a shy girl learning to become brave when her best "friend" goes missing.
stalker horror of a dude bothering you at work. v relatable for fellow ladies :|
loss of innocence, coming of age, main character stepping up to be a protector & mother figure for her brother
fem lead, but also a very deep story with other women! as well as a long run tradition of what they do with maidens.
amazing ending that i don't want to spoil!
forced pregnancy & loss of children
avoiding spoilers, a main character is shown dealing with psychological themes of womenhood & family.
though this game is a male protagonist, the story with angela, mary, & maria really stand out.

mainly the game is more about james & his masculinity but shows his perspective on women as well.
matriarchal dominance, spiritual role as women.

alessa birthing god ties into 3's, but also we get to see lisa's troubles as the main nurse.
pregnancy, childbirth & miscarriage
women in the family have powers as teenagers, strong female lead
has themes of body image & eating disorders, pregnancy, dating, & unwanted child.
male gaze, identity loss, objectification
birth & babies, motherhood
don't want to spoil this one!
motherhood, missing mother & spiritual feminine figures.
gender norms, bullying, WLW
themes of sexuality, ownership of your own body, forced pregnancy & body autonomy, consent, birth, stalking, etc.
my favorite feminine horror game. fem protagonist & fem villain. themes of birth, society's views towards women, stalking, intimidation, forced impregnation/birth, body autonomy, abortion, etc.
