Hi friends! What do you think?

Shop Crush is a mysterious shop simulator with psychological horror elements, set in the early 2000s.

In this hybrid visual novel, you run a small thrift shop, get to know your customers, figure out what they really want, and decide what to put in front of them. Every customer has their own personality, preferences, and hidden motives - and it’s up to you to figure them out.

Behind each customer is a small psychological mystery waiting to be uncovered. Read their behavior, make the right calls, and balance profit against customer trust as you try to keep the shop running for one more day.

It was a PC game, gacha or full of micro transactions because I remember not being able to afford the full hat outfit, and missing out on time limited stuff. It was a bit anime-like. Not 3D. The clothing was super detailed and you could mix and match things. I was sure it was Love Nikki, but first Nikki game came out in 2012 so it couldn't have been it, but it was very similar.

1st drawing - the hat was in the game, I'm not sure about other things, as I must have simplified the dress a lot, and the hair seems like what I would have made up when I was 16. Face is drawn in my style so not like in the game.

2nd drawing - I don't think there was a naked outfit lol I just drew it naked(and censored it to post), but the hair, the tongue, the horns and the emoticons where in the game. Possibly the eye covering and similar face makeup as well, but I'm not sure.

Couldn't have been a mobile game cos I think I was rocking a Sony Ericsson Walkman or at the time. I didn't have a Steam account, but back then games were not restricted to gaming platforms, so it might have been on Steam as well. Could have also been a website game.

I know it's not much to go on, but I guess if anyone would know it would be people on this sub.

Hi everyone! ✨

I’ve seen so many people wishing for more whimsical, feminine fantasy games, and it's part of why my sister and I started working on this game called Threadworld. It's a dress-up and exploration game, loosely inspired by games we adore like Infinity Nikki, Spiritfarer, and cozy pixel games.

We’re currently a small team of just my sister and I, handling pretty much everything except the programming, which is done by a lovely volunteer developer (no generative AI has or will be used in the making of this game btw!)

In Threadworld you play as Sofie, a burned out fashion designer, who chases her cat into a magical realm where she goes on a quest to find him. Through exploring the world and doing quests you can find and craft new outfits to wear. Outfits also aren't only cosmetic, some of them will affect how you can interact with the environment around you and let you progress the story.

We're still at a very early stage with the game, as we just released an early prototype and are now working on adding more characters and gameplay, and improving the visuals :) Our longer term goals are to add more gameplay mechanics, puzzles, tons of outfits (of course), and different fantasy regions to explore, with aesthetics like fairies, mermaids, gothic castles, and cottagecore villages.

If this sounds like your type of game, you can check out the prototype on itch.io: [Threadworld]

Thank you for reading ❤️

Growing up, we played many games, and none of them have been able to properly represent Nigerian fashion:

Owambe. Ankara. Isi Agu. Aso-Oke. Gele. Agbada.

Choose a character, build your look, and enter a fashion battle to experience an interesting story of being a stylist in Lagos.

If you know anyone who loves fashion, let them try it out.

This is a labor of love from my team and me over the last couple of months. Link in the comments.

We updated our fantasy/monster girl dress-up web game with some halloween theming. I managed to add a little tribute to the Poe Sister's puzzle from Zelda, heh.

Wonder High Dress-Up is a fashionable beauty game that brings a ghostly style to school. Design outfits for creepy creatures, change faces, and swap shoes or wings to create a spooky wardrobe for your stylish classmates.
