GAMES WHERE YOU CAN BE GAY

Dead Age 2 Update:
I've played about 5-6 hours so far. It's not looking good so far. The NPCs have all assumed I'm interested in women and I've only seen one flirt option - and it was for a female NPC. Haven't seen any gay content at all or indication that I could get with any of the guys in my current group or in the other factions.
Will be playing more tomorrow - I REALLY hope it's not a case of hidden gays again.

Other than that? It's a pretty fun survival RPG.

Been playing for days now - no sign of gay content. The game keeps assuming my guy likes women. There have only been flirt options with women and they keep throwing themselves at me.
Not a single gay flirt or NPC that I know of. If there is gay romance like they promised - it's very hidden and possibly hard to miss considering I'm almost 30 days in time.
...There was one male NPC in my camp that I accidentally got killed early on - but I thought he was straight unless I was reading things wrong. IF he was one of the (or maybe only) gay options then that was my bad.
Still, this is really annoying because I love this game. The only other guys in my camp are super straight.

However, you do encounter random civilian couples that you have to save - they can be same-sex or opposite sex since they are randomly generated. However they have no impact on thebgane or its story s9nce they are one-off unnamed NPCs.

Sorry to hear they lied to you and the fan base. The gaming business seems to be on a regression spike at the moment. I hope it passes soon. I need gay games already! 

I just picked up Empire of Sin. It's a tactical strategy RPG like XCOM meets Civilization. The gist is that you select one of about a dozen crime bosses who are new to Chicago in the 1920's and then you slowly build your empire by taking over territory, creating "businesses (like casinos, speakeasies, & brothels), and taking out your rival crime bosses until you are the last one standing.

I bring it up here because there are about 60 characters that you can recruit into your gang. Each of them has a distinct personality and relationships with each other. For example, I tried to recruit one guy and he wouldn't join my gang because he hated another character who I recruited earlier. And characters can change relationships based on what you do with them. For example, I had two characters who were my starting gang members who went everywhere with me and they eventually gained a close friendship on their own. It's neat. Nothing groundbreaking but a fun little distraction.

And it's relevant to this board because one relationship factor is love towards another character. The pre-set relationships don't have any m/m love, but there is an f/f relationship between two of the lady gangsters. And if you go to the reddit board for the game, apparently it's very common for two male characters who spend alot of time together to fall in love (cue the whiney straight gamer boys all crying about how anachronistic it is to have gay gangsters in the 20's). And at least two of the PC characters are queer. Salazar Reyna, a stoic boxer turned gangster from Oaxaca, and "Mad" Maggie Dyer, a former circus ringmaster. I've only played as four of the characters so far and I'm barely into the game at all so I'm sure there's lots to find still. Again, nothing groundbreaking. The 'romance' content is a throwaway (it just adds new stats, no storyline) but it's nice to see that LGBTQ characters were included, even if they aren't terribly abundant in the game. Just wanted to give people a heads up.

I can't recall any currently out, but Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous comes out in September (if not delayed) and it has a somewhat important npc lesbian couple, a gay companion you can romance, and bi companions you can also romance. It's a CRPG if you're into that. I played the first Pathfinder and the gay m/m romance seems an upgrade from Regongar. (I adored him but... he could be pretty rough around the edges.) The bi m/m romance... if you can look past his outward personality and get to know him, he definitely has some good moments and he romances you in a sense.

Hope no one minds me dragging this thread up from the pit, I've been obsessing over a game lately and thought I'd spread it to the group.



Scarlet Hollow is a horror VN about a small Appalachian town run by the Scarlets, a wealthy coal baron family with a dark past. You play an outsider whose mother ran away from Scarlet Hollow, returning to town for the funeral of your aunt, and staying with your cousin Tabitha in the Scarlet mansion over town.

This game is episodic and has only released three chapters out of seven, but the chapters out already has a lot of replay value - there's a trait system that lets you choose what the MC is good at, several characters with pretty complex relationship values, and several crisis points where you have to make a choice and someone (probably) gets hurt. No real romance yet, but the characters are already pretty great and you can flirt a little. There are six possible ROs so far, one is nonbinary, none are genderlocked, and you can hit on your cousin's undead ex-boyfriend if that's your thing. And if you want to try it before dropping money the first chapter is free here on steam or here on itch.io.

Eternity was just announced. It's persona inspired game, where you can romance male character.

The only choice of games I loved were wayhaven and fallen hero and also some of the wip ones but I hate playing smth that’s unfinished 😭
i was eyeing up golden rose let’s hope the plot and the romance content/ chemistry are worth it 😊
