How to play the Dress Up Chloe minigame!
By CZBGR Icepick
For the most part, this game doesn't come with instruction manuals, yet it is hella amazeballs the fact that very few people figured out how to change Chloe's clothes to their liking. This guide serves to clarify what you should be doing so you can have fun dressing up Chloe! It's fairly simple, but somehow people need this guide.

For KBM Users:
  1. Finish the concert scene.
  2. In scene 2, Chloe's room, find the dresser (it's the one on the right).
  3. Open said dresser.
  4. To choose clothes, simply move your mouse to find your selection and follow the onscreen instructions.
  5. Select your desired outfit.
For Controller Users:
  1. Complete steps 1-3 above.
  2. To choose the outfit, it should be the right joystick (mapped to joystick mouse or other), which you use to move the camera.
  3. You know the rest.
Bonus
For those wondering what the clothes are in Episode 1, the complete set is 7 outfits in all. Hella big spoilers below, brah!

Base game:
  • Butterfly (Gray shirt, skeleton with fire colored wings, normal dark jeans, black/white/blue sneakers)

  • Raven (White shirt, red circle/sun, Rorschach-like/dripping paint black raven in the front, normal dark jeans, black/white/blue sneakers)

  • Firewalk (Black shirt, white Firewalk lighter logo, normal dark jeans, black/white/blue sneakers)*
Bonus outfits (Deluxe Edition only):
  • Hawt Dawg Man (White t-shirt, Hawt Dawg Man color logo, Black unzipped hoodie (bunnyhug for you Canadians out there), ripped/worn dark jeans, black/white sneakers)

  • Illuminati (White tank, Black Illuminati logo, skinny jeans, white sneakers)

  • Punk Doe (Black t-shirt over gray longsleeve shirt, Pink "Jane" with doe logo, cutoff jean shorts over black leggings, black boots)
Pre-order Bonus:
  • Classic Chloe (White shirt, buffalo skull with feathers in black ink, ripped/worn skinny jeans, black cowgirl boots)
Notes
*I am aware that when you choose the FireWalk outfit, it's the only one you can get a special response from the characters (unless this changes in the future). You absolutely MUST steal the shirt in order to have a complete set to choose to wear it. You may skip stealing it, which also means skipping stealing the money for whatever use you may want, but then it will not show up in the dresser.

I missed it the first few times I did episode 3, but it was definitely worth finding! I liked the resultant dialog changes. I guess folks were more helpful with Mrs. Amber than I was. :steamhappy:

Episode 3? Everyone knew that one already.

I think I just found the hidden outfit in Episode 3 as well.

That is correct - the Firewalk outfit does not appear in Ep. 2. There is an equivalent of the Firewalk outfit - you won't get it by default - you have to unlock it - but I don't know how spoileriffic you want me to be here. Finding it - and wearing it - will also change the dialog like the Firewalk t-shirt did in Ep. 1.

I did a playthrough, but I recall at this moment when I got the FireWalk outfit before, it does not re-appear in Ep 2. I'll have to look at the other shirts for what they were again, but I know that particular extra outfit is not there. They are a similar design to the Ep 1 ones, and I recall distinctly that one of them said it was a Rorschach type one like I described one of those shirts, interestingly. I just havent tried them all at this point.

That is correct - there's basically two bonus slots. One bonus has the 3 bonus outfits from the Deluxe - the other bonus slot has outfits like the pre-order or the Square Enix registered outfit. The bonus shirts don't appear to change per episode.

Then - just like Episode 1 - there's default outfits - plus one you can uncover during Ep 2 only. I'm being a bit non-specific so as not to spoil - but just like the Fire Walk t-shirt - if you "unlock" the extra outfit, the dialog changes to reflect that.

As far as I'm aware, since obviously I'm not an SE user, the Ep 2 clothing is the same number as the Ep 1 shirts, minus the FireWalk one. The only difference is, the main 3 outfits are different, but you still keep the same bonus outfits.

Also - in EP 2, there is an outfit like the FireWalk t-shirt that's normally not available. You have to do some extra steps to get it. When you wear it - it also generates new comments that don't occur otherwise.

There's another outfit too - if you're a registered user with SquareEnix. :) It's called "Bird Skull".

That is the problem. It would become nothing more than that. I wrote this guide to address the major issue/complaint that people couldn't figure out how to use the feature properly. Episode 2 doesn't really have major changes except the content, which doesn't affect anything. With that, I would be leaning on not changing it unless it has changed.
