I recently played We Are OFK, a vibrant and heartfelt episodic adventure that looks at the story of four queer friends navigating the music industry and their own personal lives. While the gameplay was fairly light, the emotionally authentic portrayal of queer experiences made it a truly memorable and moving journey. I’m not queer myself but it spoke with a truth and heart that I feel would resonate with anyone with the human preoccupation of finding worth and fulfillment. The fact that the art is stunning and the characters well designed also helped the 5 hours or so of gameplay.

If you're looking for a game that celebrates music, friendship, and self-discovery, We Are OFK is a must-play.
