I wanted this game to be good so bad, but...
The music is great! The graphics are okish. The story is sparse. And the gameplay is just incredibly tedious. I love idle games and time managment, but this is just waiting around forever.
This game gets a solid meh. If you can get it on sale and if you like time management and dating sim games it's a cute little game to give a shot.
The artwork is cute, the storyline interesting enough and I really appreciate that there is a wide variety of people to befriend and to date.
The downsides are already mentioned in other reviews; until you buy the boosters the weeks take a long time, time management is a little hard to do because some events are only once a year and if you don't have the money to attend you have to play out a whole year again, the music is cheery but gets repetitive etc.
I think I'll return to this game in the future to complete all the achiements
It's a strange game and really doesn't respect the player's time.

Cosplay Maker is good for killing time in an addictive, but repetitive time-management sim with dating sim aspects. However, it's just not a particularly good game. The art is hit-or-miss that leans towards miss and the story leaves you wanting, to say the least. I couldn't recommend it at full price, but maybe if you see it on sale for five dollars or less it would be worth checking out. Even then, though, I'd be hesitant to say it's worth your time.
+PROS:
Good, albeit repetitive music
A wide array of love interests to pursue
-CONS:
Awkward, unlikable art style
Very bare bones story
Repetitive gameplay
One dimensional characters
Cosplay Maker might have been a better game if it had a slightly higher budget, but as it is, it's not worth picking up unless heavily discounted.
Oddly addictive yet boring. Make a costume and do some other random things like go on social media, work or hangout with a friend. Thankfully you can buy upgrades for your character that make the costume creation go quicker.
The game is only slightly worth it if you can get it on sale. Otherwise don't bother.
Firstly, let me say that many of the points raised in the negative reviews are valid. The music is good, though way too repetitive, as is much of the gameplay.
However!
This game, the story and its characters touched me more deeply than I expected. It isn’t a game about cosplay so much as people. I’ve never cosplayed before myself, however the characters are recognizable from pretty much any online, gaming, or convention community. They aren’t tropes, but they are people you know. Their backstories aren’t life changing, but they are human and deep enough that perhaps you might look at the people you meet online a bit differently. I’m still playing because I want to find out more about these characters.
So yes, I strongly recommend this game, not as a simulation game, but as a visual novel. Looking forward to seeing what this dev does next!
This game is very slow and the tasks are repetitive, which is a huuuuge drawback - it's alright in small doses. I do enjoy the funny overarching story and appreciate the details regarding costume making. I feel that the social aspect has been well developed and I do love the graphics. The costumes are great as well as the character's skill development. It's not the best casual game out there but it's innovative and I would recommend grabbing it when it's on sale.
Great game! Spent half of my time playing this tbh. <3
Really charming and relaxing game, with time management and geek drama. Also the soundtrack is fabulous.
Where do i even START with thIS gaMe......as a cosplAYER im insulted that the developer belived that cosplay is a joke and a half aparently. she make it seem like cosplay is a waiting game.....and in some way it is, but mostly its a skill game. you use your skill to make cosplay cosumes in order to win affection, love, sex, money, and industrial innovation. all of these are important.
secondly, cosplay is NOT a matter of hobby. hobby cosplaying is like hobyy music making. stick to myspace music BOZO and get away from the real deal cosplayers!! cosplay requires all your time and money! you cant just go and work a fast food job weekdays, evenings, and weekends and expect to build the perfect cosplay. thats rediculus!
thirdly, cosplay is not for the faint of heart. you have to give it your all!!!!! i ahve spent around 10,00 dollars bu8ilding my fabrics colection and it not easy.
it not easy.
so before you make anothewr cosplays game, please do some f*cking research DUMMY!!!!!! or else the whole cosplay community will be laughing and pointing at you with anger!!!
f8uck you
Oh my god,this game is freaking terrible, the art work is awful, the design of the clothes are bulky and sloppy. The upbeat jazzy music as good as it is doesn't fit with the game at all! i played like 5 minutes and i'm like "im out!" lol
This game has a lot of potential but, in the end, falls flat. The fact that one of the main characters declares the final main story scene as "an anticlimax" pretty much sums it all up.
