    Each to their own, but I don’t trust a game that used to be €350 and is now free. Seems like it was either extremely overpriced to prey on unsuspecting users, or they are doing this on purpose to hit that “best offer” metric.

    Either way, scummy at best, scam at worst. Pass.

      That’s a fair assessment. I wouldn’t be surprised if Google didn’t bother enforcing the legal requirements of how long something has to be available at full price before you’re allowed to call the discount a sale.

        Yeah Google doesn’t enforce a lot of things. Try reporting an ad, lol.

        It’s fair as well to post it here though, people can make choices for themselves!

    This sounds like an AI generated text for a generic throw together 24h “roguelike”.

      Quite possible, but a lot of mobile games have pretty vapid child-friendly descriptions and I feel like that’s been the case since before those chatbots were readily available

        I mean there is not an ounce of information in the text (more than there is some kind of randomisation). Which is a shame IMO.

        What’s the uniqueness of the game? Or if it has no, what game does it mimic?

          That’s the joy* of minimal-description indies, you never know whether it’s a child’s first attempt at writing code, a labour of love made by someone who has no experience of the English language, or a cynical cash-grab churned out as cheaply as possible

          * “joy” is obviously subjective, you might also say “horror”
