Games Like Shirt Happens!

Shirt Happens! is an online co-op game about running a t-shirt workshop with your friends. Design the prints, make the shirts by hand, sell them, then film the whole mess and post it. Play with a couple of mates, go it alone, or bring up to 10 and turn the back room into a factory.

DESIGN IT YOURSELF

Your Shirt, Your Fault: The office PC runs a proper drawing app — layers, effects, blend modes, symmetry, the lot. Whatever you draw ends up on a real shirt that somebody then has to make. Every design is shared with the whole workshop, so your friend's ugly frog might become your best seller.

MAKE IT BY HAND

Cloth In, Shirt Out: Cut it, sew it, overlock it, press it, box it. Every machine takes real skill and every one of them can wreck the shirt. Sew too fast and it seizes. Miss a snag on the overlock and the whole thing tears open. The name is not an accident.

SPLIT THE WORK — OR DON'T

Nobody Hands Out Jobs: Spend the morning at the cutting table and wander off after lunch, or plant yourself at one machine and become the person everybody else knows to leave alone. Your skill points are yours to spend, so every crew grows its own specialists.

FILM IT AND POST IT

Your Worst Day Is Your Best Content: Pull out the phone and record the shift — your real shirts, your friends' real voices, the bit that went wrong. Cut it at the editing desk, snap it to the beat, drop in a voiceover blaming somebody else, and post it. The comments turn up while you're still sewing.

GROW THE BRAND

From Back Room To Label: Set your prices, watch demand move, keep the regulars happy and the returns down. Chase this week's trend or ignore it completely. Bulk contracts start turning up once people know your name — assuming the rent hasn't buried you first.

CLOCK OFF AT SIX

Then The Day Actually Stops: The courier takes the boxes at six and the clock freezes. Restock, draw tomorrow's shirt, throw a chair at a colleague, play darts, or take a finished shirt straight out of somebody's hands. The day ends when the crew votes to go to sleep.
