First things first, if you expect MonteCrypto to be a normal game, leave it be, it probably won't be for you. MonteCrypto is best to be considered a bit of a meta game. Something that is meant to be played outside of the usual constraints of a game.
Clues can be found on Github, parts on Twitter. Clues and solutions are in the game files which you have to extract or take apart by other means. Sometimes you literally have to break the game and it is meant to be played that way.

If you look for something with a guided story, something that is focused on logic puzzles, something you can play alone on an otherwise boring evening and also looks visually appealing: THIS is not what you want to play. Try the Witness maybe, a great game I'd totally recommend.

MonteCrypto is more of a purpose bound experiment with a 10k bounty on a first come first serve basis. It's best played in a group of like-minded people (check Game Detectives if you look for one). There is some kind of story frame around the whole experience but you have to explore to find all the little bits and pieces. In the end it will come down to one person getting the bitcoin. Most people will leave at that point, some will stay and try to figure out the story. Others will try on their own for the challenge.

Is it worth the ~1-2 USD? Idk. If some of the above sounded appealing, then it will very likely be. Otherwise, there are plenty of good puzzlers out there.

Regarding the people calling it a scam, I doubt it. It's certainly not mining bitcoin in the background as many of the scam shoutouts suggest. There is no network traffic that would match a mining client and without constant network communication, you can't be mining.

One tip to those of you still trying to run the maze legitimately... The game expects you to cheat, so don't feel bad for it.
