All of the "orders" include items that I don’t have a generator for. I don’t have the wine cabinet. How do I get that? This is one of my favorite games, I’m at level 48. What now?? ### 4/5 — Enjoyable game and story, but missing a generator *2026-08-25, version 3.1* I love the story line within the game, and the graphics are really well done. The issue I am currently having is almost every order that is waiting is looking for something that would come from the wine cabinet that I have DO NOT have, and no direction on how to/when I will get it. So all the orders are sitting half done, no way to dismiss an order to get something that doesn’t require the wine cabinet. I have tried everything I could think of to see if it generates from something else with no luck. ### 3/5 — Not bad, except…… *2026-08-25, version 3.1* I’ve played this game a few weeks now, I like the storyline. The only reason why I gave it three stars is because, each time you go to a new chapter even if you’re going somewhere they make you do everything all over again like your makeup and cleaning her face which cost so much money. It’s not feasible or more on the story side it seems to be more on they want more money side. If they made it more realistic, we’re not having to redo your outfit or make up even if you just did it for the prior chapter before they make you do it again it’s ridiculous. ### 3/5 — Any new updates coming? *2026-06-30, version 3.0* I have been enjoining the game but any more story updates coming? Photo album isn’t really do it for me for the last 3 weeks since mid-June 2026. ### 2/5 — 만족도 낮음 *2026-06-02* 머지보드의 그림들이 눈에 잘 안 들어오고 눈이 많이 피곤해요. 아이템을 만들기 위해 들이는 수고에 비해 성취감이 적어서 게임이 지루하게 느껴집니다. 아이템 하나 만드는데 에너지 소비도 너무 빨라서 지겨워요. ### 3/5 — Bloquée *2026-05-27* J’aime bien ce jeu même si je trouve que les récompenses sont trop faibles. Mais là je suis bloquée car j’ai des commandes de vins et de cocktails mais je n’ai pas réussi à avoir l’armoire à vin. Donc je ne peux plus les honorer donc pas possible d’avoir de l’argent. C’est la première fois dans un jeu Merge je rencontre ce problème. Est ce dû à un bug ?? ### 3/5 — I want to love this game *2026-05-08, version 2.3* For the most part I enjoy this game but it is quite glitchy and I’ve reached out to customer support twice to ask how to get rid of this useless Gashapon machine that can’t be deleted, can’t be stored, doesn’t produce anything and is taking up a space on my board and has been since the beginning of the game. Zero response and not sure if the update fixed the glitch where none of your completed daily goals count toward your daily game-pass progress for hours after they reset at midnight. Also get tired of having to go through 5-6 outfit changes just to get to the story, there’s a lot of repetition in the side-story. ### 2/5 — Customer support *2026-04-13, version 2.1* I’m not sure there’s any customer support here. I’ve been enjoying the game, but I have about 20 accelerators that I can’t do anything with. I don’t know where you get the generator to make them work. I’ve tried to contact customer support three different times and all I get is silence. I’m running out of storage and when I do, I’m going to have to quit the game because I won’t have any choice. I won’t have any room left for anything. Why pretend to have customer service when there isn’t any? ### 2/5 — Too many ads! *2026-04-09, version 2.1* Great game, story and graphics but I don’t play as often because there are Too Many Ads! Please offer a no ads option! ### 2/5 — Great until glitch *2026-03-25, version 2.0* This game was amazing. It’s fun and f2p friendly. But I ran into an odd glitch where I tapped a bubble to pay high gems (130) and instead of giving me the item, it took 160 ad watching earned gems and did not give the item. It’s been two full business days and haven’t heard back from the help team. So proceed with caution, especially if you plan to spend money. ### 4/5 — Good game to pass the time *2026-03-22* I do enjoy this game but some tasks are stupid. lol I mean, seriously, how many times can a girl trim her eyebrows in one day? I’m a tasks are getting more expensive as we progress. I don’t appreciate that part. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy and storyline moves way too slow *2026-08-18, version 3.1* This game glitches a lot and can really lag when you touch or try to merge items. Ads also lag or freeze, which is really annoying and turns a 30 second ad into a 3-5 minute ad. My biggest 2 complaints are the number of generators…I’m on level 56 and there are 13 generators that have multiple items they produce and it totally fills up the board. I have over 30 storage spaces, and still have to keep deleting items off my board. Second complaint…having us use thousands of coins to have a clothing change that includes makeup, jewelry and shoes when she’s going to bed. REALLY????? I’m done with this game, which is too bad because I was enjoying the story. ### 1/5 — Language *2026-08-06, version 3.1* To much cussing other wise it would have been a wonderful game ### 1/5 — Hängt bei den Werbungen *2026-06-17* Sah super aus allerdings sobald man sich ein Produkt per Video erwerben möchte hängt die Werbung. Sehr schade Sah vielversprechend aus. Beheben sie bitte das Problem dann lade ich es mir vielleicht doch wieder runter. ### 1/5 — Maga game *2026-06-15, version 2.9* I was playing this game everyday for a little over a month and got pretty far in the game! Liked the stories and dress up aspect but unfortunately can only give it a bad review because during one of the dress up parts wanted me to pick a hat and included in the spread of hats was a maga hat. Very disappointing to see that in a game that I had originally liked. Yuck ### 1/5 — Adverts every few minutes *2026-06-07* This was quite a good game but it’s now adverts every 30 seconds or do making it impossible to play unless you pay money. Quite a con really ### 1/5 — Nothing left to merge *2026-05-19, version 2.5* I made it to the gala now to make money I need musical items. Music notes cassette tape etc yet I have never gotten the music note to begin making them. I literally have nothing I can make. I reached out to support no reply. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-03-14, version 2.0* Played for a couple hours, then opened app and it had reset my progress. But not entirely, it locked up with part reset and part still at a later level, so nothing could be completed. The lesson; don’t let ChatGPT program your game. Also the AI art is both generic and creepy with how big it makes the heads. The guys especially look weird AF. This whole game is a poster child for how not to use AI. I really gotta stop downloading these things. ### 1/5 — Quit working *2025-10-03, version 1.2* Game was great until it quit working ### 1/5 — Newest version *2025-09-29, version 1.2* Game is stuck loading after update, cannot proceed; please fix or contact me ### 2/5 — No way to skip or turn off assist *2026-08-31, version 3.1* I wish there were 2 features, with them it would be better: 1. A way to skip the really long dialogues. 2. A way to turn off the annoying pointer finger assist thing. It feels like it’s babying the player. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2026-07-31, version 3.1* The game is easy and fun to play. The only ads you watch are ones you choose to. Nothing but positives here. ### 5/5 — はじめたばかりだけど *2026-07-20* レビューが少なかったのでレビューします。 他のマージ系と遜色なく普通に面白い。 強いて言うなら稀に日本語訳されてなくて英語のセリフが入っちゃってることかな。 でもストーリーはちゃんと分かるし問題ないレベル。 私の場合ストーリー重視なのでストーリーが良ければおkです。 このまま遊んでみます！ ### 5/5 — At the beginning -One of the best games I’ve recently played *2026-07-03, version 3.0* A lot of fun, until a week into the game, a misspelled phone call comes from “Adrain” and the game freezes and crashes. The graphics are AWESOME. The backdrops later in the story are crisp and well thought out. The storyline, reminiscent of 50 shades, is understandable. I recently tried to play a similar game and the dialogue for that game read like it was written by a non-English speaking 5 year old then sent through a discount translation program. This game is fun :) ### 5/5 — One of the best games I’ve recently played *2026-06-27, version 3.0* The graphics are AWESOME. The backdrops later in the story are crisp and well thought out.
