Sokfest

I made so many friends, my depression is cured now :)

This is a sweet point-and-click collectathon where you are collecting...friends! Doing various tasks to befriend Sokpop characters was super fun. Congrats on (now over) 100 games, Sokpop!

Sokfest, developed and published by Sokpop Collective, is less a conventional video game and more a celebratory digital playground that commemorates the studio’s prolific output. Created to mark a major milestone in the collective’s history, the game functions as a playful festival where characters, ideas, and references from dozens upon dozens of Sokpop titles converge in one shared space.

It's normal to have a hotbar of size 10 for games, which is exactly 5 item slots + 5 outfits - The inventory bar overlaps the flavor text of all items when I mouse over it - You can use an item on someone improperly. This makes the item disappear completely instead of putting it back in your inventory and returning a generic "I didn't want this" dialogue. Or maybe it just got dropped behind the person that doesn't move. You can tell if the character isn't outlin…
