He Fucked the Girl Out of Me.

Clicked for the odd title. Stayed for the absolute raw story-telling. This felt so real there's no way it was made up. I hope life and yourself treats you much better these days.

i don't know when the last time i felt this empty after playing a game was. it was a beautiful experience that i think will change the way i approach people forever.

i only wish i understood the scene with the cat guy/crush....... i've played through it a few times with different options but i cant seem to understand what happens..? 

if anyone else can interpret that scene for me it would be REALLY appreciated !!! 

the pixel art is REALLY pretty in some scenes... i think my favorite was the 7/11...

i don't think i'll ever forget this game.

such compelling and raw way to explain your experiences. This goes to show that you dont need anything fancy or spectacular in remarks of music or art to pull someone in. 

Heartbreaking and earnest. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. 

I think this changed me in a way I can't describe yet. I'm glad you're in a better place than you were before. I can only hope that it continues to stay that way. 

Struggling to come up with the right words to describe this experience. Very well crafted. It explored some very unfamiliar experiences. It explored some painfully familiar experiences. Some were both.

I learned a lot.

Thank you for making this. 

Before I play, can  you please give this game a less seizure-tastic thumbnail?

I'm glad I got the good ending first try. Not a lot of media can make me feel uncomfortable, but god reading those messages on the sugar website disturbed me. I hope the good ending is the real life ending too because I have lots of respect for anyone who can say such personal, traumatic things to a wide audience for the sake of spreading their story.

Thank you for making this game, I learned a lot

I opened Itch accidentally while trying to get to another site and i saw your game. At first, i was wondering what choices you would have made, then i asked myself, is this what the author wants?

I was uncomfortable, wearing your shoes, feeling only the tiniest molecule of the real feelings you felt. Your words are still stuck in my head (in a good way), trauma doesn't feel like anything, healing doesn't either. There's no dramatic music or fanfare, it simply feels like living, with all the baggage that it comes with.

Without even realizing, we later start feeling the pain/joy that comes with trauma/healing while looking at the past and comparing our lives.

After so long after you released this game, i can only hope you're genuinely fine and if you aren't, i hope life gets better for you, genuinely, from the deepest part of my heart, i wish you well.

wishing you the best as much as it means from some stranger. 

Thank you for sharing this.  Despite our differences in background, I find myself relating to your trauma and, to a certain extent, the ones who traumatized you.  I think this was a perfect invitation for some self-reflection.  I'm going to go do that now.  Thank you, stranger.

I clicked play not knowing what it is. I played it till the end.

It might not be obvious, but to have someone being open like you did in this game - is catastrophically rare. I feel like I've been allowed to know something so private and gentle, that it almost felt wrong. But it's not. 

It is so much to think about. Thank you for opening more of the world we are living in. I even think you changed me, I don't know yet how but in a good way. 

If you would like, I can give virtual hugs?

If not, that's ok!!

Thank you for sharing your stoy<3

You are strong

You are brave

You are loved

You are not broken<3

an experience unlike anything I've come across on this site. thank you for making this

I love this game cus all of the things that happened in here happened all to me exact same scenario when i was around 13. I have cried for hours playing this game cus it bringed up my past trauma of my rape and grooming and all that. 

It is always difficult to live, when your inner world can't fit the reality. In most of the cases pursuing the goal to transform the reality into something more appropriate for you is completely pointless. It always causing the loss of resources, time and sometimes even yourself. And even reveal own emotions and thoughts to someone causes only pain as circumstances, eventually people just start using it against you to hurt you more.

 We all in the same boat kind of. And nobody know what to do with all that. It is sad.

i came upon this 'game' on a whim, not knowing what it was. im glad i clicked it, and had an insight into what some peoples lives are like. my cousin recently told me they got trafficked, and this helped me understand their pain and what they went through. i hope and pray, that one day people like you can be honest and open about what you went through, and that people no longer have to be forced to do things like this to survive, and the people who do this stuff to you are punished. you are loved, and i will pray every night that one day you can be happy, and that you continue to fight through this.

I have a lot of similar yet different experiences. I hope making this game has helped you some. As a piece of art it is so visually interesting and gets it's themes across well.

