01 / THE GUIDE
Create Your Cute Model
At the start you build a model using a selection of trendy clothing, hairstyles, and makeup items. The description emphasizes that these items are approved by “Nicola”, allowing free combination to craft a visual look.
The system focuses on appearance rather than combat or skill trees, so each customization choice directly influences how your model looks for upcoming jobs.
- Mix hair and makeup styles to see which combinations feel most cohesive with your outfits.
- Keep a few versatile pieces that can adapt to multiple job themes.

Magazine, TV, and Runway Jobs
The game offers three job categories: magazine work, TV shows, and fashion shows. Magazine work includes assembling outfits based on themes, participating in photo shoots, and arranging article layouts.
TV and runway jobs present the model on camera or a catwalk, requiring you to present the chosen look to an audience within the game's narrative.
- When a magazine theme is announced, prioritize items that match the described mood.
- Consider the visual impact of your outfit during TV and runway jobs for stronger presentation.
