Idk, I just think that if the game has the word "bara" in the title and the genre is known for overly-masculine and muscular body types (as well as a lot of body hair) that at least half of the cast should probably look like that.
Personally, I don't really mind their looks but think the title could've also easily been "Paradise Escape" without the pun (especially since Citali looks like a typical portrayal of a guy in the yaoi genre and bara is... not that).
Other than that I just hope that the finished game will be much more playable than this demo is since I kept running into errors until I gave up. Sad life.
On the contrary, "Bara"("Rose" in Japanese) is essentially the same as "YAOI" or "BL", which only featuring "flower-like" males for female audience.
"Bara" used for muscular males only among some communities and not wide spread.
For example, if you talk about "Bara", I would be confused which one you are referring to. And that's why you were explaining yourself.
Tho I do wonder if there are better ways to referring to "gay audience game", "masculine gay game". (I know in Japan they have "for gays" and "Muscle orientate")
As well as for the likes of this one, since it's in between "gay focused" and "Yaoi".
Also, this is a "Demo", Which = unfinished contents and bugs.
If it bothers you just wait it finished.
