i haven't fully finished the game yet but upon finding all this out through character dialogue n stuff i was kicking my legs and squealing with joy. not only does this game slap but it has very loud and proud queer rep and i fuckin love that

You should. It's a great game, and if you struggle with any sort of mental health condition, you will feel very seen in a non condescending way. There are lots of indie games that examine depression and anxiety, but this goes beyond that and I felt a lot of it in my soul.

Agreed—games can make difficult subjects feel lived-in rather than lectured. The best co-op moments do something similar: mechanics turn the theme into a conversation between players.

In my opinion it’s still nuanced as people in Vaugarde are implied to choose their own gender which means it’s possible for her to still be trans by real world standards. (like bonnie is nonbinary but i would assume has not changed before.) Also her dual typing as an intersex allegory is cool.
