TRAILER





Did someone ask for:

* 90 unique-ish endings?
* 30 profound-ish life lessons to learn?
* Sock puppet humor and violence galore?



The Story of Socks



Serena

"This isn’t even the worst place I’ve been locked in.
* sigh * We don’t think about that, Serena.
"


What would you do if you were trapped somewhere for a long time? Put A Sock In It! dares ask the question: How far would you go to entertain yourself? With all her coworkers gone for the weekend, no way of contacting the outside world, and no hint of rescue in sight, Serena will discover that maybe, just maybe, her best friend is actually herself. And these puppets she just made from her socks...


You play the game by selecting each pair of characters, for a total of four combinations: Princess x Wizard, Ghost x Stable Boy, Wizard x Ghost, and Stable Boy x Princess. Each pairing gives you control of the situation and relationship from one of the characters' point of view. For example, in the Princess x Wizard pairing, the Wizard has abducted her and you play as the Princess, guiding the story with her reactions -- do you hate him, or could this be love?







Princess

Hobbies: Being happy, exploring, upkeep of castles, keeping tabs on neighboring princes.
Dislikes: Stuffy high society, imprisonment.



Wizard

Hobbies: Being powerful, subjugation, kidnapping, stealing, hexing, destroying enemies, summoning magical creatures.
Dislikes: Disobedience, paying for things.



Ghost

Hobbies: Being spooky and mysterious, haunting, revenge.
Dislikes: Traitors, killers.



Stable Boy

Hobbies: Spending time with animals, pitchforking things, dreaming of princesses.
Dislikes: Non-vegetarians, the dark past.






Summary


Having locked herself in a stairwell, Serena is quickly beginning to run out of distractions. Thankfully, she has two colorful socks and a penchant for amusing herself. So, to pass the time she will weave short, humorous skits based on your selections between characters of your choice, with storylines ranging from romantic melodrama between princess and stable boy to violent quarrels with an evil wizard. This game features one setting (Magic Kingdom) with four characters (Princess, Ghost, Evil Wizard, Stable Boy), altogether coming in at a little over 20, 000 words with all the variations.

* The game has sock puppet violence, and some suggestively risqué dialogue on the odd occasion.

THE WALKTHROUGH TO PUT A SOCK IN IT!

Put A Sock In It! got an amazing review from PC PowerPlay Magazine.
This is officially the first time something I worked on was published in print (with the exception of certain scientific papers I may have edited).



The lady who wrote the review is one of the rare few I have heard of who actually played the game all the way through. So to celebrate, I thought I would release:

THE WALKTHROUGH TO PUT A SOCK IN IT!

Check it out if you've been discouraged by the seeming aimlessness of the game in the past, and let me know what you think!  :)
