Socks Incorporated is brought to you by: Awkward Hug awkwardhug.com

Awkward Hug makes fun by playing in the awkward space between our analog and digital worlds.

Our team is comprised of some of the most next-level brains out there, with diverse passions

and experience with game design, transmedia storytelling, strategy, design, and development.

We make awesome games. We make interactive and unforgettable experiences.

We tell great stories. We make fun.



If you are interested in working with Awkward Hug on this or any other project, contact Julie Coniglio, Producer.



Department Credits

Thank You...




  • Josh Fialkoff for bringing to the table everything that we needed; especially your ability to remain calm while witnessing our weird breed of insanity.

  • Geof Benson for making amazing scores in a jiffy... and for working on Mother's Day.

  • David Walker for embracing the chaos that is the Socks, Inc. live event!

  • Daniel Grace for helping us build the prototype for this experience.

  • Erin Isenberg for accepting the role of Florence so gracefully, it is as if you were a sock puppet secretary in a previous life!

  • Mike Monello for encouraging us and believing in this whacky project. You, sir, deserve a Mai Tai.

  • Power to the Pixel for inviting us to the 2010 Pixel Pitch.

  • Indiecade for allowing us to participate as a Big Game when we were still in development.

  • my peeps at Big Spaceship, especially Victor for listening to Jim's endless dialogue about Socks.

  • and to our families who have weaved an amazing web of support; including Jim's family at Undercurrent.

    • Awkward Hug
