Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Infinite Treadmill reported on Sep 12, 2022
It doesn't have an end because it's based on a board game. Like a board game, you take it out, play it, and then put it away until you want to play it again.
Premium Currency reported on Sep 12, 2022
Money for gems.
Artificial Scarcity reported on Sep 12, 2022
Monthly calendars, special outfit/emoji/background offers, etc.
Can't Pause or Save reported on Sep 12, 2022
Only because it's a party game with other people in real time that requires communication and active participation, just like if the game was played in person.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Sep 12, 2022
Not money, but you can watch an ad or use Roses to spin a wheel for rewards.
Reciprocity reported on Sep 12, 2022
"Rose for a rose" is the general rule when giving out roses. In fact, you can be penalized if you say "Rose for a rose", receive roses, and then not give any back. Furthermore, the only way to make a rose usable is to send it to someone else.
Encourages Anti-Social Behavior reported on Sep 12, 2022
It's part of the game for certain roles. If you are a werewolf or a killer, you need to keep your identity hidden in order to stay in the game.
Badges / Endowed Progress reported on Sep 12, 2022
You earn achievements based on how many times you have won with a particular role.
Competition reported on Sep 12, 2022
It's the point of the game. The villager and werewolf teams are both trying to win.
Can't Pause or Save reported on Jul 16, 2022
It's a multiplayer game- this is inherent to it. Leaving games is rude to other players.
