"I don't feel different. I just feel empty, I don't feel traumatised."
HFTGOOM offers a very succinct discussion on trauma from the point of view of a trans sex worker, and I think with its short runtime it does an incredible job of connecting you with both of those points of view. I think this is something which is going to land on a more personal level for most trans people, but I feel it probably offers a view that most cis people have never really considered before, which is extremely valuable.
This game made me cry, it's uncomfortable, and vunerable, and relatable, and probably the most deeply personal project I've played. I wish more people would use the medium of video games for these exact kinds of exploration.
