Our take on Terfenstein 3D
Rather than using a conventional military or science-fiction conflict, this retro FPS places its escape-and-combat structure in a dystopia focused on persecution of transgender and queer people. Its campaign uses familiar first-person shooting conventions to present explicitly queer, transgender, and feminist themes.
