Well, given that the game exists in the same universe as a certain pizza slinging deliverymanwoman, odd bouts of semi magical body manipulation are a potential factor.
In the game where "Alex" is from there was a stock current status body that would shift steadily from sexy times delivering pizza, eventually resulting in many possibilities-- including the well rounded, bubbly door to door delivery gal, full of zeal and appeal for even for horrific monstrosities such as myself that order pineapple on said pizza.
So if this is holding to a similar pattern, it is very likely our uh, hero, is going to go through some changes themselves on this semi digital journey.
That said, I totally get that Sparkle is way easier on the eyes and much more entertaining to follow. It's like those 90's action adventure movies that were all about "hacking" in a contemporary (now) setting, complete with wonky special effects and soundtracks.. fun to watch, but in reality, who would want to watch an actor tapping buttons while staring at a screen for an hour and a half, occasionally sipping on their eighth can of cola and occasionally scratching themselves?
Kayden being a concentrated bag of dicks is by design, and I'm curious what is to come of it. The fact that people loathe and despise is likely the intended effect.
I am.. curious.. what inspired the butterfly mask attire addition. Unfortunately the cloak and mask block a lot of the arts body and facial language, which is where a lot of the games charm lay, so it's certainly not my favorite.
