The designs of each character are both repetitive and unsettling - players will often find a villager who looks exactly as another one does save the simple addition of something like a mustache, and the designs themselves often come off as more creepy than cute.

From there, players will wake up in the town of Hokko after oversleeping on the train and decide to start a life there, staying at the inn until they can collect enough materials to repair one of the abandoned houses in town.

Hokko Life begins with a small handful of character customization options - players can choose their hairstyle and adjust things like eye color and skin tone, but unfortunately can't make any changes otherwise when it comes to their face.
