Top Model Academy

Germany's Next Topmodel: Das offizielle Spiel zur Staffel 2009 is based on the German reality show Germany's Next Topmodel. The player takes control of one of twelve contestants which all live in a free accessible apartment. Every twenty days, they are judged by a jury and the worst one gets eliminated from the show. The judgment is based on three character stats: styling, self-confidence and popularity. Popularity gets improved by talking with the other contestants. The player has to choose between three sentences, two mean and a nice one. Of course, just the nice one improves the stat. The styling is divided into clothes, makeup and hairstyle. In each one, the player receives a reference and needs to shape their model after it. If the final result isn't up to the game's standards, the player will be hinted at one aspect of the styling that needs to be improved and given another try, at the cost of one extra day. The last stat, self-confidence, gets raised by answering trivia questions about fashion styles and doing successful photo shoots. These are mini-games where the player needs to emulate movements with their input device.
