### 3/5 — Dotted Line around mouth

*2025-07-29, version 1.7.1*

I love the aesthetic of this game but one thing that really irks me is when Julie makes her pouting face in the story scenes, you can see a dotted line around her mouth outlining the polygon they used for her mouth. If I have to see that every so often when I progress through the game I’m probably not sticking around. Good game overall and would love to change my review if it gets fixed.

### 1/5 — Banned me out of nowhere?!

*2025-03-03, version 1.6.8*

I have been playing this game for months and loved it and all of a sudden when I try to log in it tells me I violated a rule and have been banned?? So confused! Not sure how it is even possible to violate a rule in this game?

### 1/5 — Got banned for trying to play

*2025-03-02, version 1.6.8*

After months of playing, I opened the game to be immediately banned.

### 1/5 — Issues all over

*2025-02-07, version 1.6.7*

There are bugs all over and in the mini games. Beware of purchasing anything in app as it's impossible to contact support and you will get scammed. 

I contacted support through the link that THEY PROVIDED and I was told "you contacted the wrong place" and that was it.

*2024-12-17, version 1.6.3*

I loved this game so much and it suddenly stopped working and says poor connection (which is not true) and then shuts down. What is going on??

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-12-14, version 1.6.3*

I have been using this game for a while, but it suddenly stopped working a few days ago and still isn’t…Will it be getting fixed soon?

### 1/5 — Scammed

*2024-12-12*

I bought a booster pack for 20$ for the seasonal game and it was charged to my account. I never received the credits for it in the game. I wonder how often this happens when things are purchased.

### 1/5 — Tokens

*2024-11-16, version 1.6.3*

Purchased tokens and there’s no option to use them anywhere

### 5/5 — Confused

*2024-10-05, version 1.6.0*
