A half-true story about half-truths. 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?

i NEED more incredibly personal games like this

Really solid short queer game hindered by the simple but ever-present issue of the text flying by wayy too fast with no real way to slow it down. Feel like I woulda been able to appreciate it more if I didn't have to skim half of the dialogue to be able to read it in time. Still pretty solid though, although that's admittedly coming from the perspective of a gay man so it may be biased.

Consciously made the effort to only play it once, doesn't feel in the spirit of a "coming out simulator" to be able to do it again.

if my memory's correct, I found the game to be really simple but very well written and impactful. its effectiveness still lingers somewhat in my now 20 year-old mind.
