„non-binary" verbindet Bullet-Hell-Action mit persönlicher Erzählung in drei Akten. Spieler:innen begleiten eine von zwei Protagonist:innen - zufällig zugewiesen zu Spielbeginn - vom Kindesalter ins Erwachsenenleben. Das Spiel bietet unterschiedliche Pfade, geprägt von gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen weiblicher oder männlicher Identität, und lädt zum Wiederholen ein, um die Geschichte der anderen Figur zu erleben.
Dieses Indie-RPG beleuchtet Frustration, Freude, Entdeckungen und Veränderungen im Leben non-binärer Menschen. Die Entwickler:innen haben sich an persönlichen Berichten und Rückmeldungen von Unterstützer:innen orientiert, um vielfältige Erlebnisse zu schaffen. Non-binäre Spieler:innen in schwierigen Phasen finden hier eine Erinnerung an die Unterstützung der Community - ergänzt durch globale LGBTQIA*-Ressourcen in den Kommentaren.
"non-binary" is a game in three acts that blends bullet hell and storytelling to bring you into the lives of two non-binary people.
you will accompany Elisa or Luca from childhood to adulthood, experiencing with them frustration and joy, discovery and change.
"non-binary" features two different paths: one for a character socially defined as female and the other, male.
at the beginning of the game, the character will be randomly assigned to you.
at the end of the game, you will be able to retrace their story or live that of the other protagonist.
we recommend that you experience both stories: by combining personal experiences and the testimonies of those who have supported us, we have created two very different paths. the lives of non-binary people are as varied and complex as those of anyone else. that's why the game doesn't aim to tell everyone's story, but only a small glimpse into a complex world.
if you are a non-binary person and you are going through a bad time, remeber: you’re not alone
many countries have LGBTQIA* associations that can provide support.
if you’d like to share in the comments those active in your country, it will make it easier for those who may need them to find them.
and if you feel the need, you can write us.
