Game overview

Paper Doll Diary: Dress Up DIY treats styling as a craft project rather than a quick swap. The wardrobe runs to well over a thousand items across clothing, accessories, hairstyles and makeup, and pieces are layered onto a paper doll so an outfit builds up one decision at a time. There is no scoring and nothing to lose, which makes it a game about actually finishing a look you like rather than hitting a target.

This title is best suited to players who like open-ended styling with a very large wardrobe.
