A downloadable barely playable game

Download NowName your own price

YOU ARE A BEAST is a barely playable microgame about existing as a trans person in a hostile world. It is informed by my experiences as a trans woman living in the UK.

It was written as part of TRANS FUCKING RAGE JAM, and owes a lot to the combined voices of everyone in that community. I want to extend a special thanks to stargazersasha for her incredible organising efforts!

If you are trans, you have my express permission to download this game without paying! 

That said, tips are always appreciated <3

If you are cis, YOU MUST PAY FOR THIS GAME!

I'd say I don't make the rules, but in this case I literally did. Bite me.

This game... is exactly what it's like. Thanks for making something so beautiful and brutal.

You are a beast by Wintertide Games found here is painfully beautiful. The simple mechanics paired with perfectly simple writing makes this game incredibly powerful. It's one I come back to as I struggle with treatment of my non-binary identity, and I'm slowly filling up the blank page with fighting and not giving up.

I absolutely love how this game uses it's mechanics to get it's point across. It's incredibly impactful and highlights the difficulties that can come with how trans people are treated by society. The layout also really ties into this point, overall a very powerful experience.

incredibly tasty visual design, stark and gorgeous writing. this evokes the pain and anger of fighting against what feels like the world, and the joyful anger of seeing these struggles depicted and the act of perseverance recognised, themes that many games about trans perseverance strike on but that there's still not enough of in the world. I bet this will make many more people feel less alone.
