What is the game about?

People who identify as "transgender" are finding it increasingly difficult in our society. Many untruths are being spread, even to the point of hate speech and incitement. Many of these messages are believed and spread because of a lack of knowledge and empathy. We try to promote both through this game by accompanying the main character, the "TransGenDeer," through his transition, learning about the challenges, successes, and failures, and encouraging players to engage with the subject matter more intensively, or to show affected people that they are not alone and that there is already a wealth of information and support available.

The implementation

The characters

• main character
  • TransGendDeer wants to develop and transform, and it has the support of its allies, but of course, it's not that simple. Fate cards and "Did you know that..." events determine progress, and enemies try to prevent it altogether.
• Ally
  • The bear supports and protects the TransGenDeer, its embrace increases the TransGenDeer's Child while the shield is active (value > 0), no enemy can cause damage. The TransGenDeer can faint up to 4 times until the game ends.
• enemies
  • Deadnamers are people who cannot or will not accept that transgender people choose a new name and want to be addressed by it. This group of people therefore continues to use the transgender person's "deadname." This behavior is disrespectful and causes the transgender person repeated harm. In our case, a single touch is enough to cause the TransGenDeer to faint.
