its a nice little app for teto to be on my screen, and ive enjoyed it a lot the quality of the model and interactions is high and well done my main gripe is the fact all these characters cost a lot more than they should really, they should be half the price they are now and then itll be really worth it, cause 24 bucks aud for a single character is WAY over priced and if you like muitple characters then say goodbye to your wallet tldr: good characters, models and interactions bad pricing like big time teto is worth it though
Teto lives on my desktop and she's very cute. There's a lot of room for improvement to be fair, the animations are fairly limited and some simple options such as being able to toggle her shadow would be nice. The app is still being worked on though, so maybe it'll expand in the future and I am looking forward to the two characters on screen together update. When that comes along, I might bag me a Miku. The most common complaint I've seen is that the price for new characters is a bit steep, and yes it is. But the app is free and the default girl is cute too, so you can always give it a go before paying out to see if you want it.
