This game made me cry like a goddamn bitch, fuck. There were a couple story beats that touched on a lot things I had personally experienced transitioning and the whole thing left me with a lot of dread. It was like gazing into a dark mirror and wondering if I'm destined follow down the same road. I fully recommend this game to any that can stomach it's themes. The rest I want to talk about is spoilers so play the rest of the game first.

Haley and Maya's relationship hit way too close to one I'm currently in. I wanted to leave it, but I am terrified she'll kill herself just like Haley did. Haley's death hit me incredibly hard and I actually felt incredible anger with how the body was treated. I've felt similarly inadequate and it hurts when people push away from you.
Argo and Venessa mirrored a lot of gay love that brought joy to my life transitioning. The manic obsession and grocery shopping together are fond memories in my head. I've even struggled similarly with being unable to say no and put down boundaries like with Argo and Noni.
Audrey is the unsung hero and she deserved her crash out mid story.
Thank you for this experience, it's a wonderful work of art.
