Cleaning comes first, and it is a proper stage rather than a cutscene. Ariel is moving in with Eric, so the house has to be cleared: rubbish collected into the bin, floors vacuumed, before anything decorative happens.
Decorating follows, and the wardrobe is the smallest of the three parts, a summer print dress with some jewellery. Anyone arriving for dressing up alone should know that two thirds of this is housework and interior design.
Despite the tag it carries here, Barbie never appears. Capy made it, it runs free in a browser on a phone or a laptop, and there is no save.
How to play Ariel And Eric: A New Life
Clear the house first, picking up the rubbish and putting it in the bin, then vacuum the floors. Decorate the rooms next, choosing furniture and dressing that suit a couple rather than one person. Dress Ariel last, a summer patterned dress with jewellery, and screenshot the result because nothing saves.

Frequently asked questions
How much of this is dressing up?
The final stage only. Cleaning the house and decorating it take up most of the game, with one outfit and jewellery at the end.
Is Barbie in it, as the category suggests?
No. It follows Ariel and Eric moving in together, and the dressing at the end is Ariel alone.
