Trans Narrative
This is a fictional twine game wherein you are told by a computer entity that you are being reborn and can decide what your look is... to some extent.
It's so hard growing up in a world where people don't accept you for your identity. People think that you are either faking it or believe it to be a choice, and most of the time it is both. I have suffered for so long trying to figure out my pronouns and my gender identity and this game is meant to be a reminder that many people are gender queer and that you have the choice to be true to yourself or happy for the sake of other people. Both happen.
Light TWs: While there is no action towards it, there is an implication of the character contemplating !!Suicide!!, implied death but no gore, and societal pressures of gender non-conforming individuals.
I am a white non-binary person and while I attempted to make even more diverse characters, this was a class project wherein I had limited time to make. I originally had plus size characters to add to the game as well which is really disappointing to see that I was unable to make those characters work in the timeframe that I had.
All characters based on player decision have the same fate and while I may not have been able to make entirely equal design numbers for everyone, I did attempt to get as close as possible. I intentionally tried to make these things equal as well so that no one character is discriminated against.
My designs were quick so I do apologize that I do not have more diversity in hair and skin. These are hand drawn and took a lot of time but I do wish I could have done more diversity for people of color. It isn't an excuse and I hope that I can spend more time working with POC characters and POC creators in the future to be able to be even more inclusive and diverse.
Note: The music will likely only work on the first screen, I apologize ahead of time for that. It might work if you download the game and then the sound should be downloadable from there but I am still unsure of that. It is 3AM by Lennon Hutton and is available to use through my Epidemic Sound subscription.

Just noticed that it looks like if you install the game, it should allow you to download the music file from there if you want it as ambient background noise. I did not include this in the description of the game, but the music is 3AM by Lennon Hutton and is royalty free through Epidemic Sound.
