I admittedly didn’t get far in Fashion Dreamer because despite being rather excited to finally play it, it was immediately hit with far too many dealbreakers to feel salvageable.

The biggest issue the game has is it makes an effort to make the gender options more ambiguous by referring to the selectable Fem and Masc character models as Type A and Type B, only to then completely u-turn by making almost every single clothing item in the entire game locked to only one of the two character models, accessories like hats and earrings are unisex, but literally everything else from shirts to shoes are locked to one model and can’t be mixed into one look, and the only workaround is to make two different characters of each model for you to swap between.

It makes the experience feel very drab and arbitrary as you’re completely incapable of making any interesting, clashing or gender nonconforming looks that it got miserable extremely quick.

As far as I’m concerned, the core experience of personal and independent fashion creativity is squandered by this, and I’m just disappointed.
