Regarding Tags
The official abbreviation on sites such as X (formerly Twitter) is "GaaKuri" (ガークリ lit. "GirCre").
The very same "GaaKuri" has already been used in G123's "Girls & Creation," so it is strongly recommended to differentiate them to avoid confusion between these works. Match the abbreviation with their official names.
(although there might be cases of name tag variations from other companies' works as well)

Story
It was once said that the town of Athens was created by Gods of Art.
The people of this town use works of art embedded by the power of God,
thus they lived a rich and peaceful life.
However, one day, a work of art designed to kill people
———"The Art of Death," begins to circulate.
The Art of Death hurt the people,
and many artists become fascinated by the Art of Death.
At that time, the "Artists" of the "Dreams Arts Museum,"
a museum once established in Athens with the purpose
to collect and protect all kinds of arts,
rise up to fight against the Art of Death.
"This is the story about beautiful Artists
and the Art of Death——"
Gameplay & Features
Girls Creation is a strategy role-playing game (SRPG) centered around the culture of fine arts. It casts the player into the role of an Arts Museum Director, who leads the Heroines called "Artists" on a quest to confront the sinister organization known as "The Art of Death."
In the action gameplay, it consists of a tactical strategy game where units take turns making moves to defeat the enemy. Each units have their own skills and abilities which can be used to power up their combat capabilities.
At the museum, it features 2.5D base-building gameplay where its purpose is to collect or create artwork and attract visitors to the museum. To do this, the player can assign Artists to create works of art by using collected resources. These artwork require hours to complete. Once the artwork is complete, it can be displayed in the museum to attract the visiting people. By attracting visitors, the player can accumulate passive resources overtime. The more visitors attracted, the more resources can be gained.
The Heroines (units) in the game, called "Artists," are based after famous artist figures throughout history. They carry the power of 'Arts' which consists of their magical powers and abilities. All of them are affiliated with the "Dreams Arts Museum" (夢幻美術館 Mugen Bijutsukan), where the Protagonist owns and resides.
The Heroines can also be interacted with by forming relationships and increasing their affection. The heroine's affection can be simply increased by giving them gifts. Increasing the Heroine's affection unlocks the Heroine's side-stories that can be viewed for more insights of the Heroine's characteristics as well as slice-of-life and other situations between the Protagonist and the Heroine. In the R-18 version, reaching higher affection unlocks special scenes where the Protagonist has sex with the Heroines. These can be viewed after watching their safe-for-work side stories. All scenes and sprites are highly animated with smooth interjections between.
