I joined the discord to be able to have a more constructive conversation regarding the main issue with the game (the lack of a hook & the immediate telling the player to to go away for an hour due to nothing to do). I think there's been some miscommunication in the review section, partially due to the dev being disappointed that game not landing how they wanted and partially due to some comments being a little less than fair (i.e. calling the game not a game, which is a bit disingenuous to the dev's effort & kind of insensitive).

After leaving my feedback on the discord, the dev agreed that the main issue is there really is just nothing to do at the beginning of the game and acknowledges if they ran into a game like that they might have quit immediately as well. While this game itself won't receive an update to fix that issue (Which imo is fine, it is a finished game and the dev is happy with the product) if they make another game it would definitely be more engaging to start with.

The game itself has a pretty interesting gameplay loop concept imo, it's just a shame it starts out with such a long wait time to actually do anything. The game does infact get significantly more active as you progress but it takes a lot of time to get to that point, if you're not willing to invest time to get to that point then I cannot recommend this game to you, I'd go check out other games.
