## Creative Direction

- This is a romance dating game for adult players.
- All romanceable characters must be clearly 19 or older.
- Preserve a mature, sensual, and visually alluring tone in character writing, art direction, outfits, poses, expressions, and scene composition.
- Prefer glossy anime romance game key art when creating base images or visual references.
- The target look is polished adult Korean dating-sim art: saturated color, crisp linework, expressive eyes, glossy highlights, bold adult silhouettes, and strong character-specific faces.
- Semi-realistic and photorealistic images are legacy comparison material only unless the user explicitly redirects the style again.
- Even shy, pure-hearted, or reserved characters should retain visible adult charm through styling, silhouette, gaze, posture, and lighting.
- Preserve distinct facial identities across the cast. Do not accept images that look like the same model in different clothes.
- Use `docs/art/facial_identity_matrix.md` when writing prompts or approving character images.
- Avoid making characters look underage, childlike, or styled as school students.
