Steam reviews

What players say

Players love the outfits, visuals and cozy world, but many are put off by greedy gacha monetisation, a messy story retcon and poor optimisation and crashes.

Many players praise the outfit system, which lets them mix and style clothing in detail, along with the beautiful environments, soundtrack and relaxed exploration. Some say the game is playable for free and that story content and currency come without spending. Many reviewers, though, criticise the gacha economy: outfits are locked behind pulls, dye options are restricted to gacha copies, and limited-time banners push fear-of-missing-out. Some players are disappointed by the story retcon around version 1.5 and the repetitive event stories built around mascots. Many also report heavy hardware demands, stuttering, freezes and crashes that keep the game running after it is closed. Recent reviews are more mixed on the story's direction and show some players returning after the story was reworked, while the optimisation complaints persist.

Who it suits

Players who enjoy dress-up, fashion customisation and relaxed open-world exploration, and who can ignore or manage gacha spending.

Who should skip it

Players who dislike gacha monetisation, want a strong story or combat, or have older hardware that struggles with the game's performance.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours are more likely to complain about gacha costs, repetition and performance, while newer players mainly praise the cozy atmosphere and outfits.
