✦ AI summary

OLDTV is a simple, addictive game with good vibes that players find enjoyable and engaging, featuring appealing elements like a cute shiba character. However, some players have raised concerns about the developers' conduct and social media behavior, which has negatively impacted their view of the game despite its gameplay quality. Players who can separate the game from such concerns generally recommend it for those seeking a casual, relaxing experience.

I had not played this in a while and decided to revisit it. Unfortunately I read in the comments the developers of this game are racist. I investigated and can confirm they are indeed BASED.
