** Jump to the COMPLETED GAME thread! Put A Sock In It! was released! **
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 locked away on your own in an uncomfortable space for a long time? Put A Sock In It! dares ask the question: How far would you go in the name of entertaining 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...

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 (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 rare occasion.

We originally planned to release this game for NaNoReNo 2016, but clearly that hasn't happened, and it's still slowly being put together. Besides the Kingdom, there are three other settings outlined, with four characters apiece, and we would like to see how much interest there is based on this release. Look forward to it soon-ish!
