The story

In the Style Savvy: Trendsetters game, you take on the role of a budding fashion mogul, working your way to the top of the fashion world! Manage your own boutique and help customers find the perfect outfit by keeping up with fashion trends, stocking new clothes for your store, and customizing your shop to reflect your personality. Choose from over 12,000 clothing items and accessories spanning 19 different brands to put together dream-come-true ensembles for hundreds of customers. Share your creations with friends who have the game through an online* shopping portal, download additional outfits online*, and discover an AR Photo Shoot mode that virtually puts your outfits into the real world!

What it’s like

Bright, candy-coloured boutique interiors rendered in soft anime cel-shading, with pastel walls, glossy display racks and a rotating cast of stylised shoppers who arrive in tidy, cheerful waves. The sound is a light, bouncy J-pop-leaning score with chiming percussion and cheerful little jingles that mark each sale, and the 3DS's handheld screen keeps everything crisp and tactile under the thumb. Days move at a gentle, unhurried clip: you open the shop, read the trend board, pick through clothing grids, and match outfits to customers' requests, with the satisfaction of a perfect pairing landing as a small, warm reward. The vibe is cosy, upbeat and low-stakes, the kind of thing to play in bed, on a commute, or as an easy evening session with a cup of tea. Intensity is nil: no violence, no threat, just mild social pressure in the form of customers who sometimes want something specific. Suited to people who enjoy dress-up, tidy management loops and cute, pastel-tinted worlds, and to anyone who likes making other people's days a little brighter.
