In what way?
I wouldn't say the fantasy setting or the artstyle particularly attempts realism.

It doesn't though? It may have a lot of self-referential humour and 'meta' elements but it never really implies at any point that the agency of the characters extends beyond the context of the game (i.e impacts reality).
Or to put it another way - it never acts like the reality of the game isn't distinct from actual reality.
