…Now that I, a shameless cheapskate opportunist at heart, bought the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. Seven hundred and forty-one games (and counting) all for a minimum donation of $5. It turns out many of them are about what you'd expect, like half-assed experiments last updated five years ago, or tabletop adventure modules. You know, mostly things made by people who aren't relying on the sales for income.
But! there are some real gems here! Where are you going? Let's take a look!
************************
Furries & Scalies & Bears OH MY!: Ultimate Edition — Part Adventure, part Dating Sim, all weird and wild. Each day brings new mysteries and adventures, and you interact with a host of different characters to learn the ins and outs of this brave new world. A visual novel format with choices per scene. Not every choice will lead to massive change, but it will determine your friendship levels with each individual that you spend time with. I mean, if you have ever wanted to date a Werewolf, now is the time.
************************
Interactive Portraits: Trans People in Japan — Interactive dialogues about gender, revolution, and resilience.
Warning: these works use glitchy visual effects that are probably not safe for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Please be careful!
************************
Distortion Nation is about Reverie, a 24 year old woman that's starting her day in a really bad shape, with a eye that's severely hurt and a arm that might be broken.
Also she's a vampire.
So what will she do? Ask her two girlfriends for help? Try so solve her problems by herself? Learn to open up to others?
By giving $3 you get a 100 pages artbook!
************************
Visigoths vs. Mall Goths is a tabletop roleplaying game and dating sim about the conflicts and romances among the warriors who sacked ancient Rome and 20th century spooky teens, set in a suburban Los Angeles shopping mall during 1996. There are a lot of bisexuals.
Imagine a surreal combo of The Craft, Empire Records, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and Clueless.
Funded on kickstarter in 24 hours!
************************
The Democratic Socialism Simulator is an attempt to prefigure the opportunities and challenges of a Sanders (or Sanders-like) presidency. It is meant to entertain, enrage, provoke socialist-curious players as well as comrades on the front lines of the political revolution.
************************
Pendula Swing: The Complete Journey is a point & click adventure game set in a fantasy version of the American Roaring 1920s. Picture the glamour and turbulence of the 20s in a world populated by elves, dwarves, goblins, orcs and other fantastic creatures besides humans.
Black Heart, the second release in the Carly Rae Jepsen TTRPG trilogy following the successful Boy Problems.
Work with your fellow cultists, investigate a village and the dark secrets it hides, gain power as the veil between worlds weakens, and finally: summon an ancient god.
Over the course of a week you will discover all sorts of weird creatures and magic slipping through the weakening veil to threaten the town. By gaining power in your three core stats (Heart, Soul & Mind) you will face these challenges and grow, including gaining a mutation of great power that will change you forever.
************************
Wet Cigarette is a tabletop roleplaying game for 2 players about embracing the end of something special and what we do after it ends.

A 2 Player Tabletop Roleplaying Game about Relationships Reforged in Conflict.
In an ever shifting war that has spread to the entire Merseus System, the Roran Federation's Ace Pilot has barely escaped from their life from a recent incident. Sadly, there is no time to rest for the pilot or their mechanic. This Mech needs to be ready to fight tomorrow and no one else is available to help. It’s going to be a long night.
Play out the history of your relationships in a series of flashbacks, both the lows and the highs. How will you both feel about each other once this Mech is finally repaired?

- The game stars Tabby, and her friends Trixie and Nikita (the stars of The Testimony of Trixie Glimmer Smith). They don't always get on all that well, but maybe they can all bond during their confinement in the Rot Prison?
- The game also has a host of side characters hidden in the barrows many ancient (and less ancient) texts.
