GENDERWRECKED

Such an amazing game, I loved every second of it and it has become one of my favourite games ever! I felt so at home and comforted by all of this game and just would recommend it to everyone!

I was looking forward to playing this game, and it still somehow exceeded my expectations. I think I'm going to be thinking about this game for the next few days

honestly, i didnt know what to expect from opening this game, it just seemed fun in concept but after playing it i want to say: you made the perfect game to make us monsters feel together, thank you :)  -  a wandering nonbinary asexual

Love this game so far but 0/10 its railroading me into kissing someone i wouldn't want to (jk on 0/10 but its, like, annoying bordering on slightly (slightly) upsetting i do not desire to kiss any dads. I wouldn't even ask if I could. My orientation is dadn't sdfhgsdknj).

after spending a week at home getting misgendered and having to explain over and over again to my mom that im not a girl, this game made me feel like i could breathe again. it made me feel like im not so alone. like there are other people who get what im feeling. i cant wait to play it again. thank you so much for this.

This game was amazing, from Larry to Jolene the Tree, the characters were so lovable and unique and their dialogue was really charming! I found myself the proud parent of 159 MEATY BOYS! It has just the right amount of ambiguity and open-endedness that really lets the world breathe and live. Awesome stuff!

I ADORED this game... The gender euphoria from being able to choose it/its pronouns for myself was amazing!! Thank you so much

aa the demo was amazing, can't get the full one but the art and writing and character design was so fresh and awesome!

Thank you so much for making this. I love it!

I can only play the demo rn but it looks so good!!!! I love the aesthetic and the humour. Your art style is also sooo rad

i love this! the art is so pretty. i cant buy the full game, but what ive seen so far is really good! 

This game was so much fun and so sweet!  Thanks for making it!

Thank you for making this. I plan on purchasing it as soon as I can afford it.

Thank you, this was exactly what I needed to hear.

this was an really great experience and I felt *seen*, and also it's AMAZINGLY sweet considering how terrifying everything looks. It's short but one of those things that gives you a lot to think about afterwards. Thank you so much for making this <3

just played the demo and oh my god i loved it . i'm so sorry i can't afford to buy the whole thing and support the creator because it's made me so happy , as a violently genderqueer person myself this has made me feel so seen thank you for making this i'm really sorry i can't support you

I played the demo and just loved it!! If I was able to get the full game I would bc I LOVE what I see

i loved every second of this and what it stood for. it made me feel more seen than i think anything else has yet. thank you to all of you

thank you for making this game. it really got to me in a deep way. i have been struggling a lot this year with my own gender. i haven't figured it out at all but this helped me feel closer i think. i am going to be on my quest for a while, i think, but this certainly helped me feel understood and seen. thanks again i loved this game xoxo

man i wish i could get the full game, but i loved the demo!

Just played the demo, I love Phil so much. What a legend. Thanks for this insanely specific game that caters to my very specific tastes and shows just how. w e i r d gender is fgdhfgfd

hopefully ill get the full game someday i cant wait!!

fuc i dONT HAVE MONEY  bUT I LOVE THIS OK

and phil is cool 👍

As someone who has recently been digging around in its gender feels, this game made me feel seen and warm and good in a way that I expected from reading about it and yet caught me totally off guard still. I don't really know how to gather up all the words to express how much this made me feel. Thank you so much for making it!

I really appreciated the way that this game sought to encourage discussion of gender's role in different ways and in entertaining fashion and would suggest it as a primer to those early gender questions to many with some caveats. That said, I was pretty displeased to see the one clearly extremely unpleasant character so strongly associated with neopronouns with no off-balance. For all the sense of inclusion otherwise, I walked away feeling like the game was telling you that neopronouns aren't valid and are only for arrogant pseudo-intellectual edgy people, which is exactly the stereotype they already have to deal with from outside the queer community. Perpetuating it within the queer community is a hard sin to swallow, even with the rest of the game being nice.

oh god i cannot express the amount of pain i feel having to put this in a folder to buy later, i just spent a bunch of money on some games and then right after purchase i find this monster,this beast, this absolute unit of a eldritch horror of a game and its calling my name, and a dumb bitch for not waiting a few more minutes to see this glorious masterpiece. As soon as the weekend hit this game shall be within my grasps and i will play it i promise thee that much. (also i fucking love this art style)

this game is For A Me

This is a beautiful game,  I've wanted to play it for a bit I'm so glad I actually did. The characters were awesome and it got me thinking about gender in a way that I hadn't before. The ending was so touching, and even though the game was pretty short when the characters returned I was glad to see them again. 

I'm glad to be in a world where this game exists

never in my life did i think making out with the sun in  a video game is something i would do. but ya know what, i'd do it again.

The advertising is accurate: my gender is wrecked.

In all seriousness though, (not that that wasn't) I adore this game. It brings adorableness to creatures of horrifying nightmares, sensitivity to creatures seeming unfeeling, and meaning to a seemingly empty world. I know I will be returning to this game because I have to. In the best and worst of times this game shows the possibility of unlikely friendship in an extremely short amount of time. It reminds me how large our impacts can be when they are ever so small. And it reminds me to keep searching for things I love, but sometimes that search is just me reaching out to others to come find me. We are all on our own journeys, but there's no reason we can't follow our paths together as they inevitably intertwine.

I love this game and it loves me.

Probably my absolute favourite game I've discovered here. I keep recommending it to everyone I know.

Poignant, honest, and beautiful, I found myself utterly in love with each character and felt like I never wanted this delightfully monstrous journey to end. When it arrived, I started replaying it again to see what else I could learn. I have honestly never felt my gender so accurately represented before and have entirely changed my opinion on maggots.

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.
