It is fun to build up a run that becomes murder incarnate.

It's oddly satisfying when you get your build to the point where you don't have to move or even do anything but watch things try and fail to approach your character.

It's both. It was created by the same guy who was a programmer for slot machines. He used the same colors, sounds, and animations they use for those slot machines. He purposedly made the game addicting...and it worked. I'm playing it right now lol.
DI MOLTO!

I think the important difference is that he didn't go and aggressively monetize the game such that the only way to feed your addiction was with real money purchases. It's okay to have an addicting gameplay loop, but only when the gameplay loop is self rewarding.

It's really fucking good.

It's also since been outdone by, of all things, a Hololive fangame that is free.

Yeah, it's a pretty cheap game too, so I don't think it's a bad thing he made it addicting either. It's such a great game to relax to while playing.

Trust me, I would be the first person to call out if I see any predatory practices. If he started having microtransactions in the game would be the first sign I spot. As it stands, the gameplay loop is in of itself the reward. You only pay 3 bucks.
DI MOLTO!

I can see the appeal but literally only being able to walk around isn't doing it for me
If you read this signature, then that meant that I had control of what you read for 5 SECONDS!!
