Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Playing by Appointment reported on Nov 30, 2022
with the recent (november 2022) update, there is much more emphasis on needing to complete designs all at once because you no longer get currency after finishing them (making it very difficult to design new rooms) and you just have to wait 6 hours to get currency when voting is done for those designs
