The introduction to the game begins with a job interview scene in which someone is applying for a position at Fashion Fits, Mrs. Fitzgerald’s fashion company. She comments she hasn’t started as a successful CEO but from the bottom, just like the applicant, and recalls her story. Then is exactly when the game begins, so you’ll be playing Mrs. Fitzgerald role when she started working in the fashion business at Uber-Mart.
The first time you play the game a tutorial will show you step by step the basics of the game. The scenario is a typical fashion shop with some clothing tables, cash register, racks, and stuff like that. The first thing you need to do is make sure the tables are stocked. To stock the tables you pick up the clothes from the mannequin and then click on the table with the correct sign on it. Customers walk in the shop, take some clothes from the tables to try them on and then decide whether to buy them or not. Every time a customer takes clothes from the tables, you need to restock the table as soon as possible. When the customers don’t buy what they’ve tried on in the dressing room, you have to pick it up and put it back in the tables. Until you pick up the clothes from the dressing room, it’s not available for the customers to use it. When you need to place clothes on the tables but they’re full, you can use the discard rack. The customers who find what they want will go to the cash register to pay. Collect the money just by clicking the cash register. Happy customers will pick up some goodies on their way out, earning you an extra buck or two. There are different types of customers you have to deal with (grannies, seniors, soccer mom, among others). Depending the customer type the actions they will take. The basic idea is to sell the right clothes, keep the tables stocked and the customers happy, earning the most money you can.
