This game brought a tear to my eye. Not only because it was emotional, but because it also reminded of a game my sister and I used to play a lot. To know it was made by that same guy really is just...bizzare and awesome. Anyway, enough chit chat! Play it here: https://ncase.itch.io/coming-out-simulator-2014
I've played it before. I thought it did a good job at giving the illusion of choice, which is one of the advantages of having text for dialogue. It's easy to change, and you don't have to record a bunch of different lines.
Kind of relatable to be honest. Many of the dialogue options actually seemed like things I would say. Also, the mom's reaction seemed like a really exaggerated version of things my mom said (that "the media" and this forum are confusing me, she also seemed pretty worried like the parent in the game).
It's funny, the things that the mother said were similar to what my parents say. They're actually quite similar. The father in the game absolutely disgusted me, though, and I feel sorry for anyone who has a father like that. It was really good; I liked the fact that the game noted that I saved the truth for last. Overall, I think it made me feel better about the inevitable event of coming out to my parents.
I saved the truth for last as well. Whenever you do come out just know that those of us on EC have your back If I had to describe my coming out as truth, half-truth, or lie I would say it felt like a half-truth in the way people reacted. Enough of the truth is out there that people know, but it was vague enough for people to still choose to ignore it. But I refuse to let the truth go unnoticed. I have a thing bout honesty.
Eh. I always liked the Simulator Simulator better. "Yo, dawg. I heard you like simulators, so I put a simulator inside your simulator so you can simulate while you simulate."
