🤝 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.

  • Romance/marriage mechanics with no gender constraint

Description

Across the twisting sea of fates, a glance catches yours and sets your heart aflame. You reach your hand out only to feel the weight of heaven disappearing beneath you, sending you hurtling down and down and down. You see their eyes, feel the threads wrapped around your hearts growing tighter as you fall. Your bodies will change. Your names, memories, and lives as well. But you will meet again. And again. And again. As many times as it takes to reach each other. Crossing the Seven Stars is a 2-player game about useless lesbians mutually pining for each other across lifetimes, unable to muster the courage to confess first. The game is played over the course of 7 Lifetimes, with the final one containing the inevitable confession. Probably the only game on Itch to ask you to go out and play 5 other people's games.
