Explain the game to me

[Outsider]

I watched reviews, saw the playthroughs, and still don't understand what exactly do you do in this game.
Is it like Ace Attorney but in 3D where you basically solve puzzles and read dialogue and that's it but also run around between cut-scenes?

It's an open-world game. You explore it while using Ability Outfits which will let you do things like momentarily float, shrink to fit into tight spaces, play music to soothe NPCs, or allow you to snatch bugs, groom animals or fish. (This is how you collect different crafting materials.)

While traversing the world you'll be looking for collectibles that let you unlock parts of a skill tree, or craft different attack patterns, or more commonly craft new clothes. (Which outside of the aforementioned Ability Outfits are mostly cosmetic.) Along the way you'll find enemies that you can fight using a very simple combat system, various platforming challenges, mini-games and puzzles.

There's a pretty lengthy main quest and tons of side quests, though most of them are pretty short and to the point. Eventually you'll unlock Styling Challenges, where you're given a theme and create an outfit that matches categories and sub-categories, receiving a score that relies on the stats on each individual piece of your outfit.

If any of this sounds like it would be up your alley, I think you can play it for about an hour and have a pretty good idea if it's the game for you. It's mostly a casual, cozy experience, with charming characters and an overall lighthearted story... though it can get a little dark at times.

Thanks, I might give it a try when it's out.

My Steam store says it is similar to a game I have, Dark Souls III. I think I am going to enjoy this.

My one says similar to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and DS3.

Honestly that sounds fire if that was a real game

Oh wait it's a service game? Damn, I thought it's offline open world game like Wukong but girly and not combat-oriented.

The gacha is strictly cosmetic, like Fortnite's cosmetics, imo. Yes, dress up duels are a thing that premium outfits can make easier than they already are, but they're not required. Anything that needs to be done can be easily done with free outfits. Anyone who calls it "pay 2 win" is an idiot, especially given the near non-existent difficulty of this game. That said, the cosmetics are stunning and sell themselves, and some come with cute (but otherwise useless) abilities such as having dogs follow you. They do absolutely nothing, but if you ever wanted dogs to march and follow you, there's something in the gacha for it.

The best way to describe it is essentially if Barbie and Breath of the Wild had a baby.

The best I can describe it for you is a really good plaformer and collect a ton game. Its like an open world Donkey Kong 64 if that make sense. Also with a dash of Breath of the Wild (one of BotW dev work on this game, and it show)

That's probably because of this. Its a quiz about if an item description came from Dark Souls or Love Nikki. Actually really hard lol

The only game that gives me the same vibe as Animal crossing, I come home from work and it instantly relaxes me!

It's a service game but definitely not p2w, they're (so far) super generous with the currency and the gacha is a little different than other games (no 50-50).
