This game has some serious potential. An annoying thing was the music, it will loop with a large gap of silence after each one. The whole layout makes as much sense as you would think (obviously), but the overall coolness meter is 10/10
Great work! Gameplay mechanics are a bit of a dysphoria simulator, but at least it reflects the theme (don't believe a word, I am not a gamer). But honestly, great idea. Love it! Will definitely come back to figure out how it works
The room with the pronoun doors was the most helpful by far. It strengthened me in my choice of pronouns and that she/her are definitely the right ones for me.
Im gonna be honest I've never understood why gender matter so much i feel like my gender identity is 'me' thats it not cis trans or anything else. I still dont understand the emotions behind it but I now understand what they mean so thats nice.
Thanks, it really helped me what all the things mean. and it helped me confirm what I am. but sadly this game doesn´t help with my not accepting parents
Really would have been nice to know there was VERY LOUD narration that starts out with "HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY GENDER IS", when I decided to play it on speakers in my family room :)
I was born with an working testicle and an working overy.
Approx 20% of humans are born the same way, the humam body plan does not allow such persons to be reproductive in both male and female capacities however closely related animals do, and humans can be born looking like they are female, then turn into males during puberty. It is likely the oppisite is possible as well, however retracted testicles are painful and cause complicstions so Dr's halt the process.
So what sex am I? What sex are these people whom are born girls and naturally turn into boys during puberty?
Gender, is how sex interacts with socity, in a strict scientific rational raw state of nature biological reality; there are no genders.
None, notta one. If you where born on an empty desert island you would never grow up to be any gender at all.
They are again our biological reaction to social pressures. Not biological.
FYI, 20% of males do not have a Y chromosone. It used to be assumed that 17% of males lost thier Y chromosone, but now we know that 100% of Y chromosones are.. Blank. Empty. Nodda thing on them. Its all carried in the X. The mappining was finsihed and confirmed this year (2024).
This game feels like I'm reliving my self-discovery journey - learning about the terms, the pronouns, the community... Seeing myself trapped between two doors only to find out that, in the end, there was always a choice for me.
Even if people try to shut it out, hide, lie, and oppress it, none of that could make me change my mind about my true identity. None of that could erase the joy I felt in finding a community in which I finally fit.
This game is not only a great educational tool for those who are not familiar with all of these "new" terms and gender identities, but it's also a portrait of the beautiful experience of self-discovery. Thanks so much for this, I love you and I hope you're okay.
wake up to reality you delusional twat, dont blind yourself in this idiocy. there are only 2 genders and reality wont change just because you wish for there to be more.
wow, this was just wow! it was so calming, the music set a unique mood and feeling that made it weirdly emotional for me. walking through all of it was just something else. I felt like for a moment I was in these worlds. And their was so much information that I didn't know! Just an incredible experience thats so replay-able. I love that there is also more links given in the learn more option that can start players on their own research adventure, it truly is a wonderful rabbit hole once you start putting effort into the learning. The pronouns area was so perfect too, loved it and went back to it for a little bit before exiting. I also love that this helps to even slightly show how gender, sex and sexuality isn't a new, trendy or western thing like many people think for some reason. Truly an incredible and fun game!
We spawn and despawn rooms out of the players view based on their position in relation to the room they are currently in and use portals that we project render textures onto in order to achieve some of the other effects.
In the queer tunnel the whole world truly turns around the tunnel axis thought =)
good game finaly understood what all the names mean but i think there should be gender (male or female) and something else that will include all of those
Well there is Sex, which is 90% Binary (Except for intersex, but that is a small outlier), and cannot be totally changed, and then there is Gender Identity, which is much more fluid and may change over time as people discover themselves more.
It's indeed very important to understand and internalize the difference between biological sex and biological gender, and the many different ways your body expresses different forms of this "male v. female" binary (or something outside of the binary), and how these many poorly-organized biological mechanisms can sometimes very strongly disagree. Biology is so very messy, and English's blending of all possible male-female concepts (and, of course, the stuff in-between) into two simple worlds helps not at all.
Sending love to all our queer friends out there, just trying to figure out what they even are. In general, don't worry too much about it, do what makes you feel right.
i will say, one part that i did very much like was the ending; since blue being for men and pink for women (even if you don't agree with stuff like transgender ideals and etc) is a rather outdated idea that has become meaningless (unless its on a flag for some reason lol)
There is a comfort in going through this game, walking through each stage and what each word means, that you can't get anywhere else. getting to hear each pronoun is special in a way that's hard to describe. I appreciate what this game provides for a community that may be new to who they are, or looking to find understanding and solidarity in how they identify.

