Nice game
Reviews for "Coming Out Simulator"
I realize i'm a bit late to the party for this game. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I was surprised! I liked the segments where the player talked to "you" through the style of text messages.
Wow, just wow. Your family seems so much like mine(except I have a big brother and my dad's still here, since divorce is frowned upon indian culture). This perfectly captured how I thought my family would react if I told them I was bisexual(my mum would be the one slapping me). And honestly I don't really blame them.(I am planning to marry a man, I just find girls attractive also).
And don't get me wrong, I love my family, but hate the fact that they couldn't accept this fact.
Well they don't have to, cuz i'm never telling them(I don't have to)
As for this game, it perfectly balances humor and angst. I love the artstyle of this and how simple it is. and I think 2015 being 8 YEARS AGO is more surprising than 2010 being 13 years ago tbh. I especially loved the line, "DAD I'M BISEXUAL AND BANGING JACK" XD
And I loved the endings also and the message of the game. Life sadly can't be replayed. The only complaint I have is the fast scrolling text, but that's it.
And it takes guts to tell your parents that. It shouldn't. But that's how it is.
Edit: AND YOU'RE A TRANS WOMAN ALSO?! So you're not gay but straight?🤔
Tbh? I cried, relating to how asian parents is mostly homophobics, and how Im just a closeted only child, and still am. As the "ending" says, real life cant be replayed, and I didnt have the brain capacity to play again for a different ending, despite how Im more of a person who likes to discover different "endings". This is a very polished and well done game, hurts me in the feels, congratulations Im proud of you
I was honestly just...losing trust on Jack just because he said to come out to your parents, even after he read that your asian parents can be homophobic, that just makes me have a bad feeling
I thought this was about you coming out as a trans woman, I guess that’s later. But the main point is, this is depressing, which means you did a really good job. And I also like that it does get better, which means there is hope. And I do hope your parents still accept you as their child again.
