Everyone's "coming out" story is different. Depending on the person's environment, the experience can be anything from an uplifting release to a traumatizing reminder that certain demographics are still cruelly stigmatized. Game developer Nicky Case chronicles his own tale in an interactive fiction piece called Coming Out Simulator 2014.

There is not much actual game to Coming Out Simulator 2014, which functions like a choose-your-own-adventure book. At various points, you'll be asked to click on certain options before events roll on. Coming Out Simulator 2014 was made for the #Nar8 Game Jam, which requires participants to finish games within a limited time span. Both the game and the source code can be downloaded for free, although Case welcomes donations.
