Questionable Main Menu

When I opened it up all I saw was mod. Then, I clicked on it. After that, I saw a help button. So I clicked on that too. After clicking a few more times, it just asks us to buy something. I couldn’t tell because it was so big. If you plan to download this for free, just don’t.
