About Secret Little Haven
Secret Little Haven is a game about old computers, community, creativity, fandom, gender, and the internet. Alex Cole is a teenage trans girl in 1999 who has yet to figure herself out. She spends much of her free time on the internet, browsing a fan forum for her favorite magical girl show, and chatting with her friends.
Join her on her story of self-discovery through friendship and media as she explores her computer for the treasures and curiosities of the early internet.
Play with SanctuaryOS, an entire operating system developed in Unity, with nearly a dozen applications such as a Web Browser, Chat Client, Doll Maker, and Text Editor, as well as an entire web forum for you to search through. SanctaryOS captures the magic and wonder of old computers, and of the tight-knit sites and communities formed in the early days of the web.
Explore the internet. Explore yourself. Find haven in your life's small comforts.

[h1]"idk idk this is all way out of my depth & im surprised I made it this far ;_; ;_;"[/h1] [u]In the age of "anti-woke" garbage, stuff like this is comforting.[/u] This is clearly a deeply personal story, and likely will hold at least [i]some[/i] personal connection to a player. It is at the surface level, another "on your 'puter" games, which are always lovely - but this tale in particular is different. It confronts gender, parental conflict and just belonging in ways both pleasant and sad. The story is short enough that a single night was enough to get through it and it didn't feel too long. Some of the character interactions were a little...off at times? Nothing that ruined the experience, but a few times it felt as if things were really awkward out of nowhere, to slightly unrealistic escalation. The ending was [spoiler] sweet, but had a weird "your powers combined" moment that I suppose fits the Sailor Moon inspiration, but took away from Alex's agency. [/spoiler] Overall, a very sweet game and cheap enough that you're certainly not losing out with it. Amusingly, one of the rare games where the player shares my name as well.4 found this helpful
