This provocative and hugely affecting interactive game tells the story of Ann, a trans person from America, who is forced into sex work to pay for the costs of her hormone replacement therapy – with traumatising consequences. With its 8-bit retro style, the interactive gameplay uses arrow keys to navigate the story, challenging the player to reflect on the very notion of personal autonomy and the (illusion of) choice: What would my path have been? How would I have decided? Taylor McCue’s deeply personal and incredibly moving work won the IDFA DocLab Digital Storytelling Award 2022 and is now presented for the first time in the UK.
