Jess' Queer Games Journey

Written in the Sky

May 8, 2018

A femme looking person standing in a bedroom. Dialogue reads 'Sienna, if you'll have me... then I want to be your king!'.

Somehow this game had less to do with the actual ‘sky’ than I was hoping for given the title, but I think the fact that it went further than that and actually ventured into space means it gets a free pass this time.

Serafina's Crown

March 27, 2018

Two gender ambiguous people standing in a arched corridor. Dialogue reads 'I don't know how to balance my feelings for you with my dedication to my duties.'.

Here, I was faced with a conundrum – what do you do when you fundamentally disagree with many of someone’s values, but you want to impress them anyway because you’d sort of like to bang? If you’re me, you apparently say ‘to hell with my kingdom’ and you chase the girl.

Starlight Vega

March 13, 2018

Two femme looking people, one with horns, stand inside a living room with stairs behind them and paintings on the walls. Dialogue reads 'Ahhh, but I'm so glad the stone got attached to such a cute girl.'.

It’s strange just how often a game allows me to choose between romancing my best friend, and romancing a demon. And by ‘often’, I mean that it’s now happened more than twice, and that’s definitely more than I expected.

Shan Gui

March 5, 2018

A femme looking person with unrealistic breasts standing under a tree. Dialogue reads 'It was my hop.'.

There are some games that I play and I genuinely wonder whether or not the artist has ever seen a boob. That was the first thing that alarmed me about Shan Gui.

Essence Hunt

February 19, 2018

Gender ambiguous person facing a large snake in a mountain range. Dialogue reads 'I don't have a lot of options, but there is a narrow gap between some nearby rocks.'

Sometimes, in order to meet the love of your life, you just have to wander into a forest, murder a deer, and anger a nature spirit. It’s a classic tale.
