Character development is characterized by unique and quirky designs that prioritize cuteness but often veer into the bizarre, with each character sporting distinct and unconventional school uniforms and hairstyles. This eclectic approach to character aesthetics may appeal to some players while leaving others puzzled by the oddities.
“Character design is cute but mostly leans toward odd; everyone has a different school uniform for some reason and hairstyles are strange. One girl has what looks to be a bag on her head with a gigantic safety pin, one has her hair cut at five different lengths, and another tied her hair together in front that resembles a beard, to name just a few.”
