Seam-Stressed!

It’s your first day running your own boutique - and you’re really nervous. But no need to worry! Your assistant, Herb, has been in the business a looooong time, and is super excited to teach you all he knows! Together, you work hard to create bespoke outfits for your clients, meeting many new friends along the way!

Create outfits by choosing from a selection of fabrics, shapes, and accessories - but make sure you listen carefully to your clients for the best reviews. Learning about your clients’ backstories is an essential part of the creative process, so listen out for any important information! 

Seam-Stressed! is an Nintendo64-style dress-up game made by a group of first-year games design students at Canterbury Christ Church University in a limited amount of time.
