The game is free right now so you can install it via Aurora Store, however for me it is stuck loading and won't start

From my tests around with DRM, Kairosoft's titles seem heavily baked with such. So if you don't have whatever validation method they expect (likely Google Play Services?), it won't start.

If you go to the About page and scroll down to app permissions , the link shows a line saying it requires a Google play licence check.

DRM on Google is rather inconsistent. Previously even found games that allegedly required Google Play Services but that would open just fine on a vanilla phone without MicroG and on airplane mode.

Great game.

Nooo it doesn't work in Italy

Edit: tried on the web page and it worked, weird

It's not giving the usual "normally costs X" message on the install page, sure this isn't a forever freebie?

Oh weird, must just not be showing up for me

Maybe you got it for free before? I also didn't see a price and I am not 100% sure but might have collected it some time ago when it was free.
