This game is so amazing to me because it shows of what could be if i had control when and how i came out. I'm just gonna say this that nobody and i mean nobody should pressure you to come out and you have the decision when to do it that is comfortable for you(obviously there are some people who are scared and maybe becomes to having internalized homophobia but that's a different discussion) 

My coming out story was definitely something that should be avoided but unfortunately the adults that were involved were idiots and insensitive. So In High school I was still having the in the closet phase but i already knew i liked boys ever since Elementary. I had this one friend who i told i had a dream about the guy that we were kissing and then obviously high school drama she told it to my crushes best friend and he told my crush and this whole thing happened he started to avoid me and when we do interact he was rude and eventually i resulted into i like him while also hating him and i vandalized my chair out of spite saying "I hate (Crush name)" So obviously my teacher saw this and immediately went to the principal and thus i was suspended so i understood i was suspended because of vandalizing but what i don't understand is why do they need to fucking explain the reason to my parents why i wrote that(by this point everyone already knew that i had a crush on this guy even the teachers and principal knew because why not, the students in my school were literally a gossip blog waiting to happen) so they did that i didn't really had any choice and they told my parents basically i was gay and like this whole thing happened with my parents which made me so uncomfortable not only because i wasn't the one to say to come out but also my parent were extremely religious and this whole bullshit conversation about how its hard being the way i am(yeah no shit but so is life so literally no difference) and my uncle was the same thing i was and he resulted to becoming paralyzed and then died because of stress(yeah uh can't you tell were different people and if he died because of stress then can't you tell you are doing the same thing?)


So tl:dr YOU AND ONLY YOU SHOULD HAVE THE POWER TO COME OUT ON YOUR OWN AND SHOULD ONLY DO IT WHEN YOU ARE COMFORTABLE 

ps... AND ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FRIENDS THAT WILL SUPPORT YOU NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU NOT EVERY PARENT WILL, BLOOD MAY BE THICKER THAN WATER BUT BLOOD IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE AND WATER IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO SURVIVE AND LIVE

First, i want to say I'm sorry about your experience. I wish there was a way that we could all have control over things like this but sadly that isn't the case. Some people are malicious and others are far too aloof to realize the potential damage in accidently busting someone out.

The game is designed as you say. It's not the way to come out but it's depicting a way to slowly come out. It's also designed to help connect the dots between things that don't make sense or ways that people can perpetuate their own homophobia internally and shows potential ways to mitigate that--to slowly work towards your own level of acceptance or understanding of that. This will not be everyone's story. A lot of Zack's connections and philosophical rants are my own and how I connected the dots. I write it to reinforce it in myself and I write it in the hopes that it will help others that have struggled with their own fight of acceptance. I do wish you the best in your journey. I can't promise you that your own journey with be without obstacles; but I will say that mine has and is getting better and for that reason alone, I'm optimistic for you <3