I was immediately disappointed when I started the game and realized that I couldn't customize my character's looks at all. I expected to be able to change her hair color at least! Nothing. On top of that, the surreal feeling of being the only character who doesn't talk is pretty strong in this game. Even when you talk with your friends on messanger during the week, the chat bubbles only point one direction... she is silent in all things.
I was disappointed again (though not surprised) that there was no creativity when it came to making the costumes, either. The tongue-in-cheek references were sometimes slightly amusing, but they would have felt more natural if there was humor in ANY other part of the game. And there really isn't.
The side characters are all okay, a little bland but not too bad. I can't imagine wanting to spend enough time "talking" to one of them long enough to date them. The friendship stat goes up so slowly that it was almost laughable.
The main storyline isn't the most exciting, but it was good enough that I decided to play through to the end. The last two scenes are painfully anticlimactic, however. There's almost no hints to the "culprit," which makes the reveal boring, since there wasn't really a sense of "did I guess right?!" I'll use rot13 to add my final thought on the plot: Senaxyl, V jnf ubcvat gur ragver gvzr gung gur CP jbhyq or gur zlfgrel cbfgre. Gung jbhyq unir orra n gjvfg!
The upgrade you could buy (for ridiculously high prices) were almost useless. I noticed almost no difference between the lowest sewing machine and the highest, and the magazines and books brought up your stat by so little that they were effectively pointless. It also irked me that the developers put in the option to buy and upgrade that made each day go faster (and yes, you will HAVE to buy this, because the repetative and boring screens will make you fall asleep otherwise).
The main thing that annoyed me, however, was the oversimplified schedule. The game would have improved 100% by simply letting me choose a different task for each day of the week, instead of having to pick one task for the entire workweek. There were lots of times when I wasted a day because my costume was already at 100%, etc. If I had been able to make more choices, the slow friendship stat and low wages would have been easier to swallow.
All in all, this was a very mediocre game and it didn't have enough humor to justify playing it, even if you're very into cosplay/anime/manga. If you do decide to play it, I have two tips:
1) Don't waste your money on the games available in the hardware store
2) Social media presence is VERY important.
If you're a fan of those simulator types, this game will keep you entertained for some time. I love most of the costumes, and the music and intro video is surprisingly good. But for me, that's it. The game itself became boring (and long) after a while and the story line wasn't good enough to keep me playing.
There is no doubt this game is cute. That being said, the game is super repetitive. I turned off the music shortly after I started the game, as the songs repeat over, and over and it quickly gets on your nerves. There is little variety while you're playing either. You set to one task during the day Monday-Friday, a different task in the evening and then something for Saturday and Sunday. You can't pick what to do each day, so if you finish a costume on a Wednesday, you're stuck "working" on it the rest of the week.
At any rate, I'm still addicted to trying to get all the costumes. But, I'd love more variety in the game play.
A fun little time management game. Definitely a good representation of the cosplay and convention community as a whole. Game feels a little unpolished, and the gameplay is a little repetitive, but time sort of flew by as I played it. The main story is solid, though I would have liked the romance subplots to play a bigger part in the narrative. You get someone's relationship value high enough, start dating them, aaaand never really hear anything about it again.
Bonus points for the game continuing after the main story is done. Much like doing real cosplay, it never ends! You're here forever! :D
Cosplay drama: The Game
Good little story woven through the game mechanics that reflects on the cosplay community at large, the good and the bad
Music will be stuck in your head for weeks to come.
Doesnt work.
Scarily addictive. The jazzy music and goals make this game able to last hours without even noticing.
If you're a fan of management sims and love those "Just one more upgrade" kind of games, this is a one for you.
I feel a little conflicted in writing this review. There are some elements I felt this game did pretty well.
+Pretty good music
+Great opening video
+Interesting idea
+Mechanics are pretty solid
-Art style is hit or miss
-Takes too long to go through the week
-Not enough events to break up repetitive game play