Great game I like it!!
This is so cool. I love the end where you turn around and there are so many doors <3
Is there a masc room? I only saw a fem room.
This game has some serious potential. An annoying thing was the music, it will loop with a large gap of silence after each one. The whole layout makes as much sense as you would think (obviously), but the overall coolness meter is 10/10
hell yeah. gender/10
Great work! Gameplay mechanics are a bit of a dysphoria simulator, but at least it reflects the theme (don't believe a word, I am not a gamer).
But honestly, great idea. Love it! Will definitely come back to figure out how it works
This game is amazing, i really like the pronoun room it was a nice way to try out some new pronouns.
The room with the pronoun doors was the most helpful by far. It strengthened me in my choice of pronouns and that she/her are definitely the right ones for me.
Im gonna be honest I've never understood why gender matter so much i feel like my gender identity is 'me' thats it not cis trans or anything else. I still dont understand the emotions behind it but I now understand what they mean so thats nice.
somethn about the way "a person walks through the door" felt the most correct
like i consider myself cis just with a really weird relationship with pronouns but dayum hearing that just felt... clean? idk how to describe it
this was cool
Thanks, it really helped me what all the things mean. and it helped me confirm what I am. but sadly this game doesn´t help with my not accepting parents
kinda reminds me of antichamber
Really would have been nice to know there was VERY LOUD narration that starts out with "HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY GENDER IS", when I decided to play it on speakers in my family room :)
cool 😎
this game is so far left
ok
obviously. only leftists care about equal rights for all humans
wtf is wrong with the controls
agreed
soooo beautiful! I really like the idea for euphoria/dysphoria room. so creative! thanks <3
It is cool but when I was reading I could barely find the way out and I almost threw up, but its still pretty cool.
there are only 2 genders
Sorry to say, but even if you mean to say there are only two biological genders that would still be wrong. People can be born intersex
no there are 2 genders
Dude, google "Hermaphrodite"
there are no human hermaphrodites
that would be incorrect
yeah, there may be two genders, in your opinion, but respect that others have their own too.. dude.
If you post that in this games comments you are asking for trouble
there are 2 genders only
But apparently only one comment from you
no, there are not
theres only one gender and its
mine
you can't have it
there's 2 genders idiot
mom said its my turn on the gender
And I'm neither
I was born with an working testicle and an working overy.

So... Not so binary is it?

wake up to reality you delusional twat, dont blind yourself in this idiocy. there are only 2 genders and reality wont change just because you wish for there to be more.
everytime people say stuff like this, another gender is created
i have collected 10^298 genders so far
gaining more everyday slay girlies
ur just proving his point ur delusional
it turns out I'm a piece of shit!
Thanks.
this is really something. ♥
Such a lovely game!
This was brillant
You know what I learned about this game?
NO GENDER!!! ONLY RAGE!!! (And Love with a side of moral support) <3
Good game 10/10

There is no boy gender / the man / manly man man
very cool with the non euclidean feeling, is it truly non euclidean or just made to feel like that?
Well there is some trickery.
We spawn and despawn rooms out of the players view based on their position in relation to the room they are currently in and use portals that we project render textures onto in order to achieve some of the other effects.

hard to control don’t like the game
ok???
This was 1 year old stop sending me hate this has 7 dislikes
mb sorry
happy tears, so beautifully done
But- but i didn't get to answer the question...
oh my god the pronoun doors gave me chills,, thank you so much for making this!
i will say, one part that i did very much like was the ending; since blue being for men and pink for women (even if you don't agree with stuff like transgender ideals and etc) is a rather outdated idea that has become meaningless (unless its on a flag for some reason lol)
I love it

This game goes hard
Love it.
