Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Grinding reported on May 30, 2022
Unlocking certain characters can be tedious as finding the items to unlock them heavily relies on luck in a randomly generated world. The player must find multiple assets in a randomly generated map to unlock a single character, and if their player character dies permanently, the world resets and so does the character unlocking process.
Infinite Treadmill reported on May 30, 2022
The game is never-ending, it ends when the player's character dies.
