You Choose
A downloadable You Choose
The following game "You Choose" is a game developed for the Gender Game Jam 2021 hosted by the University College of London. The makers of this game hoped to use the concept of videogame RPG class as an allegory for restrictive gender roles in society. We hoped to then frame the breaking of those roles as an empowering experience and as something that would improve the world.

The art and characters are adorable.
Nice background music too and the allegories really work well. The fear of potential reminds me of what Alok has also expressed in many of their talks and words: that there are options to live outside the strict binary, that there is creativity and more strength be found there. <3
I loved the style of this game and how you were able to tie gender to the classes and especially the ending (which I won't spoil for others). Really makes you think about the "rules" surrounding society and the means of control.
I'm such a fan of this game, I really really want to see more. I really love the story and presentation so far, will absolutely keep updated on it if you keep working! :)
