GENDERWRECKED

today i tried to buy this game for a friend and i accidentally bought it again for myself but its chill bc this game deserves it

I cried so much as the credits rolled. My gender is in a good place right now, but I remember every bit of what it took to get this far.

Thank you so much for making this for everyone.

I really have ta know if the secret ending is something i've already found, or if there's still more to this game!

Also, I want to read the PS's from other players, can that be done? ;w;

Either way this game is so... Feeling?? I don't know I gotta process. But, moon is kinda really helpful to my own gender quest!!

I'm so glad I finally got around to playing this. I kept laughing and falling in love throughout.

This game made me cry in good ways :D Every character was designed so intricately and, they're just all really awesome <3

I can't put it into anything sophisticated or cool or the exact wording of how it made me feel but I'll try. This game made me feel safe, welcomed. It felt like a really good hug after a long cry and now I get to doze off for a nap, knowing I'm loved and not alone. That's how it felt.

Honest, thoughtful, atmospheric, elegant, well-crafted. Very much like or unlike gender, depending on your  point of view. This game might not have answers but it has questions and that's even better.

This game wrecked me (pun intended) on so many levels. Everything from the design to the characters to the insight you feel about yourself by the end come together to make a game you want to play again and again. 

GENDERWRECKED is a truly amazing game. Between beautiful hand-drawn characters and simple (yet effective) ASCII backgrounds, the player is lured slowly into Aceae's beautiful and terrible world. Using a simple interface, Aceae tackles a daunting and abstract question: "What is gender?". 

Released July 24th, 2017, GENDERWRECKED will take you on a journey into self-reflection, and hopefully leave you with a greater understanding of this haunting and glorious world in which we live. Or at the very least, help provide some measure of closure for the poor souls hounded by the need to define one's self that is so prevalent in our modern world.

Any hints for installing on Linux? Loved it on windows, trying to show it to a friend on a Linux Machine (Ubuntu) and haven't had much luck.

aaa i played the demo and absolutely ADORED it !!!

this game is?? so good?? it really hits  the stuff i like and its so ?? interesting??

i want to play and learn more abt this world but so far its really fascinating,,,,,

hi :) i just wanted to say that i adore this––i wrote a poem based on the demo for my high school fiction & poetry class, so thank you for the inspiration! one day, when i'm out of high school and when i can actually...buy things hahah, i'll definitely spend more than $6.66 for this game because the demo made me so happy <3

This game fucking rules and it should be taught in schools <3 <3 <3

i'm just so happy that something this beautiful can exist. thank you all so much.

aaaaaaaaaaaah i made an account just to comment on how much i loved the demo!! it was lovely, thank you so much <3 i'll make sure to buy the full game whenever i can!

This one really got to me.  Thank you.

I really wanted to win this conversation

This is just… really nice. I enjoyed talking to the other monsters. I cried a little bit and I laughed a little bit and even when I didn't, GENDERWRECKED got me deeply invested. And "FAINTHEARTED FELINE" might actually be my GENDER?! And also the game is just really pretty in a post-apocalyptic way.

Whenever I see things like this I get scared that they might turn out to be a gross joke about how confusing/confused/wrong trans & non-binary people are but this game turned out to be nothing but beautiful, poetic, & kind.

It had such a happy ending too, it never made me feel *too* sad & now that I finished it I'm happier than I have been in days, so that was a big bonus!

This game honestly made me feel a little less anxious about talking about being trans too?  Like I always feel like I have to be really super casual about it or I'm being overly & sometimes I can't even say "trans" out loud out of embarrassment but I spent that whole game introducing myself as Kevin, he/him & by the time I met Mark I stopped feeling so bad about it.

It was just a really good & kind game, thank you for making it.  (Sorry i wrote so much I just really liked the game)

Wow, this is amazing! The characters are so intriguing and honestly a lot more fun than I expected. I defintely want to buy the full game soon because I just really love this game! I made a video, I hope you enjoy! 

Honestly, I feel like this game gave me my gender back? Like I didn't even realized how much I missed the days where my GENDER was new and poetic and this gave me some of that feeling again. After spending so long ignoring my gender out of convenience it's good to be welcomed home like I'd always had a place there. Who's to say it's immature to describe my gender as the squeak of a guitar string or the lurch of a missed step on the stairs?

I should get a diary or something instead of venting in these comments LMAO but seriously thank you for this it's so necessary and good

I could only play the demo but the game seems really interesting and the drawings are sooogorgeous <3 Really I think I'm in love with your drawings haha. I'll make sure to buy it one day if I can lmao

Thank you for making this. It's really, really special. Or is it they're really, really special? Is this game a person with a gender?  I don't really know anymore. Eh,  I'm fine not knowing as long as we can all live together and play videogames.

Seriously though, this game made me feel seen. Thanks :)

This game gave me such a wild trip in the very best way and explored gender in a way I could only ever hear my brain thinking.  I've never experienced a game (or any piece of media for that matter) that shook my core, made me laugh, cry, and feel my own gender all over again.  

Now this, this is art. I i wish i could play the whole game, like REALLY.

I'm in love with this, the art is amazing, the story is great and the character development is outstanding. You're a cool person, ryan.

Absolutely fantastic - brimming with charm and an incredible ride all the way through <3 DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and play this game and feel so many things at once 

Such a great game <3 

So short, but so beautiful. Let's all be genderbeasts together!

Sorry about the audio: 

What do i do with Python.exe?

This game is beautiful.  It made me feel emotions again.  It hurts, but it's better than emptiness.  I really hope the apocalypse creates a world just like the one in this game.  Swirling fire-beasts, werewolf-women, trees, and all.

This shit is fucking phenomenal. As in, something that enraptured my senses and lit a fire in my very soul.

This is very good. I'm usually not into visual novels but the random strangeness and profanity-laden charm is what makes this game endearing and excellent in my eyes. I look forward to whatever you work on next. 

I loved this game, I bought the full game:  

I am struggling to describe my experience without using hyperbole, but this game is special and good. There's a heart to every corner that radiates truth. I loved it. 

loved it. thanks for sharing
