A transphobic troll leaving a 1 star review of Reborn saying: "Supports mental illnesses. How such a backwards vile ideology can be promoted is beyond me. There are only 2 genders (gender = sex). Gender dysphoria should be cured with mental help and not mutilating yourselves."
Making yourself look like a transphobic ass in front of the entire jam. #transjoyjam
BondPyre, a short visual novel about wrestling with identity, is out now and free to play directly in your browser.

The first scene from our game, showing the character looking at a pond and thinking...
A scene inside the labyrinth, showing one of the few accessories you can get in the game! In this case it's a witch hat and it's located at the other side of a room with a waterfall!
One of the starting areas of the game, here is where you get your first body part ^^
Another room inside the labyrinth, this one being full of spikes. There is a monolith as well, but to read it you'll have to get closer jumping said spikes...
We are almost done!!! #TransJoyJam
I released a visual novel yesterday after developing it under just four weeks for #transjoyjam
I hope to get some feedback from everyone! Shares are appreciated.
For those that play it, please rate it on itch.io as well if you can~
I snuck in exactly one polish in this game before I turn in for the day ahaha. Well two I added a little counter if you have the things but I did that just for me. #transjoyjam #pixelart #indiedev
