Thanks so much for the shout-out, @kymira.ca! We couldn't have asked for a better neighbor than @wtchcrft.com at @qgcon.bsky.social last weekend. We should totally collaborate on a "queer indie games inspired by Blue Prince" bundle, haha! 🩵

Our game's title, Banned Together, stylized with a mix of embossed and rainbow lettering, overlaid on a virtual library interior, with an iconic green reading lamp and halftone lighting
Our debut game is Banned Together, a first-person mystery about book banning. You'll play as Ruby (they/them), a journalism major on an after-hours mission to investigate vanishing books. As you puzzle your way deeper into the college library, what will you learn about queer history - and yourself?
