About
"My social circles are divided into three, stalwart, mutually exclusive groups.
A first of chronically online Tumblr users. I've drifted in and out of several and now exist in one with next to no ties to my home country.
A second of extremely normal heterosexuals. The worst they've seen are Instagram wellness reels and Discord does not exist to them.
And now, apparently, a third of rubber-coated kinksters who want to rearrange my guts.
I feel like someone like me shouldn't have a third.”

LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST is an interactive fiction piece for unemployed British trans men in their 20s with no career prospects whose only major social interactions happen over Discord. Other people can play it as well, I guess.
Play the game (for free!) that had people giving such rave reviews as:
"So beautiful, so intense, so funny."
"I almost cried at several points, and ended up crying at the end."
"dear god this was an experience"
"the first interactive fiction to make me feel *actually* anxious and afraid"
"[slurs]"
And won the most controversial entry in IFComp 2024!

/r/transgendercirclejerk ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to wholesome yaoi fic in 5 acts. maddening and then cathartic. a wee bit shallow and fairytale-like at times, but it still works because of the very attentive characterization and clever payoffs.
Gay. I approve.
Everything feels like a personal attack in the best way possible, Also gave me comfort in a way i would never thought of. Love it

release that remix of "follow me" plz UPDATE: ITS OUT NOW! THANK YOU!
Played this when it first came out. Still ♥♥♥♥♥ me up.
Intense and stylish. The writing is so good on delivering the point of view, it's very compelling to follow the thread of where it's going.
Игра 'LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST' – это визуальная новелла, которая погружает в мир декаданса и страсти. Сюжет, хоть и не отличается особой глубиной, цепляет своим откровенным изображением сложных отношений между героями и их внутренними конфликтами. Визуальный стиль великолепен: детализированные персонажи и яркие, запоминающиеся фоны создают атмосферу чувственности и порока. Геймплей прост и сводится к принятию решений, влияющих на развитие сюжета и отношения с различными персонажами. Выбор не всегда очевиден, и часто приводит к неожиданным последствиям, что подстёгивает к повторным прохождениям ради раскрытия всех возможных концовок. Стоит отметить откровенный контент игры, который может быть неприемлем для некоторых игроков. Тем не менее, если вы ищете сексуально-заряженную историю с интересными персонажами и выразительным визуальным исполнением, 'LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST' определенно стоит внимания. Но помните, что это игра для взрослой аудитории, и её следует воспринимать как эротическое развлечение, а не как руководство к действию.
I played it all, over 2-3 days. DEFINITELY not for everybody, and the niche of the niche of chronically online people would appreciate I think you dev made a very beautiful game, and write with wit and humor, I'd offer you a beer I laughed, and thought a lot while playing, I'm happy I played this. So yea, thank you and based for being so vulnerable in a place as public as a VN
OK but no Latex :(
i need valentine in a way that concerns feminism
