A strange little side quest
One reason fashion and style keeps producing good game ideas around Roxie's Kitchen: Mochi Daifuku is that its history is full of strange turns. By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. The Oregon Trail began in 1971 when three student teachers created a computer simulation to help Minnesota schoolchildren learn American history. So a round of Roxie's Kitchen: Mochi Daifuku is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
