They come across a mysterious shop that looks simultaneously like their saving grace and their biggest nightmare. Will they risk the livelihood and relationships they have built to live as their true self, or push it all down and keep going like they always have been, hoping if they ignore it for long enough it'll go away?

Content warnings:

Scroll past this if you want to play spoiler - free!

Depression, suicidal ideation, suicide, gender dysphoria, transphobia and homophobic slurs used

This game was lovingly (and painfully) written by two transmasc butch lesbians and has a lot of our own personal experience reflected in the main character, so we hope you enjoy it!
