This is a very cool, fresh concept. I love the animation and the art style. I do however, have some critiques of the game. I wish for the pronouns, you could choose them more deliberately rather than writing them out, and so that when things about the character get written by the game it doesn't constantly say he/him, she/her, or they/them in pink everytime they do an action or an action occurs to them. The gacha system is quite slow, with lots of time needing to be put in for at least a standard 1 pull. There isn't too much to do, which I can understand as this game released very recently, but I still wish there was more to it than just adventures and playgrounds. The AI...well, what can I say. I'm not its biggest hater, and this is much better than the bigwig AI's that drain water and electricity from vulnerable locations and harm people across the world. This is all excusable, I think, and will be blurred out as more time passes since the game's launch. Not ever start is perfect. BUT...one thing I do really want, is multiple oc's. Add that, and I assure you, you will BOOM. And please let them interact with each other. This game would thrive even more.

Great, but needs fixing

I started playing recently, and honestly the game is so fun. The gacha being for clothes is also a really smart and unique idea. The game looks great and the ai responses are pretty solid. I’m not a big fan of AI, but it also doesn’t seem to do much harm either, besides the water pollution associated with it. I don’t mind the AI overall.However, I encountered a bug where scenes just won’t load, and it’s so bad that I can’t even get past the start menu. I restarted my internet and deleted and redownloaded the app but it still won’t load. This bug is the main reason I’m writing this review. Like I said, great game overall but for right now I can’t even play it.

Great game! Though a few questions.

It already had an good impression when I saw the art style, it felt very cute and fun. When I started I didn’t know what to create, there is a lot of customization options but if you’re looking to make a specific character.. Well. No. Weirdly enough they have Miku’s fit and Teto’s hair drills but no outfit for Teto. They don’t have anything for Neru either. I made my character Liar Liar Teto because it was the most accurate one I can make. Tried execution clap Teto, no red suits. Some clothes and items are able to be colored, but some things that should be colored aren’t weirdly.ONE MAIN QUESTION I HAVE IS! Can I make more than one character? Yes, I know I’m asking for a lot. But at least 2-3, and maybe you can increase it past 3 if you get some membership or gamepass. Dunno. Because I want to use multiple characters with distinct personalities, and I don’t want to shift characters constantly and remake personalities. Tell me if this already existed and I’m just inexperienced because I’ve bolted played this for one day.

Cool idea but needs so much work

I’m honestly looking forward to video games incorporating AI for more personalised dialogue and even quests. That being said I think this game is very much lacking. It is very boring and the main feature is just send your character away for 30 minutes to an hour at a time for rewards that don’t have much impact and then you get a little story at the end. I think instead of that, or maybe put that off as a side feature, have maybe a 2D open world the player can actually have fun with, same to be said with the playground feature. Now I also think the gacha system needs to be better. I love when gacha systems are paired with character customisation, it’s very fun. BUT! It is genuinely so hard to get the materials needed for the gacha. You can only get it from the store for a high price. The devs need to make them way easier to get. Like it’d hardly worth trying. I think the art style and such is really cute it just needs a lot more to do in the game and it needs to be a lot more rewarding. My account is named Scotty
