Selena and the Strange Tower is a game I made for the Trans Joy Jam last month (3-week jam)! It's an hour+ long free RPG starring Selena and the story has some trans theming! Today the game also gets a big update (v0.9c). Enjoy!!

Hey you. You like pinball? Splatoon? Supporting trans games and trans devs?

Please consider throwing a couple $ if you have as I had the (mis)fortune of being denied disability as this came out.

Or if you can't give, do me a solid and share this or my other games around!!! I can use the help!

Making yourself look like a transphobic ass in front of the entire jam. #transjoyjam
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."

We are almost done!!! #TransJoyJam
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...

It was being alone." "Since I was a teenager, no one ever had an interest in getting to know me." "I tried making friends all the way into adulthood, but..." "I just gave up one day."
