How Do You Do It? (styled as how do you Do It?) is a 2014 video game by independent developers Nina Freeman, Jonathan Kittaka, Emmett Butler and Decky Coss. The game is a short browser game in which the player is a young girl who attempts to understand how sex works by experimenting with her dolls. Developed as part of the 2014 Global Game Jam, the subject matter of How Do You Do It? was designed as a short and humorous experience inspired by Freeman's childhood memories of playing with her dolls in the same manner. Upon release, the game received positive reception, with publications praising the game's light-hearted tone and representation of childhood experiences of understanding sexuality. The game was also nominated as a finalist for the Nuovo Award at the 2015 Independent Games Festival.
