silversPuppet rated Her Age, My Sex, Your location

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

No clue if you want to here brutally honest feedback, but that is what you will get from me:
Whatever happens inside your head I would recommend keeping it that way since the initial idea for this game might have been the best thing I have accidentally stumbled over ever.
I think all of us are aware that this speaks to a very specific kind of crowd. The ffxiv addicted trans woman — looking desperately for representative media — kinda crowd. 
I can definetly see the nadianova inspiration and I think you use that to your advantage. The visuals are leagues above most other VNs I have played which I find astonishing for this being made in a game jam and I am not just saying this because I am kind of envious of those modelling and drawing skills. The music only amplifies the high sense of quality this work gives me. If you allow me a bit of nitpicking on a free game made in a short time span I think the game would have hugely profited from employing a different UI style rather than the Renpy default and the use of more specific sfx — especially the MMO parts since those felt a bit empty at some parts.

So with the surface level stuff out of the way I can finally gush about the novel part of your VisualNovel: Against common advice I will start with my dislikes. In my opinion to foreshadowing comes on far to strong and far to early. Some lines feel like the character saying "I am trans — wait why did I say that" and Dee also beats you over the head with so much disphoria and gender stuff in such a short amount of time I would have expected a trans flag in their dorm room.  A more subtle introduction might have left the readers in more suspens and create maybe even a sense of worry as to the resolution of the direction of the story. I don't know whether that was your intention, especially since the TOXIC YURI VN JAM kind of spoils the fun in that regard but that was my experience. 
Nevertheless your writing felt so relievingly fresh. All your characters have a unique voice without having to rely on absurd ways of speaking. I especially enjoyed the contrast between offline and online language between the two leads. Secondly I can not thank you enough for making use of the medium you created this work in! So many of the greatest VN authors craft souley linear narratives which isn't inherently bad, but I sometimes feel like they don't make use of the unique medium they work in (At that point why not just write a "normal" novel?).  Also this might be the best use of comedy in any piece of writing period. No clue what was intentional but I loved every second of it. 
That's it with my review. I will be keeping an eye on you I guess? (Yes this is a threat) So I will add another creator to the pile of inspiration I have already.

 PS: I am so sorry for starting* your programming journey with Renpy their documentation is not the best in the world
