This is a really creepy game! Unsettling in a subtle way and raises fun questions about identity. Reminds me of this story I read a while back.
normal day of being transgender
The closest I come to knowing that experience is through family and friends, but I can see how this story might hit some familiar notes. I feel for that experience, and I’m flattered to hear my story has facets beyond those intended.
Thank you for playing!
Thank you for writing!

Oh man, the ever-present feeling of Something-Is-Very-Wrong here is really well done. The kid is wreaking absolute havoc on this poor parent's psyche XD
I thought just leaning into it seemed to be working out well ... but noooo
Haha! Thanks for playing!
Thank you so much! I wondered whether the “horror” aspect would register. I’m happy to have your confirmation. This has a bit of a spiritual connection with your Bare Bones Jam game A Totally Normal Checkup (which I really enjoyed) in the “who is the unstable one” and “captive versus captor” area…
Thank you so much! And thanks for playing! This was actually my second attempt at a Petite Mort this year, because my first one led to a scope creep infestation! (loved your game for the Bare Bones Jam)
Narrowly escaped!
