It's so rare to play games where one really feels seen, but this really made me feel that and it brought me to tears as it often does. I really liked this experience and the level design was fun and I enjoyed exploring the space. Super nice job. Thank you for this <3
This was a very enlightening piece. As a bisexual who was raised in a family that had negative feelings toward the LGBTQ+ community, I feel like this was a helpful step in understanding myself and others. :) Thanks!
Somehow inverting the camera for the mouse didn't work, so it was exhausting to play. I like the whole setting and I would certainly have invested a bit more time if the controls had been right. In addition, I often get lost in games, so a little (activatable) help might be handy. All in all, I like it a lot.
this was so lovely! noneuclidian spaces are a really clever way to explore how expansive and complex gender can be, and i also liked how you included information about each respective term. i also really liked the pronoun room, it was really fun to try some new ones. great work! ^^
I love the somewhat non-euclidean exploration here, though I feel like there could be a lot more done with it. Also there is a fem room but no masc room, which feels wrong to me. Trans men tend to get ignored in media, and this game not having a masc room makes it feel like it's intentionally ignoring them. I'd have also loved a gnc room, or some room that talks about presentation as being separate from identity in a way that isn't drag since drag is sort of like an art form
thanks for the feedback. Your observation regarding the lack of a masc room do make a fair point. At the time we felt that leaving out some of the terms people would immediately think of would make it clear that the list of terms covered in the game are necessarily incomplete. It is not intended to delegitimize trans men.
Is there any way a translation to spanish could be done?, I would be interesting in providing one! (that's my native language), I also have coding skills if it helps

the game really shows how gender doesnt have to be what you dont want it to, it shows lots of emphasis on what **you** as someone, whoever you may be, are welcome to feel comfortable in whoever you are, and this game made me really happy, too <3 keep going guys, your gonna do amazing things
this game is cute, I love how maze-like it was, like the protagonist is stuck in endless cycles trying to find their gender, with the answer being so close, yet somehow out of reach. The only thing that made me not quite as immersed was that the game ran kinda shitty in some parts, but that's cause I've got a less powerful device so...
i noticed that once you walk into the first room with the pink and blue doors, the back wall will close in on you as you walk to the doors so the room becomes much smaller than it used to be. very nice little detail! i enjoyed it!
thought so too, but I don't have any controller plugged in. 🤔
Anyone an Idea what else it could be? (had another game, where it always pulled left, so it must be something with my settings, but I don't know what and how to fix it) 😓
This game has some serious potential. An annoying thing was the music, it will loop with a large gap of silence after each one. The whole layout makes as much sense as you would think (obviously), but the overall coolness meter is 10/10
Great work! Gameplay mechanics are a bit of a dysphoria simulator, but at least it reflects the theme (don't believe a word, I am not a gamer). But honestly, great idea. Love it! Will definitely come back to figure out how it works
The room with the pronoun doors was the most helpful by far. It strengthened me in my choice of pronouns and that she/her are definitely the right ones for me.
Im gonna be honest I've never understood why gender matter so much i feel like my gender identity is 'me' thats it not cis trans or anything else. I still dont understand the emotions behind it but I now understand what they mean so thats nice.
Thanks, it really helped me what all the things mean. and it helped me confirm what I am. but sadly this game doesn´t help with my not accepting parents
Really would have been nice to know there was VERY LOUD narration that starts out with "HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY GENDER IS", when I decided to play it on speakers in my family room :)

Thanks for headsup regarding the inverted controls. I will look into what causes that and try and include a fix in the next patch =)

Hey yeasstt,

Where is it though
DISCLAIMER: I still support other genders, I am just personally not one of them
the game really shows how gender doesnt have to be what you dont want it to, it shows lots of emphasis on what **you** as someone, whoever you may be, are welcome to feel comfortable in whoever you are, and this game made me really happy, too <3 keep going guys, your gonna do amazing things

I'm glad that this game is still getting good ratings and reviews despite the ignorance of some people in the comments.
❤️
omg i love the end!
i noticed that once you walk into the first room with the pink and blue doors, the back wall will close in on you as you walk to the doors so the room becomes much smaller than it used to be. very nice little detail! i enjoyed it!
My genda? I'm a mekanik
really love it, but some how my vision is always pulled right
stick drift
thought so too, but I don't have any controller plugged in. 🤔

I honestly don't know lol
Sorry
I love it, though I couldn't get myself to walk through the "he" door, just too hard :')
Great game I like it!!
This is so cool. I love the end where you turn around and there are so many doors <3
Is there a masc room? I only saw a fem room.
This game has some serious potential. An annoying thing was the music, it will loop with a large gap of silence after each one. The whole layout makes as much sense as you would think (obviously), but the overall coolness meter is 10/10
hell yeah. gender/10
Great work! Gameplay mechanics are a bit of a dysphoria simulator, but at least it reflects the theme (don't believe a word, I am not a gamer).

This game is amazing, i really like the pronoun room it was a nice way to try out some new pronouns.
The room with the pronoun doors was the most helpful by far. It strengthened me in my choice of pronouns and that she/her are definitely the right ones for me.
Im gonna be honest I've never understood why gender matter so much i feel like my gender identity is 'me' thats it not cis trans or anything else. I still dont understand the emotions behind it but I now understand what they mean so thats nice.
somethn about the way "a person walks through the door" felt the most correct
like i consider myself cis just with a really weird relationship with pronouns but dayum hearing that just felt... clean? idk how to describe it
this was cool
Thanks, it really helped me what all the things mean. and it helped me confirm what I am. but sadly this game doesn´t help with my not accepting parents
kinda reminds me of antichamber
Really would have been nice to know there was VERY LOUD narration that starts out with "HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY GENDER IS", when I decided to play it on speakers in my family room :)
cool 😎
this game is so far left
ok
obviously. only leftists care about equal rights for all humans
wtf is wrong with the controls
agreed
soooo beautiful! I really like the idea for euphoria/dysphoria room. so creative! thanks <3
It is cool but when I was reading I could barely find the way out and I almost threw up, but its still pretty cool.
