I don’t have a lot of time to play game these days. I usually play games like Cities Skylines where it’s easy to pause and exit. I basically have 1-4 hours to game a week - depending on the week. But ever since coming out trans, I’ve wondered if there was a game that casually was affirming. I realize I could play an RPG where you can design your character, but most of those games have you spend 2 hours designing and then you never really look at the character again. Baldur’s Gate was a lot of fun, but it’s a little too deep to play casually on the side. I strongly prefer a non-NSFW game. I realize a lot of NSFW games exist on Steam that do explore trans concepts (I assume), but I’m looking for a more positive, gentle, affirmation.

But I don’t want to knock down too many ideas! What do you play?

Edit: I realize I made it sound like I’ve excluded all RPGs which I don’t want to be the case since - inherently - anything affirming will have some RPG element to it. I just don’t think first-person RPGs really work since I spend most of my time looking at my hands and I don’t get to see my character.

    Yes! Also, special shout out to my boy Arcanum. An absolute banger, even if it is old and needs a community patch to be worth playing.
