A semi-autobiographical elegy to trauma from sex work that lives on still. He Fucked the Girl Out of Me strings together scenes of various tasks of a certain kind of sex work layered over each other. They're assembled not to tell the story of the past, but to invoke the feeling of the trauma they've left behind suddenly washing over you. Little moments, like a seeing a flavor of chip at the convenience store, always bring you back.

The major scenes here are commanding and effective in these aims. I think there's a somewhat narrow idea of about trauma and sex work as things which exist in the world packaged here, but Taylor addresses this at the top as not really being the point so I can't really be too bothered about it. This game confers a really textured sensation of trauma and emotional response with a simple tool like GB Studio and to a degree which the cinematic formula that hangs over games just cannot do.
