In this role-playing game the player gets to experience the world as 3 different characters, each with an inherent difficulty setting. It’s a way of making a game-based analogy to explain “privilege”, without using the dreaded word. We were inspired by John Scalzi’s article ‘Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting there is’.  

The objective is to progress with your character through a normal day and keep up your good mood. You have to get ready and go to work, but, unfortunately, on your way there, you encounter a group of hateful protesters. When you finally arrive, you are in for a treat, since your boss also wants you to hear what he has to say.

All these interactions will have an effect on the character’s mood, attempting to show players some of the emotional impact, and that, just because something doesn’t happen to you, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen to others.

Check Yourself is about identity and stereotypes. It’s about fitting in and being yourself. It also features the craziest parties you can imagine! In Check Yourself your bestest friend in the whole wide world sends you an invitation. S/he* has invited you to one of hir’s social gatherings and you can’t possibly say no! There’s only one problem: s/he has very particular friends.
You’ll have to dress yourself and make sure that you fit in! But just how much of yourself are you willing to give up?
So dress yourself! And CHECK yourself. Stand out, but don’t sell out! Good luck!
Check Yourself is a dress-up game that pokes fun at the many stereotypes and labels that we have created for ourselves. It begs the question if these labels help or harm and whether as a society we can really demand from everyone to look and act in a certain way.

In Feathered, birds of the same feather flock together, literally. These brightly feathered creatures do not mix with those of other shape and color. But these birds can find common ground. If their colors don’t match, but their shapes do, the birds are intrigued and mingle. As you collect similar birds, your flock grows. A predator bird shows up to eat your birds. Only if your flock is big enough you can finally defeat the common enemy.
Using the power of wind, the player is able to drive birds together or away from each other.
The purpose of the game is to show how a diverse population has the power to stand up against intolerance.

Return To Sender explores the diversity of people and how we come to be who we are.
The player is given a character and has to rebuild their family tree until they are brought into the world. By reconstructing their ancestor’s relationships the player discovers the history of the family and the stories behind the people.
We all inherit traits of our parents through both nature and nurture. Return To Sender explores the multitude of possibilities that arise from generation to generation and celebrates the individuality of everyone.
Whether gay or straight, astronaut or fireman, artist or cross-dresser, Return To Sender reinforces the right for all of us to be who we are and to be with who we want.