This is so wonderfully done ! I got the good ending and it was beautiful. I appreciated this playthrough so much as som1 who is also trans, and has been in survival sexwork since highschool. It truuly is an isolating experience. There are many ways to describe & portray what it's like n none are enough to make up for how it really feels. It changes & disfigures yu in such unexpected ways. The title of this alone is so gutwrenching & I can truly see how personal this is to you even with so much information left out. The parts spoken about how transactions feel from the perspective of a traumatized sexworker was something that had me nodding in agreement . . . The points made about all the stigma, fetishization, etc were all so important to bring to light. . .

It is unfathomably difficult for us to speak on these topics, or to create / digest media on these topics, due to societal views & the mental labor of it all. You made this despite it all, you shared your story & have given a voice to so many who relate. You have reached many who may have been previously uneducated on the topic. You are fighting against the stigma and creating room for more passion, empathy, and awareness where it is needed. You are creating a space where you are so importantly seen and heard !

Thank you so much for sharing your story (♡μ_μ) !

thank you for making this game, its very moving. i hope the best for you and i extend all of my love

found this for a gbc hack i am excited to play

thank you for putting this out, words fail me but this was very moving

Trauma is too simple a word. Heart-wrenching.

Taylor, I want to thank you for putting out this game. You are so, so strong for being able to do something like tell the world about your trauma. Your story is one I can't say I've encountered before. HFTGOOM is beautifully done.

I hope you can live any way you wish to from now on, and know that you are absolutely worthy of love- but you do not owe it to anybody.

Sorry if my phrasing sounds off, I'm not good with big words but I felt they were necessary here. 

You are such a wonderful human being. Even if I have never met you and most likely never will, I can just tell. 🫶

:) 

TL;DR You're very strong. I enjoyed playing your game, and I'm proud of you for being able to share this. Thanks, Taylor. 🩷

anybody knows where I can buy the physical copy (cartridge)?

The world is a better place with this game in it. I'm glad I played through it. I'll probably play through it a couple more times to see all the different options. It's very well written.

This game was really perceptive. I've been traumatized though not as badly as you. This opened up my eyes and made me look into a world separate from mine. Some of this I can find relatable, though in my own way. Thank you for making this game. Truly. I hope you live a better life now.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I can't say I understand your struggles, I'm not trans, I haven't had sex before. Figuring out what I'm comfortable with and talking to other people about it has been and will be a struggle for me. But the way you describe certain feelings and memories hit incredibly close to my heart and describe how I feel about a lot of challenges I've faced in regards to my own sexuality and understanding of myself.

Thank you for making me think about perspectives like yours. Going through this game has made me think in ways I've never thought, and reconsider things I've seen online in a completely new light. I think playing this game has already changed my mindset for the better. Again, thank you so much.

For anyone reading this, if you struggle with your sexuality, your body or understanding yourself, you aren't alone. You may never be completely alright, but with every day and every happy experience you have, I think you prove that those struggles are worth it.

I made an account just to comment, because I wanted you to know, that this moved me. I have to admit, that I'm somewhat ignorant about the pain that trans people feel, but as someone who has experienced depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and has spent years trying to be a better person, I know that the pain we feel is universal, but so to, the love we can feel is also universal. I went down a dark road using substances to hide my true emotions, only to realize the greatest joys can't be replaced with money, drugs or cheap thrills. 
Thank you for this game, and thank you for your bravery and inner strength to tell your story, as painful as a process as that must have been. Live long, and prosper!

this game makes me want to create and to think. thank you for this blessing in desguis

I'm crying while playing this game ngl😭😭

I don't have big words to share but thank you for sharing this game and your story. Brought me to tears how beautiful and real this is.

Beautifully done! It's horrible that these things are done to our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings. Developer, you deserve the world and more.Thank you for making this game <3.

Thank you for making this.

Thank you so much for making this. 

I'm not trans but I used to 'work' as an "escort" when I was younger, and while the circumstances are different, I could relate to many things in the game. I almost never seek out media about this type of sex work because I feel like I couldn't bear to see it represented from a client's point of view/in a way that feels exploitative, it just hits a little too close to home. So I honestly never thought I would find anything that would make me feel seen as much as this game when it comes to this experience. The first scene is pretty much what happened the last time I tried to tell someone about this. 

I could keep talking at length about all the things I could relate to, but that's not very interesting, so I'll just reiterate my thanks. Playing this game was painful because of my personal experience, but in a way that was still incredibly important to me, if that makes any sense.

Thank you for making this game
