Kewter's Showroom is a dress up game with some horror elements. The game is inspired by early 2000s flash games. You have to design your outfits for 7 days. Each day comes with a theme. Then you have to score a certain amount to pass. The game UI is fitting, and reminiscent of a lot of older dress up games for young girls. The character base design is good. The voice acting is fine, but loud. It has full audio and English subtitles supported. Would be nice if other languages were also localized. The controls are OK during character creation but you can't go back and choose a previous clothing item once you've made your selection [spoiler](this is an intentional feature)[/spoiler]. One thing I like is for the NPC outfits they choose one at random so they're not all the same every time. Te soundtrack and sound effects are good. Aside from that, the game doesn't allow for a lot of creativity with making the outfits. A personal gripe I have is Kewter's design doesn't look like she fits into an early 2000s character design style. It uses stylistic choices from the current era but doesn't really have the nostalgia factor. You have to choose at least some of the starred items to design your outfit otherwise it will be an automatic fail. All of the in-game sounds are way too loud; even if you turn them down through the menu it still sounds bass boosted. The sound effects don't add anything to the scare factor so it seems unnecessary. Had to turn down the game sounds manually through the voice mixer on my PC. I'm not a fan of the storytelling in this game. Every day is different and the closer you get to the end the more weird stuff happens; but it just reads as generic horror elements that try too hard to seem scary. There's no replayability aside from when you're trying to earn achievements, and you can only get them if you get the random chance to unlock bonus events at days 4 and 6. You have to restart the whole game to get those, you can't just reload from a previous save. [spoiler]Day 7 is odd too, you are just in an empty room. Your only option is to get to the far side of it. You're not being chased by anything. There's no sense of urgency. The controls aren't good when you walk. It feels awkward on mouse & keyboard because the way the camera moves.[/spoiler] One thing I hate is that the controls also don't allow you to skip dialogue. You're forced to the whole intro sequence without being able to fast forward. Overall, this is a short horror game which leaves much to be desired. It's a shame because it has a lot of potential to be good. Right now I cannot rate it higher because it feels very unpolished for mostly technical reasons. I feel like it missed the mark.

Big fan of this kind of horror. I like the aesthetic and pacing of this game, and also the extra lore bits that can be found if you poke around. Like other reviews have said, the sound compression is intentionally bad which is sometimes detrimental, but I did find that it added to the unsettling atmosphere.
