What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players report critical game-breaking bugs that occur within the first 10-15 minutes, particularly in early story progression where the game becomes unclickable and unplayable, preventing access to necessary inventory items or story choices. Beyond technical issues, some players criticize the game for using undisclosed AI-generated assets, stale gameplay, and a weak story, though the Louisiana setting provides some appeal. The developer's high output of games in a short timeframe has raised quality concerns.

The game has a bug in the very first room, and it becomes unplayable like after 10 minutes from the start

Unfortunately, once you get into the first room after the first HOP, after the NPC suggests looking at a story in the library, it comes up with a locked room icon and nothing is clickable to proceed forward in the story. The guide says that you should be choosing the first of two options to proceed, but there are no options to choose.

this game has a glitch in it were it will not let you make the right option which means you cant retrieve an important piece of inventory so you cannot proceed in the game. Even though its faulty steam does not refund you your money or give you a credit.

Undisclosed AI Assets galore. I had my suspicions from the level previews on the Steam page, but wanted to give it a shot since I really love playing games that take place in Louisiana. I got about 45 minutes in when I couldn't take it anymore. Benefit of the doubt completely gone. I guess it makes sense with the amount of games Do Games Limited has churned out in such a short span of time... 102 games since 2021 is A LOT. Also, the story sucked and gameplay was stale. Even if it was entirely made by humans (which it's not!) it would only have the New Orleans Mardi Gras vibes to save it. Not worth the $1.50 a paid, so I got a refund.
