Life is Strange and it’s prequel, Before the Storm, seem to be at the top of every “LGBTQ female game protagonist” list right now. I’ve already done a fairly extensive revie…
Hot take: Life is Strange and Before the Storm, in spite of having wonderful, complex LBPQ women, treats them like shit and is a terrible example of LBPQ rep in gaming.
So here are some diverse female protags who are treated right: http://willowfae.com/diverse-female-protags
Recs include Night in the Woods (bi/pan MC with two gay best friends in a loving and supportive relationship), Road Not Taken by @spryfox (choose your own gender and sexuality, and date whoever you want!) and Tiny Bird Garden by @daisyein / @superretroduck (super positive mobile game with racially diverse characters drawn by a Black female artist.)
Since this is such a short list, and I haven’t been gaming long, I’m sure there are a lot more games worth including! Who did I leave out?
