@Lenz: Thank you a lot for your comment, first of all! It has been quite some time since I played the game, so my memories are quite hazy. I indeed think that my reservations stem from my political upbringing and that the game is still beautiful for what it's trying to do. There is a genuine spirit of love for oneself that transcends the initial fragility of the characters and that's empowering, liberating and fresh – and the simplification might ultimately work better in the context of a game versus a book.

A follow-up question would be to ask to whom this game is addressed? People in the community (NB or queer in general)? Outsiders?

melonDS works perfectly for the microphone, though!
