This was beautiful and intensely relatable , and made me feel a lot better for not realizing that I was Bisexual until I was 20 years old, and another 5 years after that before I started considering I might be nonbinary. So many of the hand-waves and explanations you portrayed were almost word for word excuses I would make to myself, albeit with the genders swapped. Still to this day I deal with doubts and wondering if I'm really bi or if I'm just imagining it or subconsciously faking it or don't deserve to be able to use the label for a number of reasons. But I am. I internalized all these things about what I'm supposed to be and what being bi is supposed to be, but the reality is I just am, and it feels good to say it
Hey im in highschool right now and pretty sure im bisexual, I am still second guessing it, how can i be sure im attracted to women if im not even sure what attraction is supposed to feel like. I really don't no how to word this but this game felt relevant to my experiences or what ever. When i got to the end I started crying for a reason im not fully sure of. Thank You for makeing it.
I AM BISEXUAL!!! it feels so good to be able to say that now, after years of being told that i wasn't (and a few more years of believing that). so much love to you and all my fellow bi lovelies <3
Asian bisexuals unite! Thank you for helping me confirm my bi-ness because I too thought I haven't liked enough girls to be bi but then straight girls don't like any girls and I like a girl
This puta big dumb smile on my face more than once. and maybe an internal sigh or two at awkward feelings we all work through. Thank you for sharing your story with us!
"...except that's not how it works. Not for anyone, really. Almost every queer person you know once knew they were straight until they realized they weren't." This right here is so true, at least for me nd im so grateful u made this game. Thank u
As a bisexual person of color, thank you for making me feel seen. This game...it touched me, pretty emotionally. Like, it summed up all these fears I've had about calling myself bisexual and all these self doubts that I've never managed to express out loud. ( I also have a preference for masc presenting people so yeah, that screws with my head a lot) And don't get me started on how many people consider queerness as a whole to be "white people crap" which is just stupid on so many levels since pre-colonized countries have been historically known to embrace queerness-andddd I'm rambling now.
the game is quirky and fun but this is a prime example of show don't tell. almost everything is told to us. the game will go on about stuff such as "its a snowy day" or "you like D&D and astronomy" which beside being the two most basic interests ever is not shown well if at all. a good way to say "you like D&D" would be something like "you look at the cheap foldable table you and your friends meet up every friday at. dice and papers still stroon about from last night. you can't wait for next session. maybe you should start a second campaign on wednesdays." or talk about the astronomy decoration around her house or checking her horoscope.
the author show clear talent but has a long way to go and i will eagerly await her next work.

Thank you for making this! If only I could send it back in time to myself like 10-15 years ago!
