OBSESSED with Fashion

OBSESSED with Fashion looks like a cute dress-up game, all hand-drawn outfits and polaroid snapshots, but it plays like a slow unraveling that you cause yourself. The setup is tiny and the idea is sharp: you dress up Nikki, take her picture, and watch what the camera starts to catch. It is a fan game inspired by the movie Obsession, and that film’s creeping loss of self is the engine behind every click.

Dressing Nikki and Snapping Polaroids in OBSESSED with Fashion

The game runs on four small steps. You dress up Nikki, click the camera button to snap a polaroid, and certain clothing pieces add an effect to that photo. Every effect raises the number in the bottom-left corner of the screen, which is the only score you get.

Beginners tend to treat it like any other dress-up toy and hit the camera after a random outfit. The result is a cheerful polaroid, a counter stuck at zero, and a lingering question about why anyone calls this horror.

Dress-up fans who play for the hand-drawn art still get a pretty wardrobe to mix and match. The loop rewards curiosity over speed, and after several outfits you realize the clothes are the puzzle while the camera is how the game answers you.

Reading the Eye Icons: Pink Against Red

The eye icons are your memory. They mark which clothing you have already used, and the color tells you what happened: a pink eye means no effect, while a red eye means a scary effect that counts toward the number in the bottom-left.

That small system is where the planning lives. Instead of repeating the same cute look, you work through the wardrobe piece by piece and chase the red eyes, which gives completionists a tidy checklist feeling even as the polaroids get less friendly.

The trade-off is that you learn by trial. A piece only reveals what it does once Nikki has worn it, so a pink eye can feel like a wasted shot.

How Nikki Changes Across the Photo Shoot in OBSESSED with Fashion

Early in the shoot, the polaroids look like pastel keepsakes. Once the counter starts climbing, Nikki gets worse and worse with every snapshot, and the expressions are lifted from the film, so anyone who has seen Obsession recognizes them instantly.

That progression is the best part of the game. The dread comes from the contrast between a sweet dressing screen and a face that is slowly wrong.

It also explains why the idea fits the source so well. Obsession is about a person being erased, and each red-eye polaroid does a little of that erasing.

Playing Without Having Watched the Movie Obsession

You do not need the film. One commenter said they had never seen Obsession and still enjoyed the dress-up loop, and another imagined a much bigger fashion horror game built on the same hook.

A run lasts only a few minutes, which suits a coffee break and ends before the loop wears thin. That brevity is also the common wish list item: the idea is strong enough that people want more outfits, more photos, and a longer slide for Nikki.

OBSESSED with Fashion is a small game that makes one idea land: every red eye you trigger on Nikki’s polaroids pulls the photo further from the cheerful snapshot you meant to take. Go through the wardrobe slowly, watch the counter in the bottom-left, and notice the moment a pink eye starts to feel like relief.
