  - Game completion: N/A
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: 5.0h
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The session-length evidence is direct: one reviewer describes losing about two hours in a sitting, and two translated reviews report five-hour one-sitting sessions; another says they played 4+ hours. This supports a practical sessionLength around 5 hours, with shorter 2-hour sessions also possible. No review states a total completion time, story completion time, or a concrete endgame duration; the badge-grind comment only says 'might take hours,' so gameCompletion, storyCompletion, and endgame are left null. The 431-hour character-selection line is treated as a joke/unreliable and not used.

Common complaints:
- Persistent bugs and crashes (weight 0.61): Numerous reports describe severe bugs that make the game unplayable, including black screens, frozen cameras, missing textures, and blocked progression. These issues occur frequently across different game areas and can force players to close the game via Task Manager.
- Lack of content and emptiness (weight 0.53): The game feels small in scope, empty, and lacking activities during the day while waiting for tenants. Side missions are not fun, and there is little to do currently, leading to boredom.
- Slow early progression (weight 0.41): Money is earned very slowly, time forwarding is too slow at the start, and early game badge progress is heavily blocked. Progression is unbalanced, making the early game drag.
- Progression locked behind grinding (weight 0.34): Quests are locked behind a map expansion that requires badges needing huge amounts of money or grinding. Daily income from the pizza shop is hard to reach 3000, and shop items unlock too early but are not useful due to low income.
- Inconsistent and dated furniture art (weight 0.34): Furniture art style is random and inconsistent, with most items looking dated. The art style does not match the game's look and vibe, and there is a small amount of nice-looking furniture.
- Undisclosed AI art usage (weight 0.33): Developers admitted to using AI art but did not disclose it beforehand, making reviewers feel deceived. The AI art is extremely obvious and appears in large amounts, which some consider shady.
- Limited customization options (weight 0.33): There are few furniture types, few upgrades, and items cannot be recolored. Wall, floor, and character customization also have room for improvement.
- Unpolished and raw feel (weight 0.31): The game feels raw and not fun in its current state, with room for improvement. It has lower precision than The Tenants.
- Placement and control frustrations (weight 0.27): Controls for taking and rotating items are problematic, causing items to fly out of hand. Grid alignment is broken, leading to gaps between adjacent objects, and wall-mounted items can get stuck on invisible walls.
- Tutorial blockers (weight 0.26): Players get stuck at the pizza shop tutorial because the close shop button cannot be clicked, and restarting does not fix it. Similarly, some cannot proceed past the newbie tutorial to enter the next house.
- Poor furniture sorting (weight 0.25): Furniture sorting makes little sense, such as a toothbrush being in the decoration tab instead of the bathroom tab. Kitchen decorations cannot be used in the kitchen, and there is little decoration available for the pizza place.
- Save and room reset issues (weight 0.2): Players report that demo saves cannot be continued and that furnished rooms reset to empty after leaving the property, requiring everything to be repurchased. This causes significant loss of progress and frustration.
- Graphics settings ineffective (weight 0.1): Lowering graphics settings to minimum makes absolutely no difference, indicating poor optimization or non-functional settings.
- Boring tutorial (weight 0.1): The tutorial is considered boring by some players, which may contribute to early drop-off.
- Missing Chinese font characters (weight 0.1): Simplified Chinese font is missing characters, such as '薄' in '薄荷'. This affects readability for Chinese players.
- Translation errors (weight 0.1): Machine translation errors occur, such as 'cream' being translated as '奶油' in furniture decoration. This suggests localization quality issues.
