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?
PrincessHobbies: Being happy, exploring, upkeep of castles, keeping tabs on neighboring princes.
Dislikes: Stuffy high society, imprisonment.
WizardHobbies: Being powerful, subjugation, kidnapping, stealing, hexing, destroying enemies, summoning magical creatures.
Dislikes: Disobedience, paying for things.
GhostHobbies: Being spooky and mysterious, haunting, revenge.
Dislikes: Traitors, killers.
Stable BoyHobbies: 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.
