In fact, even though I was depressed, I ignored the warnings of this game to get out of this depression!(?) There were more things I could relate to than I thought, and I thought even more that there were precious people who gave me strength and looked at me for real! WOW~~ the game quality is higher than I thought~?
I'm an aspiring game concept artist who has had a gender dysphoria since I was in the upper grades of elementary school! I have precious friends who are always there for me, even though I haven't been able to tell them to my family yet. when I was in middle school, I said to my current best friend, "My identity is a woman. I feel like you are my friend, so I can't keep this a secret forever," I don't really remember what she answered, but she thanked me for thinking of as "true friend" and since then, she treats me like a same-sex (female) friend! I love you, my friends! and my VERY BEST FRIEND! And I support, all gender dysphoria people! Trust your faith!
im transmasc, and pre transition. this game made me a bit sad, but its very realistic. im so sorry youve had to experience these things. i hope youre doing better now, and have a wonderful day <3 the trans experience can be horrible at times, but at other times, joyous. keep going :)
beautifully well made game. Its always the little things that hurt the most. the not so subtle looks or the slip us that are a constant reminder of the past.
Incredibly well made - voice acting and standard of writing were really good. I'm nonbinary myself but a ton of these things resonated with me, I was cringing at some of the misgender moments...
It's a really important thing to raise awareness about so well done - I hope you're doing OK these days and keep up the excelent games <3
I'm on the other side of the transgender spectrum but my heart aches for all the transfems too :[
The game is great, it really made me feel like I was in Iris' shoes! I enjoyed the sound effects a lot and even worried that my speakers were damaged for a moment.
Every time I had the option to correct the pronouns, name or titles, I felt familiar dread and worry for Iris' safety.
I hope Iris got her happy "ending" (as happy as it can be nowadays), and is living a joyous life as a woman.
que jogo incrível, cada texto. cada linha era um facada, mesmo não sendo transfem e sim agereno, mas são coisas que infelizmente acontece. do mesmo jeito jogo incrível a dublagem também incrível
Do you know what hurt the most? "what did we do wrong? did I fail as a parent?" my mom says that-- all the time, over and over it hurts can't she see it hurts? I don't want to hurt her but I can't stop being trans(masc) it's who I am, I've tried fitting into the feminine life, wearing dresses and skirts, long hair and accessories until looking in the mirror made me dizzy
oh and trying to explain to them "Not she, him, I am a man" but I would never say that they would get mad and... awkward and weird... or act like I'm about to lash out or hurt them because of it
I love this game though, explains everything, even the hurtful stuff (sorry if this is trauma dumping? I don't know how trauma dumping works but)
i really enjoyed playing this game. it was honestly kind of comforting and made me feel less alone? (if that makes any sense) while I'm not transfem (I'm transmasc) it was still something I could relate to and it really did capture the awkwardness of not necessarily being "passing" enough to be called by your preferred pronouns without having to tell others and then trying to decide whether you want to correct them or not and have to deal with the awkwardness and looks that come with it. it's such a good game tho and I really did enjoy playing it!
Sorry, there is no transmasc version on account of the fact that at the time I made this game I only wanted to write about my personal experiences. Unfortunately, I did not and still do not feel like I could properly do a transmasc version.
Personally, I think of myself as transfem and nonbinary and the game draws from that experience, so that might be why the game doesn’t seem particularly conclusive about whether or not it is transfem.

obrigado por jogar e pelos seus comentários gentis
as someone who just came out as mtf trans close to a month ago this hits home on so many levels ty for sharing this game with the world
you’re welcome, thank you for your kind words <3
The difference between the internal voice and external made me tear up- bc that's really how it is
I’m so glad you noticed that detail. Thank you so much for playing <3
that's why I use the shortened name candi for candice since it's not too feminine or masculine
nice! glad that works out for you.
thanks but some people still ur my old name though at school "/
i’m sorry to hear that :c
Do you know what hurt the most?
"what did we do wrong? did I fail as a parent?"

can't she see it hurts?

(I'm a rambler, I'm so sorry- 😭)
thanks for rambling, i’m glad you enjoyed the game c:
this is amazing! you definitely captured it, in the UK it is easier to change name, did realise the drama it was in the states.
thank you, i appreciate it! i hope things get better for all of us.
This is really awkward. Good job.
ty <3
this is really well made; everything, from the voice acting to the story telling aspect
Thank you, I really appreciate it <3
Is this transfem or transmasc. It seems transfem and I'm wondering if there is a transmasc version?
Sorry, there is no transmasc version on account of the fact that at the time I made this game I only wanted to write about my personal experiences. Unfortunately, I did not and still do not feel like I could properly do a transmasc version.
Personally, I think of myself as transfem and nonbinary and the game draws from that experience, so that might be why the game doesn’t seem particularly conclusive about whether or not it is transfem.
Ah, alright! Have a good day!
