Polyamorous relationships have more than two partners, whether they are closed triads, open monogamous relationships, relationship anarchy, or other bespoke relationship arrangements.
This collection is part of my directory of other people's creations on itch.io, Curated Collections of LGBTQIA, where you can find more collections about other topics. I personally select and review each creation in them, even if they are different than my own views or experiences as a queer person myself.
Content: Rated R. No actual sex scene is written or seen, but the story revolves around plans for one. It makes references to various things used for sex acts and kink, and discusses consent.
Medium: A tiny computer game created with Bitsy. It can run in your web browser. The game is only in French. A fan has written a complete English translation in the comments.
Length: About ten minutes. There is one ending and no choices, so you can see the whole story in one play through.
Genre and subject: Comedy.
About: Search your bedroom for the harness while your two girlfriends make playful remarks as they wait to use it on you.
Queer themes: Lesbians. Polyamory. Transgender women. (One of the triad mentions that she takes estrogen.)
Vibe: Silly and realistic. Naughty and yet also wholesome.
Content: Rated R. "The game features an optional sexually explicit section, which requires the player’s consent before moving forward, and can be skipped in its entirety. The Abridged PDF removes this scene as well."
Medium: "a digital comic with light choose-your-own adventure mechanics". More than 130 full color comic book pages.
About: "... an award-winning interactive graphic novel telling the story of ... two men, with two polar opposite sexualities, working together toward one mutually fulfilling relationship."
Queer themes: Polyamory. Gray-asexuality. Men loving men.

Medium: A booklet.
Length: 10 pages.
About: "Generate the properties of a polycule using random dice tables, for use in a roleplaying game or fiction you're writing or whatever else!"
Content: Unrated.
Medium: Computer game. It can run in your web browser. It is playable, but its development is on hold.
About: "The invasion is happening. Your loves are away. Find them. This game is a strategic polyamorous love quest. You play an engineer on a quest to find your two loves during a time of war. You cannot fight, so it may be wise to avoid any armed forces."
Content: Rated R, 18+.
Medium: Book. An illustrated memoir.
About a long-term relationship between three men within a plural system.
Content: Unrated.
Medium: A huge and extremely complex visual novel created with Ren'py. Ten hours long, with replay value, because it has many meaningful choices.
Story: A high fantasy political mystery.
Relevance: The woman protagonist has many options for romantic, platonic, and polyamorous relationships.
Content: Rated G.
Medium: Pixel art icons, for use in Twitch streams and game projects. These designs have the colors of various pride flags, and come in various shapes and sizes. Hearts, 18x18; smaller hearts with more white space around them but still 18x18; rippling flags, 18x18. Then the same designs, scaled up to 36x36, with chunkier pixels.
Relevance: The icons in this pack are not labeled with the names of the flags, but I do see a polyamory flag in there.
Content: Rated PG-13.
Accessibility: There is no audio, so it's friendly to Deaf/HoH players. The light pastel color scheme would be difficult for people with low vision or sensitive to eye strain.
Medium: A computer game created in Bitsy. It runs in your browser.
Genre and subject: Fiction. Ghost story.
Length: About fifteen minutes to play the whole game.

About: Print out this bookmark. It is your passport for recording your travel through the diverse world of books. At the top, describe yourself. Below that, there are sections on the bookmark for particular types of authors: banned, indigenous, queer, etc. When your bookmark enters or leaves a book by a particular type of author, stamp that section and write the date.
If you do not choose to print a version of the bookmark that uses the least ink, then you can choose from 20 different pride flag backgrounds to represent yourself.
Relevance to this collection: One of the flag designs is the polyamory flag.
