Heart of the Woods

Two feminine figures sit on a pew together, looking at a book. Some text on the lower half of the screen says 'we lock eyes, and I feel my breath catch in my throat. The look in her eyes - pure unadulterated happiness - is something I've never seen before.'

Heart of the Woods has four main characters, all of whom are women who are explicitly attracted to women, and one of whom is a trans woman. Two couples are formed between the women, and depending on the ending obtained, these couples can end up happily together, separated but alive, or separated with one of them deceased.
