thank you so much for this deeply kind review! i am glad to hear it resonated with you on so many different levels <3 <3

this is the funniest roast omg

let's GO??

ET and Tavish are my buddies :)

this is fascinating!

That is SUPER useful to know, thank you!

hahah no worries at all. i've definitely been there before! excited to dig in

I've played this demo for *hours*. Really looking forward to the full release, and congrats!

hi! how can i download this? it doesn't appear on the page rn

Oh no! Can you describe what's happening? We haven't had reports of this before so whatever details you can provide will help us troubleshoot.

Hi! There are no pronoun options, as the main character is a specific character rather than a self-insert. I wrote a bit more about that here: https://itch.io/post/10240453 (as well as gave alt recommendations if you'd like to check those out!)

So cute! So cute! So cute! Look at that lil fool we love himmmm

I honestly don't know what that would entail! Do Chromebook games need to come from Google's app store? We're investigating bringing this game to the play store, so that may work for you. We will look into it and report back if we can make it happen!

Also, your whole email is in your username! I wanted to flag that for privacy's sake, just in case you weren't aware ^^

Oh you are so sweet!! Feel free to post to your social media of choice (or here even??) and link it to us, and I promise we will all start yelling about it in our dev discord <3 <3

Ah! Well thank you for checking it out anyway. It won't be for everyone, but I appreciate you taking the time to play it.

A friend sent me this review of the Wander Society. I especially enjoy the examples of how it reframes navigating real space.

Hi hi! The main character does not end up having the option to use pronouns other than she/hers in the duration of the game. She questions her gender in one route, but doesn't reach a conclusion where she changes her pronouns. I'm also linking this comment from earlier for a more detailed answer: https://itch.io/post/10240453

Thanks for checking out the game! Even if you don't end up playing it, I'm glad you're here.

congratulations on the publisher!

hello! thank you for the comment. this is not currently a planned feature. this is because this game's story relies on the main character identifying as a cis female when she arrives to the reunion. genuinely, myself and the rest of the dev team empathize with your dysphoria, but this game is trying to tell a specific story about a specific character, rather than a self-insert.

but! we wanted to pass a few recommendations along that may strike your fancy:

• Blood & Play - this is a T4T dating sim being developed by one of the devs on this team, and you play as a trans man character
• Lookouts - this one gave me some fun genderfeels when i played it. be a gay lil transmasc cowboy!
• Marcus Comes Out Online - not a dating sim or romance, but there's a lot of transmasc feels here

though this is a small selection, i hope you can find something that tugs your heartstrings here.

this is so sweet thank you TwT i'm very excited for you to be able to play Elias's route in the very near future!!

lil friendo

ah! you are entirely too sweet <3

what an absurd, delightful little creation. thank you!

This was a great little tasting!

This is surprisingly hard! Great work

this made me laugh so hard, great work

Really wonderful presentation for pretty straightforward mechanics. Great work!

this short article touches on that feeling i have, where the old internet isn't gone. it's been walled off. but walls can be broken down, or walked away from. the one niggle i have, the piece that feels absent in this is that you do have to actually go and do it - the walking away - which i have found is held in the imagination as an insurmountable step for many people that i talk to casually about this type of thing irl... food for thought. https://www.citationneeded.news/we-can-have-a-different-web/

an article about how spooky scary contemporary internet has become https://www.404media.co/facebooks-ai-spam-isnt-the-dead-internet-its-the-zombie-... (404 media is great in general)

thank you so very much for reading <3

aw beans! saw this just after midnight. see you in four years i guess >w<

'bumping' this one because i'm still thinking about that idea. we are what we make for one another.

hello again! if you enjoyed this manifesto - or this long thread of related recommendations - i cannot more highly recommend everest pipkin's Anonymous Animal: https://everestpipkin.itch.io/anonymous-animal

i finally serendipitously caught it. thank you for this. i hope you have a good day.

oh it's been AGES since i thought of this game! i used to play it over and over and over again on the library computers growing up

this is really fun! great work!

i would play this game on repeat in my local library when i was a kid. thank you for preserving it.

same here! it's been "loading" for ages with no luck actually getting it to run, unfortunately.

thanks so much gc!!

i really wanted to make a story that was aware of and concerned with the difficulties from being homeless, and how that would fit into a 'whodunnit' scenario. so often those stories are about rich people fighting over huge amounts of money, so there seems to be a gap when it comes to working class and poor folks (as protagonists) in the genre. i'm excited to finish it up!
