Review summary

Fans praise Grift for its fun, casual gameplay, strong visuals, and engaging story progression. The catfishing/voyeuristic premise also resonates with many players.

Overall, the game stands out for style and concept, but some players are turned off by dialogue issues and the morally fraught gameplay.

2024-09-25	Bo*****	Maybe I just don’t get it, but the whole thing makes no sense to me. The conversations don’t make sense, there is no point in scamming the bots or whoever. It’s time consuming and as I said pointless. But I am an old lady so maybe I’m just not understanding the whole thing!

2024-02-09	kb*****	If you’ve watched Catfish, this game is for you. You see how catfishing can be so easy with this game, which lets you experience it firsthand with no actual feelings involved. It’s a weirdly addictive, voyeuristic look at online emotional scammers.

2024-02-09	ri*****	Super boring and repetitive gameplay, weak storyline, chats that spew ridiculous nonsense, and worst of all- you can’t complete the game. At least, not without paying I assume. I’ve been trying for almost two weeks to beat this game, but the end boss never accepts the request. I’ve tried remaking the bot and letting the game sit closed for days at a time. I can only assume you have to buy the premium accessories. I’m definitely not wasting any of my money on this garbage. It’s funny that a game centered around scamming the characters is a scam itself.

2024-01-25	Us*****	A fun sim where you play around with grifting as much money as possible from your targets. I found it interesting to recreate new bots to scam the same person once I learned what they liked. It’s a pretty casual game to mess around with.
