You're at the funeral
THIS GAME CONTAINS SENSITIVE CONTENT. Specific content warning labels are in the details dropdown below.
This is a Twine game I had made in Feb 2022 in the span of two days for a class and am now deciding to publish online. I was in a very specific headspace when making it and as thus it is probably a bit messy, especially with having "finished" it 20 minutes before its deadline. In the words from a statement written by past me, "The way my work was written was primarily through a stream of consciousness, writing whatever came to my head, because otherwise I would have fussed too much over the details to even begin, wasting precious time."
Take that however you want.
That being said, I don't particularly think I want to edit it in any way and that it is better left as a product of all of that, both for archival purposes and personal reasons. Just giving some context.
This is a game about visiting the funeral of your recently deceased friend.
There are about three different endings.
CW: Misgendering, transphobia, suicide, death, religious conservatism

My husband is a transman, and up until a few years ago, I know for a fact that his family would have done this almost exact thing. It makes me sick to my stomach. I feel like crying and holding onto him so, so much.
I love how gut wrenchingly horrifying this very thought can be. The pain and sorrow and guilt and love I feel while reading this story made me so deeply moved, I just can't properly articulate it in a more detailed way.
Thank you for writing and sharing this beautiful, sad story. I hope you're well, and I hope you're safe.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Honestly can't word how moved I am about this little story impacting you the way that it has, to have made you think of someone so close to you the way that it has. It means so, so much for me to know my shout in the dark resonated with you. I really wish so much love for both of you, and I am so happy you are able to appreciate the space you both share together. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
this made my chest hurt, and i sat in the student center of my college thinking about where life could've gone if things had just been slightly worse. amazing work. the different endings are great
Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words. I'm sorry for the heavy emotions!! but I'm happy this story resonated with you. Whatever your life looks like right now, I am very glad you are where you are and that you can cherish that, even if the future is always uncertain. Wishing you a lot of love!
