🤝 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.

Description
Every year, the glow of the palace lights can be seen even from the outlying villages during the night of the Moon Goddess Festival. Across the kingdom of Gatabel, people flock to the capital city of Peo for the extravagant festivities. The most extravagant (and most exclusive) of these festivities is based within the castle itself, The Queen’s Ball. An already exuberant affair, this year’s ball also marks the Princess Jaina’s coming of age to marry, meaning it is likely to be the most glamorous event of the century. With suitors, nobles, and other elite flocking to the city to celebrate and potentially earn favor, will you also attempt to shine brighter than all others to capture the affection of the desired princess? Or is your heart set on another gem? And what of the rumors of a dark antlered knight spotted near the outskirts of the kingdom moving toward the city? Dance, fight, and flirt away, for this is bound to be a once-in-a-lifetime event. ________________________________________________________________________________The Antlered Knight is a fully written Thirsty Sword Lesbians adventure about romance, fairytales, trashy romance novels, and how it all relates to the mysterious Antlered Knight.
