2. 🗺️ Beautiful and Fun Open-World Map

3. ✍️ Light but Disappointing Story and Characters
· The story unfolds casually from the beginning without being boring. Investigating and solving anomalies can be enjoyed lightly, like watching YouTube Shorts.
· However, the unlikeable actions, voice, and visuals of the character 'Takido' detract from the game experience, especially since they frequently appear in the main story, causing discomfort.
· There are also opinions that sub-stories without Takido are more enjoyable.
· The driving system is a bit difficult at first, but as your specs improve and you tune your vehicle, it becomes as casual as KartRider.

4. ✨ Charming Nanari Skills and Unique BM
· Nanari's wall-climbing skill is useful for exploration but has a severe drawback of causing motion sickness. It's fine if you don't use the skill.
· The city tycoon system is simple yet well-made, with features like rent and cafe income, leaving nothing to criticize.
· While some might say the character models lack edge compared to modern games, they are generally decent and not outright bad.
· The BM (Business Model) is unique and fun, with high probabilities and turning gacha itself into content. The mere possibility of getting an S-rank item stimulates dopamine.
· The BM is decent for version 1.0, but we need to see how the currency distribution changes with future updates. The probability is high even without a pickup system.
