You can be cis. What we tried to convey with the game is that identity is more complex than a simple binary and that people shouldn't have to pretend to be cis, if they arn't.
i really enjoyed the maze-like and puzzle style of this game! i also liked how each term was explained! the ending was really neat and i loved the pronoun doors!! this game was on the shorter side but amazing
So interesting, with the little details in the design choices made to represent certain concepts, that are a really nice touch that make a big difference; and I must say that she walked through the door a couple too many times considering the confusion in the begining of the game, if you get what I mean lol.
i just made an itchio account just to comment this
but thank you for making this. so much. ive been in a rough place recently and just the wonder of this little game you made broke down all my walls and made me feel seen for the first time in a while, i hate to admit but i cried. i appreciate this game so much. thank you <3
at first i panicked at the two doors and tried to exit again but the I saw the button and it made me so fricking happy! it was also amazing that to be trans you had to ignore the directions put there for you and the pronoun doors made me so euphoric and all the analogies were so cool aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
i don't think any words i could write would be sufficient to describe the happiness this game has given me. going through the pronoun doors at the end brought me close to tears
I loved loved loved the game and going through all the pronoun doors to find which one gave me most joy, expecting it to be they, but was surprised that most of the neo pronouns made me genuinely squeal.
the only negative thing i can say is not even negative! WHAT IS THE ??? IS THAT JUST THE LOOP OR AM I DUMB??
but no, seriously, this is such a cool idea and i think something similar to this for sexuality or neurodivergency/mental health would be awesome to. it really reintroduces you to the most common terms and i could honestly see it helping someone understand themself or the gender spectrum in general.
Yeah, the fact that it's not about sexuality occurred to me just before I logged on just now. My bad.
I still don't understand the map room having a hall that leads to itself, though.
I was able to find all the rooms but one. When I tried to follow the map to the one unlabeled room, It's just a hallway that takes you back to the map room. It has to be an analogy for something, but understanding symbolism has never been my strongsuit.
so ur saying that u can identify as anything? even if ur male or female? u can just decline the reality and live in a fantazy where you are coo/dragon? instead of normal male or female?
I think before we start delving deeper into notions of social science, anthropology, psychology, and anatomy, you should first learn how to write and read. I feel like it'd help a lot with both reading comprehension AND empathy towards others.
TLTR: You're not ready to understand this game, much less have a chat about gender and sex. Reduce yourself to your insignificance.
People can be born with wrong parts, both parts, wrong hormones. That's scientific fact. Is it not possible that the brain in early development, in the womb assigns a gender, only for the body to just get it wrong for one reason or another?
the ending was genuinely phenomenal. when i started the game, i saw the two doors. im neither. i turned around, but it seemed i had to make a choice. i hesitated, and checked behind again. there was a button.
at the end, after discovering nearly everything and going to the exit, the doors reappeared. i thought it mightve restarted, but i turned around and... i had a choice. i could be who i wanted to be, finally, i wasnt forced to check male or female boxes, i could just be me. that hit harder than my whole discovery journey.

Aww, no it pronouns or genderqueer room.
this is the first thing that made me realize why, i cant put my gender into words very well; i dont know any more than the person asking
any words i use feel wrong
Thank you for making this. From the bottom of my heart.
This is a really cool game !! But oh my GOD is the web version laggy
it worked fine for me :/
10/10 wow. just wow.
i found this in flashpoint and i really enjoyed my stay! :)
It's pretty cool as a visual exploration of gender as a concept. The Hall of Pronouns was unironically quite cool.
Está guapillo
Antichamber is trans now. Good for her
this game is very Gender /pos
Why can I not be cis? I'm unable to reach my true identity, it's not fair.
You can be cis. What we tried to convey with the game is that identity is more complex than a simple binary and that people shouldn't have to pretend to be cis, if they arn't.
Ah, understood. I must have misinterpreted. Sorry if my comment came off as rude or disrespectful, I didn't mean it that way.
The design is sooooo cooool!!!
i don't like it.
why?

What a lovely game! :O

I liked this game as a short little experience. It was pretty informative

For as limited as the game is, this is amazing. I wish I had a tool like this as a kid. This game makes me feel seen. Thank you for making this.
My brain hurts....

I would like one on orientations as well!
what neo pronoun did you squeal to and then settle on?
i cant remember exactly which one it was, but there were several that i loved loved loved
I'm asexual, and I was kinda disappointed there wasn't an asexual room.
There's the one hall that leads from the map room to... the map room? Is that supposed to represent asexuality in some way?
If so, I don't get the analogy.
Interesting game, nonetheless.
it's about gender not sexuality, the map shows the locations of the areas, like euphoria, pronouns, etc.
Yeah, the fact that it's not about sexuality occurred to me just before I logged on just now. My bad.

the 1st one has different paths and one has the exit room and one does not :)
Oh. Guess I didn't catch that. Thanks!
Me trying to figure out which door to go through first
Awesome educational game, 10/10
gorgeous game, well done!
I loved this so much, it's so inspiring. thanks!!
I was really happy when I walked through the door and it said "he walks through the door" I literally started crying I love this game<3
This reminds me aa lot of Manifold Garden
I like it a lot
you know that ur dna says that either you are male or female and you can do nothing about it?
biological sex and gender identity are not the same
so ur saying that u can identify as anything? even if ur male or female? u can just decline the reality and live in a fantazy where you are coo/dragon? instead of normal male or female?
yep!! :3
fantasy*

fun fact! Intersex people exist.
People can be born with wrong parts, both parts, wrong hormones. That's scientific fact. Is it not possible that the brain in early development, in the womb assigns a gender, only for the body to just get it wrong for one reason or another?
why is cis a loop help i'm stuck
the ending was genuinely phenomenal. when i started the game, i saw the two doors. im neither. i turned around, but it seemed i had to make a choice. i hesitated, and checked behind again. there was a button.

is a good game lol but when the pronoun doors came, going through the he one was so affirming
This game is just pure bliss. It's so informational yet satisfying and it's amazing
