Entrant - Neo-Twiny Jam
| Average Rating: based on 2 ratings Number of Reviews Written by IFDB Members: 2 |
This game is written for the Neo Twiny Jam, made for games written in 500 words or less.
It presents the story of someone who always felt like a boy, even though his mother felt otherwise. It presents a general feeling of malaise, before transition, a feeling that you could never be yourself, and the difficulties of living with unsupportive people.
This story is well-written and has some nice effects. There aren't too many choices, and then suddenly...the game ends very abruptly. It makes sense, and I think the whole game was designed around this moment, but it was intriguing enough that I think more could have been better.
Seated inside a train (going nowhere?), you reminisce about your childhood and how you realised who you were and who you were not. Through a smart change of background, or the animation of the text, this piece takes a humourous and maybe a bit self-deprecating approach to dealing with uncomfortable memories…
