I love this , September 5, 2022I want to physically inject this game into my brain. The writing is so gorgeous and the references to other story paths are so good and the worldbuilding. The worldbuilding!! I want to put this game inside a heart shaped pewter locket and carry it around with me like a colonial era soldier carrying around a picture of his wife. In conclusion I love this game and I recommend it to everyone who has ever lived Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Entertaining, if wordy, parody, May 24, 2016Magical Makeover is a self-styled parody of over-the-top Flash games 'for girls', namely those whose interactivity consists wholly of choosing outfits. It starts with floridly named makeup products and a rhyming, snarky mirror but delves into a touch of body horror, and into riffs off fairy tales. Was this review helpful to you?

Body-Horror Godmother, March 22, 2015by Sam Kabo Ashwell (Seattle) A familiar tack of Twine advocacy pieces: take some problematic social issue, particularly as expressed through games, and make it grotesque and unsettling. In this case, it’s a satire/re-appropriation of beauty-oriented games targeted at young girls: beauty products are presented as uncanny magic, and have actually-transformational results with strange consequences. There is a judgy magic mirror. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Very, very cute., November 1, 2014by Chrysoula I haven't actually played any of the games that inspired it but it's hard to miss the point. It's also absolutely adorable; I've reached three of the available ending types and found each one charming. The dialogue is great and the relationships are fun. Recommended.

Grew on me, October 31, 2014by Ferdie The first time I played through Magical Makeover, I enjoyed the descriptive writing and snappy dialogue, but wasn't sure how sold I was on the game's low-choice structure. But after a few replays, I started to see how the different paths hinted at each other and played off my growing understanding of the game's universe. Was this review helpful to you?

Not the leech pit again!, April 20, 2014by Hanon Ondricek (United States) This is Twine's default theme, but with a pink background where the text is tiny and still hard to read. (Spoiler - click to show)That is why the one sadly missing star. :( I *just* started futzing with Twine, and I am terrible at javascript and HTML, but even I found some default CSS templates and advice on the Twine forums to make my text bigger and take up the entire page. (Ms. Woodson: at least increase the font size and I will add the fifth star. Contact me if you need help or direction to resources!) Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
