Play and be challenged by a collection of thoughtful, entertaining and accessible games from the last 10 tumultuous years of LGBTIQ+ games.

Over 60 countries have laws prohibiting homosexuality in games and just 17 (including Australia) legally recognize non-binary and trans identities. In the last 12 months countries such as the UK and Australia have enacted online age verification laws that restrict access to LGBTIQ+ content and US payment processors such as Visa and Mastercard have forced online stores to stop selling NSFW games including queer games exploring sexuality and gender due to morality concerns.

So... do you want to see what they're all so scared of?

This year the Melbourne Queer Games Festival has curated a list of wonderful LGBTIQ+ games from the last 10 years. Check out some challenging, delightful, political, BEAUTIFUL games that deserve flowers, not stones.
