While the game seems like it’s all about fashion, there’s also the Dress to Impress Lana lore which brings along a mysterious horror-themed twist.
If you want to discover the secrets of Lana, or you just want to dress up, you can do so in Dress to Impress. For more lighthearted content on the game, read our How to Get Long Nails in Dress to Impress guide and have a nosey at our Dress to Impress codes!
Dress to Impress Lana Lore
If you’ve been playing a ton of Dress to Impress like me, you’ve more than likely spotted a strange face popping up everywhere. When watching the fashion show on the runway, there’s a woman’s face on the ground within an inflatable ring. While you’re planning an outfit, there’s a window that shows multiple figures of the same woman standing behind trees.
Looking closer, this woman is none other than Lana. Yes, the same Lana who does your nails before every show! She may paint your nails with the prettiest on-theme colours, but she’s hiding a dark secret.
Lana’s Horror Games
When visiting Lana’s Roblox account, you can find a small selection of strange games in her Favourites list. The only playable games are the first 4 in the list below, and all of them are horror games. It’s quite the tonal shift from the glamour of Dress to Impress. The names are as follows:
- The Fortress
- Forest
- Questionnaire
- Sanningens Galleri
- Meat Room
- This is a private experience that no player can enter
- sserpmi ot sserrd
- Another private experience
Forest
To summarise the events of Forest, you learn a little bit about Lana’s backstory. Upon reaching a maze, you find a gravestone that has Lana’s name on it. Sunflowers seem to have a large presence in this game, but as of right now, it’s not clear if this has anything to do with her lore specifically. Lana clones are wandering around the maze too, which from a later piece of information, may be those taking part in something called ‘The Awakening’.
Sanningens Galleri
The main things to take away from this instalment are the mannequins that stand in a circle and the photo of a monster looming behind Lana. The former may reference the supposed ‘Awakening’, and the monster with Lana may be the one who has organised it. We cannot see the monster’s face though, and unless there’s a literal monster involved, this may be how Lana interprets he who kidnapped her.
Lana’s Groups
The latest clues tend to come from the groups that Lana has created. One is called Saudade and the other is Plague. Occasionally, Lana posts a status into these groups, which are mostly cryptic hints.
The group description for Plague mentions a portal and ‘travesties that occur’ inside. However, the description for the Saudage group provides a little more information. It references the ‘birth of an uprising’ which is ‘united against the forces of evil’.
One of the most recent posts in the group is from Lana herself, stating that she sees a ‘doppelganger sitting at her desk’. Perhaps she’s talking about Lana who sits at the table in the nail salon in Dress to Impress?
The Lana YouTube Channel
9 videos have been uploaded to Lana’s YouTube channel so far, all of which vary in length, though most are quite short. I won’t spoil the contents of the videos, but they do give us some extra insight into what might be going on. I never expected a fashion game on Roblox to start going down the analogue horror route, but I like it!
Secret Room
There’s a secret room hidden behind the wall in the men’s section. By walking through this wall, you find yourself in a room that has walls of flesh. ‘Lana’ is written across one of the walls, meaning this unoccupied space has something to do with her. This new secret is reminiscent of the red themes in the horror spin-off games regarding Lana’s lore.
