2015 IGF FINALIST for EXCELLENCY IN NARRATIVE


You play as a semi-fictional version of me, on a night that changed my life forever. Choose your (my?) words wisely. Every character will remember everything you say -- or don't say -- as you figure out how to approach my (your?) hyper-conservative Asian parents. And if all that seems confusing or awkward... well, that's the gist of coming out as queer, isn't it?

If there's a hole there's a goal, know what I'm sayin?

huh ... so yah I played it in 2023 and then played it again (now) after 2 year of a friendship
years back I used to have only ONE friend and no one else not even my family but now I just feel isolated

first I started self-discovery I came out bisexual to my friend tho he didn't say anything I thought he was an 'ally' and he has no problem with me being queer or any other person although he was bit righteous we sharing the same mind, being you is illegal

later asexual, still feel unconformable, being you is still illegal, feeling need someone to support me but I fear to tell him again still hurts me but I stood on my foot

later my sense on my gender (non-binary), still gaslighting myself, still feel unconformable, I couldn't focus so I failed the baccalaureate, I keep masking so they won't notice, online is my 'safe place', but slurs drain my brain, I had no choice only to seek the only friend of mine... which the first thing I heard from him
"do I care?, stop being insecure"
and he keeps misgender me and he "just being tolerance" ....
I really couldn't say a thing than getting back the game again and saw what my future look like when I played the game for the first time... it's all the same pain I've been suffering from, what I learn is this, no matter if I lied to myself or being honest to myself... it's always them

It's like time traveling a little bit, It's crazy the progress (And also lack of progress) that's been made regarding gay education and shit

I really do hope it does get better.

beautiful, i wish it was longer though!
