One fateful morning, you wake up to a phone call and find out your boss, Lydia Glaus, the Editor in Chief of mega-famous, ultra-fashionable GLOSS Magazine, has fallen into a coma! As her favorite intern, you’re suddenly put in charge of everything fashion in the futuristic city of New Palano. Edit the book, fix style emergencies, and maybe even find love, but make sure nobody finds out that a lowly intern is in charge in the fashion-forward life sim, Gotta Gloss!

CHARACTERS

The initial release will include two romanceable characters, Helena Lighter and August Natural!

⋆𐙚 Helena Lighter is—well, was your partner-in-crime as Lydia’s only other Editorial Intern. She’s dedicated to rising through the ranks and becoming fashion royalty herself, and doesn’t like when other people get in her way. So, when you’re put in charge of the magazine while Lydia’s out, she sees it as a full disrespect of the talent she knows she has. Despite her somewhat hotheaded personality, Helena is very nice to everyone she doesn’t view as a threat to her success, including her old-lady-neighbor who somehow always needs her help.

⋆𐙚 August Natural is somewhat of a legend around GLOSS’ headquarters, being known as either “August from Finances” or the “beautiful man who bikes to work every morning.” He’s a total office heartthrob who can get away with any fashion disaster because, somehow, every single outfit looks good on him. He’s also known for frequenting New Palano’s trendiest coffee shops, where he’s also very popular among the baristas.

Other characters—romanceable and unromanceable—include:

⋆𐙚 Lydia Glaus, the Editor-in-Chief of GLOSS, who fell into a coma! ⋆𐙚 Marc Scara, Lydia's Executive Assistant and the crutch of the magazine! ⋆𐙚 Connie Torres, GLOSS' Head Makeup and Hair Artist, who makes sure every model that has a face that matches the clothes! ⋆𐙚 Dolly Shaw, the photographer whose creative mind puts together GLOSS' unique sets for their shoots! ⋆𐙚 Georgie Spinner, GLOSS' Head Writer known for her endless kindness! ⋆𐙚 Denna Marsala, the Social Media Intern under GLOSS' High School Stars program! ⋆𐙚 Kit Soukoulis, world-renowned Designer and the other founder of GLOSS magazine! ⋆𐙚 Cas Tirecto, Kit's apprentice and the future of GLOSS' fashion design! ⋆𐙚 Maude, the Supermodel and the record holder for most appearances on the cover of GLOSS!
