Choices are powerful things and this game really gave my choices meaning.
Took the on the role of the character, with my strong resolve mixed in.
Knew in the end how it was going to go, even with my level headed answers.

This was posted to /r/WebGames (Great Subreddit btw) a couple of days ago, and i gave it a whirl, and definitely recommend it. The writing is really witty and clever when it's not being serious, and really impactful when it wants to be. And since the game is so short and self contained, the developer is able to give all of your choices true meaning, and in a way that you can easily see the effects of your decisions. If you have 10-20 minutes to spare, give it a try, it's worth your time.

I think that is intentional. No matter how well you "come out", it's going to be a bit weird, and even if it goes bad, you'll move on. It's not going to be as great as you hope, but it probably won't be as bad as you fear.

Also, (I think the game implies that) you as the queer person doesn't have control of the people around you. It's not your job to make your family be not stupid.

This is a really great little game.
But am I a retard because I thought the game would be about a guy waiting outside of a gamestop or somthing? (You know, "coming out" as in: video games)

It's 2014 and you still use "retard" as an insult. It's 2014 and you still don't understand what "Coming Out" means. It's 2014 and Gamestop?????
Go outside.

you cannot hide from it
you cannot beat it

Agreed. Self-deprecation is a fine art, not to be sullied with out-of-style insults.

In all seriousness, I'm not surprised that a kid misinterpreted heavier subject-matter, such as the stresses and difficulties in coming out to notably volatile parents. Besides, I've been places where "coming out" isn't really understood. Admittedly, in one of those places it was because nobody dared to come out for fear of a local mob, but there are also places where "coming out" doesn't usually happen because everyone's used to it, and it isn't some big ceremonial process to be gay.

Heh, that's quite a little game. I won't lie, I only played for 15 minutes or so... but it's a personal story that gives insight into a culture many heterosexuals don't take the time to conceptualize.

That said, terrible game 0/10 had no fun



hahah
