The anxiety is strong with this one. Great game, it wasn't like other choice games where I don;t think it really matters. This game actually gave me a sense of fear of what would happen to me (you) is I chose a certain choice over another.
Reviews for "Coming Out Simulator"
Aaaaannd now I have to go hug the shit out of my gay friends. This is a well designed and brutally honest game, covering a very serious topic. 10/10 would recommend to basically anyone, other than maybe people in abusive households so as to not bring up bad memories.
Beautiful game.
This was a very awesome game! It really lets you get a feel for how what people have to go through. Very excellent game.
This entire project was absolutely perfectly orchestrated - the options were tailored to reflect how WE would act in this situation, giving us probably the best sense of this struggle that any art piece could hope to achieve. I don't claim to be able to understand the plight of someone who has been rejected or disowned by their parents and I never will but your game made me think about this problem in new ways. Every choice you gave us showed the various ways in which this situation can be taken, from honesty to anger to, in the worst case, self-blame. I felt horrible at the end when I was given the choice to blame your (my?) boyfriend, my parents, or myself, realizing that every single option was a bad decision. But to be honest almost every decision presented to you when you come out as queer is a bad one...
Heh. You know, I sometimes feel a little guilty because when I came out as bisexual, I experienced none of the barriers or rejection most people do. My mom was basically just like "Oh, you're bi? Okay, that's cool." And that was it. I have an incredible amount of respect for people like you, who can brave the storm and turn it into something beautiful. Keep making good art, neither you nor I will regret it. :D
