Digital Diversity is a review project for games made by the LGBTQIA+ community. This community is often lacking it positive publicity or media outlets prepared to discuss their work; that is where Digital Diversity comes in.
The games below are ones that have either been streamed on the Twitch channel, or have played personally and feel positively represent the queer community. They are not specifically games about queer characters or focus on queer themes, instead they were made by incredible members of the community who deserve attention for their work.
[CW: Reviews and interviews on this site contain NSFW language, discussions on sexual & gender themes, possible mention of transphobia & homophobia, and are queer AF.]
Are you an LGBTQIA+ game developer who would like their game streamed and/or reviewed? Let me know!
Want to play these games for yourself? Well if they are on Itch.Io here’s a collected list of each game on my list that I’ve either played/reviewed or intend to soon!
