The second Sucker for Love game is yuri, it has a different protagonist
well they don't advertise that one the store except apparently through the anime opening video (I don't watch steam videos for sensory reasons) so how was I supposed to know? Like legit if they don't have one of the main tags be LGBT and if they don't say it on the store how am I suppposed to know?
That's actually a question with an interesting answer!
Short answer:
Fun fact-- Developers don't have control over how their game is tagged on Steam! Players chose the tags!
Long answer:
Devs have very limited control over what tags get applied to the game, especially after the game has been out a while. There is some~ ability to remove tags if we feel they are inaccurate, but not really a chance to add them, with one exception. Steam highly weighs user-defined tags, way over whichever tags that devs assign. Basically, if the game has been out for any amount of time and has more than a few hundred players, as people add their own tags for the game, the 3 most popular tags will become the 'main' tags for the game
https://store.steampowered.com/tag/
The exception is the initial setup of the steam page. We get 20 tags basically to categorize the game for algorithm purposes, and can choose which are the top three tags *only at the start*. With how people search for games, you have to prioritize the most basic descriptors of the game as the top 3 (specifically-- you have to make the two of them genre descriptions and the third one for major game mechanics. Or if you are able- one for genre, one for game mechanics, and one for major theme.) I think that top three tags we chose at the beginning were "dating sim", "visual novel", and "horror". Like, Date to Die For is also definitely, intentionally an LGBT game! But yeah, I mean when we had only three words to describe the game so someone understands at a very basic level what it is-- its a romance horror comedy dating sim. And we didnt even get the "comedy" tag in, lol.
Just to 100% clear though-- despite those initial tags-- we really have no control over the tags that are there now. Users have applied their own tags over time, and thats what you see on the Steam page now. FWIW, DTDF *is* tagged by players as an LGBT game, just not the top 3.
To your point, I do see now that b/c we wrote the steam page description in second person, that we don't explicitly state that you play as a lesbian protagonist. This wasn't an intentional oversight, but we really did strive to communicate this in all of our other marketing like the trailers, all our interviews, how we described the game to press, social media posts etc.
That said-- Date to Die For is proudly an LGBT game! Among the many things that make DTDF fun to play, DTDF is inseparable from Stardust's identity as an (alloromantic) asexual lesbian. Literally-- the story could not have even happened to anyone other than Stardust, specifically because her immunity to Rhok'zan's love aura makes her one of the few people who can save Rhok'zan without being driven insane...
Anyway that was probably way more than anyone wants to know about games marketing and how Steam works!
