deviantart games

Deviantart used to host lots of great dress-up games. But when Flash ended in 2020, they decided it would be an excellent idea to replace all .swf entries with an image instead. So we can't even salvage the games anymore
UPDATE: Turns out the situation has evolved a little over the years! Some .swf files are once again available for downloading (you will need a deviantart account for that), others are being hosted on websites like Dolldivine, and some have even made it to collections on archive.org. If you remember the name of your favorite creator, go look for it!
