Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this dress-up game for its deep character creator and huge outfit variety, though gacha pulls, grinding and file size draw frequent complaints.

Many players praise the character creator, which lets them reshape faces and bodies at any time, and the large, detailed wardrobe with dye options and free outfits from story and events. Some like the housing feature and the mix of dress-up with a light story and minigames. Complaints centre on the gacha system, where some players feel the banners and high-rarity sets push them toward spending, and on daily grinding, locked energy and long waits in hard-mode fashion collecting. Many reviewers also report a very large download, sometimes tens of gigabytes, and PC problems such as slow loading, stuck assets and a UI that feels poorly translated. A few mention account and purchase issues. Steam's totals are strongly positive, and the reviews read here are positive too.

Praised

  • Detailed character creator

    Players can reshape faces and body types and change their character at any time without cost, which many find a standout feature.

    Many players
  • Large, detailed wardrobe

    Outfits, colours and dye options are praised as beautiful and varied, with many styles and plenty of free pieces from story and events.

    Many players
  • Generous free content

    Players say they can progress and collect good outfits without paying, through dailies, events and free currency.

    Some players
  • Housing and extras

    The home-building feature, pets, cooking and minigames add a Sims-like layer that players enjoy beyond dress-up.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Gacha pressure and rare outfits

    Players say banners and high-rarity sets are hard to get and push them toward paid pulls, though many note free options exist.

    Many players
  • Grinding and time locks

    Daily grind, locked energy and multi-day waits for hard-mode items or story progress are repeatedly described as tiring.

    Many players
  • Heavy download and PC performance

    Players report very large downloads, loading delays for outfits and poses, stuck assets, and a PC version that feels less polished than mobile.

    Many players
  • Confusing interface and story

    The menus, many currencies and a translation that feels rough make the game hard to learn, and some find the story shallow or long-winded.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy dress-up, fashion design and character customisation, and who are happy with gacha-style progression, will likely get the most out of it.
Who should skip it
Players who dislike gacha systems, daily grinds or large downloads, or who want a dress-up game without a story or energy limits, should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours mostly focus on gacha pressure and grinding, while newer players more often praise the customisation and free outfits.
