Secret Neighbor: Hello Neighbor Multiplayer

I ain't even know what happening. Bought a copy for me, my brother, and a friend and we can't even start a game. Not sure what really happening other than some random player joined, forcibly started it then we got stuck on a network error, being forced to close the game to escape the screen. Gave a really bad first impression for me after a few years and my friend haven't even touched the game yet. We though the game was no longer supported. I remember playing this on my Ipad and it was all good back then, I ain't even know what's up with it now. Don't wanna sound rude with the next sentence, but my brother and friend had me refund all 3 copies after that...
