What this game has, and who said so
- In-game purchasesDeclared
The publisher flagged “In-App Purchases” in Steam's own store categories.
- In-game purchasesEstimated
Estimated: the game is listed free-to-play, so it earns its money somewhere. Not a disclosure of how.
- Daily login rewardsEstimated
Estimated: wording in the publisher's store description suggests daily login rewards. Nobody has confirmed it.
Not shown
Nothing in the store listing named these, and nobody has checked by hand. Sifter has not been shown them — which is not the same as showing they are absent.
AI Generated Content Disclosure
Declared by the publisherThe developers describe how their game uses AI generated content like this:
游戏的部分美术资源使用了生成式人工智能
Required on Steam store pages since 2024. It covers content that ships in the game, on its store page or in its marketing — Valve does not require a disclosure for AI tools used during development, so this says nothing either way about how the game was made. Check it on Steam.
How the facts are weighted
Estimated- Daily Login Bonus+5
Rewards are granted for logging in each day.
Why this counts
Daily login systems apply operant conditioning (fixed-interval reinforcement) to create habitual game opening behavior. They are designed to disrupt the natural decision of whether to play and replace it with obligation.
- Operant conditioning / fixed-interval reinforcement (Skinner, behavioural psychology)
- Habit-formation research on daily-reward streak mechanics
- Microtransactions+2
In-game purchases sells cosmetic items only — no gameplay advantage.
Points reflect severity, not just presence — cosmetic-only purchases score far lower than pay-for-power. The weights, and the regulator actions and studies behind each one, are published on the provenance page.

Not enough reviews yet
This game doesn’t have enough Steam reviews yet to measure genuine enjoyment. The Design Risk score above is based on its mechanics and stands on its own. Check back once more players have reviewed it.
What this adds up to
Light
2 established mechanics, each with a named source.
If you play
- Set a monthly cosmetics budget
- Ignore FOMO event pressure
- Focus on what you genuinely enjoy
What your 2hours won’t show you
Steam’s refund window is 2 hours of playtime within 14 days. Steam's clock runs from launch to exit — menus, loading screens and time minimised all count against it. This is disclosed for this game and arrives on a longer schedule than that:
- Daily login bonus — by definition it needs more than one day to notice
Read from the store listing rather than hand-verified, so treat it as an estimate. Sifter can’t tell you whether you’ll enjoy this — only what has been disclosed about how it makes money. Steam’s refund policy →

Ownership
This game is yours to keep
- Plays offline — no server dependency, so it can't be switched off remotely.
- Installing the Steam release takes a Steam account. Steam doesn't publish whether this title is otherwise DRM-free, so we can't confirm it runs standalone.
This describes the Steam release only — editions of the same game sold on other stores come with those stores' own terms.
