The game received "mixed" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[4]
gollark: But you can't do that unless you know that there's annoyingly loud music coming from inside it.
gollark: I think *a* way to handle that issue would be to say that you only have an expectation of privacy for information you're actually taking reasonable steps to prevent exit of.
