Thoughty by Beau Jágr Sheldon rated Bro, is it Gay to Dock?

A downloadable game.

I reviewed this further at http://briebeau.com/thoughty/33in28-week-1-reviews/

An excerpt from my review where I built characters:

Ah that was really awesome! I’m a little in love with The Legend already, imagining those gorgeous green eyes pulling me into the depths. I love how deeply rich the character creation is allowed to be, but also how simple you can keep it to allow for it to expand over time. The lack of a specific time also leaves a lot of flexibility.

The mechanics for shooting, flirting, etc. are all very simple – you’re encouraged to “roll the bones! Or two six-sided dice, I guess…” – and add or subtract to the roll based on situational factors and resources. An 8 or higher is a success, below  you don’t get what you wanted or how you wanted it, or both. Very simple, and it includes an option to fail a roll to get an intimate moment with The Legend, which is the best impetus for failing forward I’ve ever seen. *heart eyes*

I honestly think that this game could be played fully solo if you wanted to, just being creative, and embracing drama and failure and success. I played through it a bit myself just solo, and it was really fun and exciting! I do recommend trying it out as recommended with your chosen safety tool or taking it for a solo spin and playing through scenes yourself.
