yeah you are missing something. this game exists in a genre of other queer intimacy games, and is not a joke. This isn't a tabletop game about an adventure, and you don't play a character. Think of it like emotional tag. I want people to play this game, discuss their issues, get some validation, and maybe smooch at the end.
As a game designer, by reading the "rules" I'm not even sure it can be considered a game in the first place tbh. When I asked if I was missing something is simply because it felt to me like it's some sort of joke, I was wondering if it was made seriously or not, not because I was confused about the concept. (Just in case and since the only negative comment I saw was removed, gay gnc man here so it's not phobia or anything)
