Genre: Interactive Movie, Action-Adventure
Platform: PS4, XBOX ONE, PC
Audience: 17+ (Sensitive Material), Targeted towards those who like story driven games that aren't heavy on mechanics but do have decision making dialogue that will alter the outcome of the story.

In this game you control a person set in today’s world. Played in first person, you never really know what the character looks like. You must complete normal everyday tasks by performing actions that are highlighted on the screen related to buttons on your controller/keyboard. The game also has decision making dialogue that will impact the narrative of the story. As you progress through the game you are given hints from the people surrounding the character that there’s something terribly wrong with them. To the point where some people can’t even look at the character.
Building intrigue as to what is wrong with the character, the only thing you as the player know is that the character is going through medical treatment to try and cure this illness. The player doesn’t ever fully know what the illness is until the very end of the game. At the same time the character is going through with their treatment, people who used to be close to them will end up distancing themselves; including family. Towards the end of the story, the character is given the decision of doing a very invasive surgery that will help with their illness. Depending on the dialogues chosen up to this point, the character can decide to either seize doing their treatment in fear of losing more people and becoming an outcast or, keep on with their treatment. When all is done, at the end of the game, the character finally walks in front of a mirror. Taking a good look at herself and giving the player a chance to find out what’s wrong. The player might be surprised to find out there’s nothing visibly wrong with the character. No physical illness. No reason for the character to have been treated so poorly and in such an inhumane way at first glance. But, if you look closer, certain things are “off”. Her jawline is too defined, her back is too big, she lacks common female attributes. That’s when you finally know that the only thing that was “wrong” with her was that she was transgender.
