I respect that they got really crazy with the art style and character design, but I honestly hate it.
The devs are trannies. Their "art" is aggressively androgynous, queer-coded, and littered with BDSM fetish aesthetics. They thought they were being clever and circumventing the anti-woke backlash, but their art is still offputting and ugly. That's why no one is buying skins, and subsequently the entire revenue model for the game is fucked.
Bottomline: they are still refusing to create beauty. And no, that doesn't mean sexy.
Not saying you're wrong about that, but besides all that woke stuff the art is also very weird. It's like some kind of fever dream.
It's mostly ripped from 1990s Designers Republic stuff. Which can definitely work if you're wrapping it around a solid foundation.
