Here are my impressions from the first 5 minutes of playing.

1. The sign-up process was confusing.

I didn't see a clear notice that email verification was required, so I wasn't sure whether my registration had gone through. A confirmation page after signing up, explaining that I needed to check my email, would help.

After verifying my email, I was sent back to the sign-up page. Redirecting to the login page would make more sense.

2. After logging in, I wasn't sure what to do.

Without an initial tutorial, it was hard to know where to start. A short walkthrough covering character setup and finding a job would help new players get settled.

3. It felt more like a simulator than a game.

The amount of text compared with images made it look complicated at first. I selected a two-minute job, and I wondered whether a looping animation during that time might make the wait feel more engaging.

Thank you, this is exactly the kind of first-impression feedback I need.

The email verification flow definitely needs to be clearer, and redirecting back to Sign Up after verification is something I’ll fix.

I’m also already working on the onboarding problem. The goal is to guide a new player through the first character and first job without overwhelming them.

I really like the animation idea too. I don’t want to remove all waiting because time is an important part of the economy, but I absolutely need to make that waiting feel more like part of a game and less like staring at a timer.

Thanks — feedback from the first 5 minutes is especially valuable right now.

DONE !!
