While the game excels in visual appeal and character design, the reviews do not provide specific insights into the depth or progression of character development. Overall, the focus seems to be more on aesthetics rather than the evolution of characters throughout the game.
“This game also wins my heart for its visuals; I really like the character design and the environment in general.”
