Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
At this time there are no hobbies for our Denizens (arts, hacking, writing, gaming, etc) so you're pretty much just running around just earning money, spending money and earning more money.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
And do yourself a favor and make a list or something when you go for groceries, nobody helping you pick what you need and it's not worth the GAS MONEY to run back for a couple things, meanwhile every other ingredient is just taking up inventory space in your fridge.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
The optimization should be re-done.

Multiplayer

I feel like this game should be multiplayer, it would make alot more sense.
