Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Artificial Scarcity reported on May 25, 2022
Lots of in-game events with timers can be very frustrating but also can be ignored in favor of playing the game as normal
Wait To Play reported on May 25, 2022
Losing lives means waiting on a timer for those lives to replenish. Some tasks also have timers that are several hours long, although these are rare and you can continue playing levels, you just have to wait to progress the story
Pay to Skip reported on May 25, 2022
You can exchange real money for coins or lives, but you really don’t need to do so to win. The coins are only used for things like extra moves or buying extra appearances for furniture items in case you change your mind (the initial choice is always free)
