Up front: it has ads. There are two optional reward ads, plus one full screen ad when your character dies. Nothing to buy, and you don’t need an account

My favorite bug so far: a kid born in Congo got told The Tiger and the Dried Persimmon by their grandparent. That’s a Korean folk tale. Almost all of our culture text was written in Korean first, so for a while people born anywhere got Korean neighbors carrying barley tea kettles and Korean stews for dinner
We ended up writing culture text for each country separately. The Congo persimmon sentence is now a test case, so if it ever shows up again the build fails
