This is the most intriguing and fun text game/story I've ever played, hands down. The way your MC can be transgender and how it's actually brought up in gameplay was so good I don't even have the words to praise it, same goes with their heritage/ethnicity. And I spent the entire game not realizing romance was an option and was just wistfully pining for Charlie the entire time; the joy I felt when I got to the part where you could actually start a romance with him was unmatched. I was over the freaking MOON.
I'm so excited for more of this story, thank you for sharing it and I am thoroughly hooked.
