I'm looking for a good game with detailed character customization. I've always loved games where I can adjust my character to my liking. I don't care what kind of customization is present; just the details and complexity matter.

The character customization can be stat-based with perks, synergies and whatnot or purely appearance-based with detailed clothing systems or whatever.

It doesn't matter, as long as it's relatively detailed and has depth beyond just simply assigning stats or choosing between hair1 or hair2. The nature of the system doesn't matter to me. And the genre doesn't matter as well, I play all sorts of games.

I prefer pixel-art graphics, but anything is fine, even text-based games I enjoy. With one exception, 3DCG games. There's nothing wrong with those games, they're most likely good games judging by their popularity. But I've never liked the unity-store asset-looking 3D models. 3d games are fine, I just don't want *that* aesthetic. The realistic-looking but not quite real look, stylised 3d models are fine.

I prefer games that give me character customization at the very start, but games that start with preset characters are fine as long as I can customize them later. A female main character is also a preference, but again, it is not mandatory.

Of course, actual gameplay would be nice. I'm not looking for a dress-up doll game.

I've played Lilith's Throne before, it's one of my favourite games because of the character customization, being detailed in both the stats and appearance customization. And I love Tales Of Androgyny's combat stances and the details of the perks system.

Of course, these are merely the type of games I would like. I don't expect games of that level of quality.

Just some off the top of my head (you may or may not already be aware of some of them)

Here are a couple I have played. I love creating my own characters in games. Wish there was more of that. Most of what we get on F95 are Ren'py VNs, which I don't think are very good with character customizations. At least, not that I've noticed. You might want to try filtering a search by the "character creation" tag and look more at the Unreal Engine or Unity games.

Waifu Dreams City has a lot of character customization options. The dev creates his own art (no ai). It is an animated cartoon style. I'm not sure how to describe it....maybe Pixar-ish. It's very unique in my opinion. You mostly create the character, and explore the city. You dance at a night club and employ other dancers to earn money and experience points to unlock different levels, outfits, and sex toys. The dev updates the game regularly every Saturday, so it does stay pretty interesting to keep coming back to.

The other game I'd recommend is Home Together. It's being developed by Team Monolith, but it's nothing like Monolith Bay. Home Together is fun for a bit. There's a decent character creation system, though personally I think there are a few features lacking. For example, you only get 2 accessory options for the entire character (piercings, bunny ears, glasses, etc.) get used in this slot. For me, 2 is not nearly enough. You also only get 1 tattoo slot. It's either a couple of full body tattoo options, 1 custom option, or none. There are ways to mod the character if you go on Discord and do a bunch of stuff to a png file. I could never get it to work properly. I was on the dev's Patreon at one point, but the updates are slow and usually don't add much to the game.
