A wholly frustrating experience that left me feeling angry and defeated. 10/10 would yell again. Everything in its design felt so intentional.
A powerful experience that’s hard to get through both from a gameplay standpoint and a narrative one. But also an opportunity to learn about what others are going through.
Thank you for helping people like me understand just a little bit more.
I know some people have been having trouble getting this game to run so I wanted to share the experience here. hopefully its okay to put this here!
i'm gonna have to watch the video and reply to all of those amazing comments and this later but for now i just wanna say *oh my god of course it's okay*
video comments are so fucking powerful, you've literally bumped our total downloads by over 10% lol, about 150 over the last 4 days. everyone on itch will always love you for that.
Woah! That’s awesome! I had no idea this video would would do all that! I was actually afraid to post the video at all, but I’m so glad I did. Thank you.
unfortunately, it seems as though another game about being trans that i wanted to play isnt compatible with wine on chromebook. wish i could play it but, it doesnt negate how good i think the game is.
my little promise at least is now i know about chromeOS and can see if i can factor that in next time <3
what i'm (cailin) am working on next is very much meant to be browser-playable, and if not will definitely make sure there's a lot more than just a windows build.
alright, i was gonna use wine cause there was no deb/linux download but it wasnt compatible. i also get how difficult it can be to make a game in html, css and javascript. so far ive only been able to make a clickergame it the web languages, but its nice that you are at least trying to make it browser compatible!
Hi, I've tried to play but it doesn't seem to work. I've got a "fatal error" message and a notification to say the program crashed. How can I do?^^"
Hey there, really sorry but I don't know what the issue might be, and it's too late for me to be able to offer any fix. Just as the nature that is was a scrappy project and it'd be a lot of set up to start looking for how to solve it. Sorry.
no worry, just a little sad, it seem cool
i am so sorry that you got a transphobic reply and i am here to remind you that those idiots are filled with hate, for people they dont even know. dont listen to "nathaniel higgleton". they dont deserve your recognition of their existence. you are amazing and i hope you have a great day <3
just cleaning it up now, lmao what a bitch making an account to spam all those comments.
i love that "[cis] men are utterly repulsed by you" cos it's like *sweetie*, that's the idea lol.
i want cis men to be repulsed by me -a transfem aroace lesbian.
i was ending pretty much every reply to them with "<3" just cause why not.
at this point, we are pretty transphobia-resilient, even i am, and i havent dealt with that many transphobes despite how much o join in on political debates and only knowing im transfem for a few months
