🏳️‍🌈 Why it’s here

What we found
  • Queer themes
    According to the game’s rulebook
    “Erasure was created in part to simulate the feelings of emptiness and loss that bi-erasure, ace-erasure, and everyday queer oppression create as well as to demonstrate the strength that comes from acceptance.”
  • Queer creator
    According to our queer creator directory
  • Tagged queer by its creator
    According to the creator’s own tags on itch.io
    “itch.io tags: lgbt, lgbtqia, queer, transgender”

🤝 Inclusive design Inclusive design is separate from a game’s queer labels. It marks games whose design is deliberately inclusive even when not queer-themed: romance or marriage mechanics with no gender constraint, character creation without a forced gender binary, gender-neutral rules language, or table safety tools. Each marker shows where we found it.

  • Safety tools (X-card, lines & veils, session zero)
    According to the game’s rulebook
    “A Line is something a player absolutely does not want to come up. A Veil is something they are fine happening “off-table” but do not want to directly deal with.”

Description

Erasure is a social game of creeping horror and loss. It is a game of lies, truths, and the grey space between the two. Many people who grow up feeling a bit different spend a large portion of their early lives with their identity being rubbed away, replaced with something easier to understand and label. These youths grow up and find adults who don’t believe they (bisexual, pansexual, asexual, aromantic, masc-presenting non-binary trans, etc.) exist at all. The very core of their gender, sexuality, and romantic identity: erased. Now updated to include a Printer Friendly version.
