A dress up monster doll with a really silly name and a twist. I think it's cute.

Unzip the package and run Should Have Worn Socks Today.exe
If it doesn't work, run Winsetup.exe and try different things, like windowed.

Another game full of meaning. Well done. Is there a secret ending of some kind ? I only found one so far...

Very sad and beautiful at the same time.

@Marcellus : nope, sorry, there is only one ending this time

Dress-up game touching on issues of body image? The short and sweet little concept games like this are few and far between and I enjoyed it.

story wise this is very very cool. Really enjoyed it till the end. Good work!

It's a dress-up game, so I'm not sure I can judge this in the same way I could judge a platformer or a puzzle game or something like that. I mean, there's a huge range of outfits and accessories which let you dress up our monster friend in a million ways, which is the point, I think.

The twist at the end is interesting-- I sort of saw it coming after playing "One of Them," so it wasn't nearly as effective. But it's still a very cool reversal when taken in the context of the theme.

Short but I enjoyed it! Music was fitting the melancholy of it all and it was nice seeing the dress-up-doll genre augmented with a little more meaning and exposing the superficiality of both players and avatars. Very retro (I know, I say that a lot, but I mean it in a good way) :) Also very original and well executed graphics!

OK, I can't call this "fun". But I give gladly a 5 stars for the mood of the game.

Sweet :) and in a way really meaningful. Congrats!

One of my favorite entries! Spent a shameful amount of time after the first play just trying out new outfits...

Could use a built-in Print-screen button! Instant game of the year material if you did it with twitter/FB sharing

Interesting, but I think more words (like a sentence each time you choose an other clothing) would make a stronger link with the character...

Meaningful, thank you for this.

Beautiful game. I wasn't expecting the twist at the end.
A bit sad, but as others have said; meaningful.
Loved the music and graphics.

Impeccable work, really. Congrats.

It IS cute u
Very good job on the music this time! Really impressive.
It might be short but it's sweet and to have her comment on herself throughout the game was just a perfect little touch!

At first I thought it would be just another dress-up, but I really liked the story in in and the mood!

Nice mood for this one.
A bit short. I try a few times and I always have the same ending, is their some alternatives ones ? Could be nice.

Wow, the mirror is a real creeper :P. An interesting way to take the customization portion of the game, and turning it into a narrative. I do like the surprise ending. Very cool.
