Gender Dysphoria

While the game is very short, it still tells a very interesting and emotional story. A lot of the things described in the game felt very close to me and even though it's just text (basically a visual novel), I still felt compelled by the story. Completely unrelated, but it's also a fun title to have in your library "Gender Dysphoria", lol.

I really don't have words for this game, or experience, rather. If you're transgender (MtF in any capacity) and happen to stumble upon this game, please play it. If you're cisgender or not MtF, please play it too. I don't often write serious reviews but this was one I couldn't avoid. This experience does an incredibly good job conveying some social interactions of what being a trans woman is like. Like, an INCREDIBLY good job. As someone who has shared the very moments portrayed by the game, I can't help but feel bitter-sweet. Bitter of how real each scenario is, how hard the reality of facing them in game and real life is, and just a reminder of how rough it all is. Sweet from feeling recognized, the immensely understood and accurate portrayals on the part of the dev, and a general outlet for these repressed feelings, yet ones I still face every day. The warnings to not play this depending on your current mental state were not for nothing, and the game's subjects hit like a truck e...

Short, but not expensive. Absolutely worth playing/finishing.
