short and sweet game with a rockin backtrack, graphics, and a gender(and poc)-inclusive serious talk about the experiences of many :]
3 / 5 - Really well made visual novel about female reproductive health, queer identities and medical discrimination people of colour. This should be required reading for anyone who calls themself an ally, it only takes like half an hour or so depending how fast you read. Overall a really interesting and lovely experience.
fun and educational. cool game :)
its peak
Short and poignant, but also very informational. Raising awareness about racism and sexism in medicine is very important!
Very lovely and beautifully put together.
