Frutiger Home character customization

Quick answer

Change Appearance has a Color tab and an Accessories tab. The demo did let you restyle the jelly body, and faces are a requested feature.

Short answer

Character customization lives in a window called Change Appearance, with two tabs — Color and Accessories. The Color tab drives the jelly body through Base Color (Hue / Saturation / Value), Glow (Hue / Saturation / Amount) and Sparkles (Amount), with Confirm and Reset buttons. A player asked in the demo period whether character colour could be customized at all — the screenshot below is the answer.

The character model sits on the left of the window, a rounded body with a spherical head in a cyan-to-green gradient with a glossy highlight — the same jelly shape you see standing in the official room screenshots.

What the demo threads asked

DateQuestion or requestWhat we can say
10 Jul 2026"Is it possible to customize your character color in the demo?"Yes — the Change Appearance window with Base Color/Glow/Sparkles appears in the official demo screenshots
5 Sep 2026"Add faces to the guys that are toggleable"A request, not a feature. No developer confirmation before launch
22 Aug 2026Controller support described as "horrible" in the demoRelevant here because character editing is menu-heavy; the full game lists Full controller support while the demo only lists Partial

How to approach it

  1. Style the body first, then the room. Base Color/Glow/Sparkles are cheap to redo; a house full of furniture styled to match a character you later repaint is not.
  2. Use Glow for readability, not decoration. In the official screenshots the jelly characters are the brightest objects in an aqua room — Glow and Sparkles are what make you find your own character in a wide shot.
  3. Reset is the safe move. The window ships with Reset next to Confirm, so experimenting costs one click rather than a manual undo.
  4. Accessories are a separate tab. If you only see colour controls, you are on the Color tab — the switch sits at the top of the window.

Known gaps

  • Full option counts are unpublished. The screenshot shows sliders, not a catalogue; we cannot tell you how many accessories exist.
  • Faces are not confirmed. The most-liked cosmetic request in the forums was toggleable faces. As of 26 September 2026 there is no official answer.
  • No official size/appearance presets are documented. The store page describes decorating a home, not creating a character, so treat this as a styling tool rather than a character creator.
