This is what the game I'm making looks like.

I really appreciated not having to fill in known information from previous scenarios. It's a small thing, yes, but it's very nice not needing to find and enter Jane Doe's name tens of times. It cuts out unnecessary repetition and lets you jump straight into the fun new stuff in the scenario instead.

Dang. Parasite has been on my never-ending watchlist for years, but this post might just be the push I needed to actually check it out.

I spend a lot of time talking about all the things historical games do wrong when representing (or, mostly, not representing) women in the past - for a change, here I wrote about some games which I think do something better and more interesting in their depictions of historical women & girls!

IF you decide to contact these companies, be it phone, email, or whatever, be polite and friendly. The customer service people are not responsible for their business' policies, and they deal with enough shit as is.

The addendum to this is to run away from industry professionals who only want you to be there to gush about them and who only treat you as a thing they can get something for free from

Unfortunately there are still a few too many heroes you should not meet and certainly not hang out with
