The game follows the rules of the board game strictly, and allows no customization. If you want to pick a specific character, well, you can't. They have a "feature request" thread up on the steam forums, that has been up for a couple of years, but... If you go through the updates since that time, you'll see that the devs have very much moved on from this game.

Another gripe is that there is no hot seat mode. This is a digital adaptation of a board game, hot seat is very necessary for a game like this, instead you must purchase the game for all of your friends.

Never passed first tutorial, always crashes somewhere in the middle. Other tutorials are locked till you pass first one because... reasons?
Developers know about the issue, works fine on their computer. I've tried it on two, it was crashing on both.

Today I tried it again and I've read an update notice. Apparently some of the crashes in multiplayer were a result of developers renting temporary servers that can be shut down any moment. As a cost-reducing measure.
So any time you play this multiplayer game your game can be interrupted without way to restore it. And then you get an achievement. Yes, you get an achievement when your game crashes because developers rented a cheap server that can be disconnected any time.
Achievement is called "Apocalypse Survivor" and 0.2% players achieved it. On unrelated note, "Elementary school" (complete tutorial) achievement has 0.2% players achieved it.
