GAME DESCRIPTION

Queering Spacetime is a whimsical and inclusive pastel dating sim card game for 2-4 players, set in liminal spaces (e.g. a gas station at 1am). Roleplay girls with big crushes on each other, who also happen to be destined lovers across spacetime.

​

I created this game for those who want to see more positive LGBT+ and POC representation in media. Asian and African characters are often depicted without the recognition that those categories hold many specific ethnicities. That is why I created characters specifically Nigerian and Vietnamese, which excited players of those ethnicities. Similarly, I included romantic and sexual orientations such as biromanticism, asexuality, and demisexuality. I want players to feel represented in media made for them and create a sense of solidarity and belonging for them.

​

Queering Spacetime is unique because it is a queer and inclusive dating simulation card game set in mostly liminal spaces with an end goal of increased intimacy between players. It was designed with values against the capitalistic values of many games today. Instead of linear points-based progression, it focuses on a compromise mechanic in creating a series of enjoyable dates, emphasizing all players finding joy in subverting space and time, and celebrating queer existence. The end goal is an increased intimacy between players, and suggesting ways to bring that love into the non-diegetic space.
