Trans Pyre
Submitted to June #RainbowJam 2018
In Trans Pyre you're a trans person in Finland, about to perform some summer solstice gender magic.
I got the idea for this game on the day after Juhannus 2018, while brainstorming name ideas for a different game. Six hours later, Trans Pyre existed.

This was so lovely. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This short Twine story is a thoughtful, well-paced examination of a transgender person's feelings as they perform a ritual to help them battle their dysphoria. It has some beautiful moments, particularly burning the items from the box. And as an added bonus, it also features words specific to the Finnish setting, which you can translate with a click! 4/5 stars - excellent.
This gave me chills as I played it - lovely, beautifully paced, intense in a way I didn't know I needed.
Burning dysphoria a few times over was incredibly theraputic. Plus I got to learn some new words. 11/10 would recommend!
