Queer Quest: All in a Gay's Work

Exactly what it sounds like: queer Monkey Island. Had a great time with it.

This game is so cute and fun. You can knock it out pretty quick, fun to play with a friend so you can put your heads together when you get stuck. Some of the puzzles have solutions that are a bit less than intuitive but that gives you the sense of accomplishment when you finally figure it out (like that damn bike tire lol). It's really the characters that sell the game for me though. I feel like I've personally known versions of half of the people in this game and that really makes it come to life. And the hilarious writing when you try to do dumb stuff really brings out the Monkey Island vibes. Also the subtitle should be "Portland Simulator" :)

All games should let you ask people's pronouns. (Disclaimer: this game was gifted to me, hence the "product received for free" box."

I downloaded this game after hearing about it on the Eggplant podcast. It's a really fun time! I think where it really excels is the character design and dialogue. If your friends are a bunch of weirdos like mine it'll make perfect sense. If you're looking for a hard core adventure game, this is not it. There are puzzles but they mostly involve bringing people items. Instead, think of this as a chill vibe game, along the lines of Night in the Woods rather than The Secret of Monkey Island (although I did enjoy the Scumm bar reference!)

This game was awesome! Please make more and take my money.
