Pride Happy International Asexuality Day! I have just announced an upcoming narrative game: “Ace & Aro: Heart-to-Heart”

Hello everyone, Happy International Asexuality Day! 🥳

I hope you don't mind my post, I think it will be of interest to the community. I’m an independent game developer and have just announced my next game for Steam and itch.io called Ace & Aro: Heart-to-Heart. I am grey-ace myself and felt my next title NEEDED to feature a-spec characters, as there is such a lack of asexual and aromantic representation in media.

Ace & Aro: Heart-to-Heart is a short narrative game for PC, Mac and Linux, where you talk freely to a-spec characters, understand their journeys and make lasting connections. It uses fairly simple controls and is welcoming to non-gamers and gamers alike.

This project is self-funded and currently in development, so please consider supporting me by wishlisting on Steam or following on itch.io

Thank you for your time!
