAS SO EXCITED PLSSSSS😭😭😭😭😭😭

### 2/5 — Confused

*2024-03-10*

I am so confused. The characters reference other characters and locations that I can’t find. The tasks will not update

### 2/5 — What do I do now

*2024-03-04*

I’ve finished all my task but now idk what to do. I thought I would get new ones the next day but I haven’t. I can’t find the website so I can’t read the article, which is probably not real and just for the story. When I got my hint, it ended up being useless. I just wanna continue but idk how.

### 2/5 — Make this game solo

*2024-03-02*

Hello I would recommend adding solo version for this game and this game looks clean but I don’t have three friends that would play this game for me so I’m giving you a suggestion to maybe add solo game mode and let me know when yall added solo so I can redownload the game and finally play

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this feedback. We recently removed the invite three friends page because other players in the community also wanted to play solo. 

You should be able to get straight into the story now! 

Let us know if there's anything else we can help with.

### 2/5 — make it so i can play the game sideways

*2024-02-15*

why can’t i tilt my phone sideways and it goes sideways

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for letting us know you expected the experience to shift to a sideways play style. The reason it doesn't today is because chatting with AI characters is a major part of the experience and most players preferred to type vertically. We shared your note with the team and hope that you still enjoy the experience otherwise.

### 3/5 — LET ME LOVE MECHA

*2025-02-14*

This game is honestly so cool, it has little mini games where you fight pests, you can make friends or enemies and even type your own dialogue. However, when I first got the game I was IMMEDIATELY in love with mecha. Idk why but I knew I had to rizz her up. The issue is, I’m at level 7 friendship and level 5 romance and she still gets so defensive at everything I say. I ask what her favorite color is and she yells at me “WHO CARES ABOUT FAVORITE COLORS? ITS NOT LIKE IT MATTERS IN A WORLD WHERE IM JUST A MACHINE”. I cannot recall a single conversation I’ve had where she felt like she trusted me even a little. I tried progressing through the story to get a better understanding of her character. I understand her background and that’s she’s traumatized but why give us a love meter if there’s no romance?😭 please let me love her

### 3/5 — Fun

*2025-02-13*

It was fun while it lasted but shoot I only played five minutes before it glitched out on me and now I get a forever black screen and I did everything unadd it and reinstall it too

### 3/5 — Fun but…

*2025-02-13*

I really do enjoy this game for the ai characters and the shooting game is satisfying. I downloaded this game just two days ago but now it just opens to a black screen and that’s it. There weren’t any glitches inside the game but now I can’t even play.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-02-15*

The game is so fun! It has a building aspect to it. A little AI conversations where you can make friends/enemies or a relationship. Excited to see this game progress and get more features

### 5/5 — 👍

*2025-01-10*

amazinggg, love the funny conversations. should make a option to change the hotel owners appearance maybee..

### 5/5 — wow

*2024-12-31*

the game is easy. it is the type of game that makes you lose track of time. the built in ai to speak to characters is amazing for rping if you are into that. i already had a couple of adventures. the only thing i don’t like is the pest control mini game. i find it difficult and it pops up too often.

### 5/5 — love!

*2024-12-20*

so underrated, funnily enough i love the graphics of the characters and game it’s giving 2000s video game and im here for it. its super cute snd funny and i love how the different characters have quirks! the social media promoter also needs a raise 😊

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2024-12-19*

I really like it! It’s super entertaining and I love the interaction between guests and the player character. To the Devs: Keep doing what you’re doing and pls keep updating! ❤️👀✨

### 5/5 — underrated for a mobile game

*2024-12-06*

This game seems so unique and I like the interactions with the characters itself. I was thinking of maybe creating more games in the all like gaining cash or interactive activities with the character. However, I begin to love it.

### 5/5 — VERY fun and good game

*2024-05-26*

its super fun! i love talking with the characters who arent even suspects and i also like defeating the monster things and the storyline and how the bots never break

### 5/5 — bro i love this game

*2024-05-15*

rodrick spud and goon are my favs rn even if i don't rly know which is which. although when i played through the new episode just now my tasks would be finished as soon as i would be like "what's up" or something. i mean, i have no problem with that, it just makes the episodes less engaging, i guess.

edit: dan scott and kyle? never heard of her.

### 5/5 — bro i love this game

*2024-03-11*

For some reason I loved this game ! Loved the aesthetic, and the story . But there’s something about it , I finished my tasks and it doesn’t let me go to the other episode . Like everyone said I think it needs a tutorial! Love this game ! Xoxo
