The recent gacha game 'Enigma of Sepia' is drawing criticism for its lack of originality, as it showcases characters that closely resemble popular anime figures from shows like 'Sword Art Online' and 'Neon Genesis Evangelion.' Despite its upcoming release, the game has minimal gameplay shown, raising doubts about its creative value. This debut title by Unicorn Whale Technology Limited prompts questions about the future of creativity in gaming, especially with its character designs that sexualize well-known male figures into female counterparts, adding to the controversy over its authenticity and innovation.
Is creativity dead? Well, no, there's so much good stuff coming out these days I'm struggling to keep up, but if I were to only look at Enigma of Sepia, I'd certainly think it was.
In that character trailer alone you can see a ripoff of what I think is meant to be Kirito from Sword Art Online, Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist.
