(although Obsidian's Pentiment may still be a true cRPG; I haven't investigated it much)
It is not. Think Disco Elysium minus RPG elements. There are some background choices that play into you available conversation choices, but they are too few and to limiting for me to consider them character creator. There are some Disco inspired checks, but they are choice, not character-build driven. Good game, loving it so far.
