I just got super hooked the second I began playing. The game is so cute! I love cute and creepy mix! I want to squish Fio's cheeks and make him a nice meal and keep him safe </3. I want to see Crow and Fio happy... My first ending was the first one, followed by the 7th ending...and I got a ''priorities'' achievement haha. I jumped a few times lol. I'll purchase it for extra content because I really like the art style and the cute colors and because I'm really curious about the extra endings and additional comics. I didn't even read the tags of this game fully and completely glazed over the '' transgender '' tag. I thought to myself '' what?? where-- did I miss something--'' and then noticed (( SPOILER?)) when Crow looks at himself in the mirror, you can see a binder peeking under his t-shirt. Don't sleep with your binder on btw, it will screw up your ribs and skin elasticity, making it difficult for possible future top surgery. That and also Icarus's/Sofia's sex is Intersex. As a trans guy, I appreciate this kind of rep, I personally hate when representation is shoved/forced onto you like in most media nowadays. This was so simple and subtle and not down your throat I didn't even notice until I re-loaded a save and looked around for clues. I'd love to see more work from you, Hatoge! This game is really great and I hope that you will release more awesome titles like this one in the future! :)
Merry late Christmas and a Happy New Year! <3
Thanks! I wanted to keep the representation subtle because I felt that the game had enough other focuses as is. And while I do think that subtle representation is important as well, I respectfully disagree that most trans representation is 'shoved down our throats'. It was the overbearing kind of representation that made me feel less alone before coming out, and I do hope to make other people feel that way someday :) Although if we get to a point as a society where we don't need that kind of representation anymore, I'd be happy with that as well!
I currently have two projects in development which get regularly teased on my twitter @HatogeGames, and there are 2 other games you can already play of me that I published before Sofia? if you'd like to see more of my work :) Either way, thanks for your support and a happy new year!
