Objects of Queerness
Synopsis
Objects of Queerness is a demo created for The Queerness and Games Jam by: Angélica Silva (writing), Angel(a) (music), NiloccoliN (programming), and Hazel Barr (art).
The intention of the game is to use objects to create queer representation, and design a relaxing and creative experience.
In Objects of Queerness you are the curator of a Queer Memory Center set in the Island of Maloca.
In this version of the future every community has a Queer Memory Center or QMC. Communities are mostly self-sufficient and trading is vital for creating connections between the different communities.
As the curator of a QMC you will start the game with a few objects on your inventory and trade with other QMCs to complete collections and reach achievements.
The objects are based on real life queer culture: books, movies, art, music, textile etc.
In this process you will travel to four different locations and meet with other curators. These trips and the conversations with the characters will give you a glimpse of how much things have changed.
Objects of Queerness is a game where you can learn and celebrate queer culture.
It is also a world where you can dream of a queer accepting future.
Informations
The game is still incomplete and might go through a small update after the jam. It can only be played with the mouse.
Feel free to tell us if you encounter any bugs!
Have fun :)

What a nice future! I really appreciated the world building here. The whole vibe was very comfortable, from the music, to the art style, to the way everyone talked. You also managed to create interesting and distinct cultures in a just couple scenes and few lines of text for each place. It left me wanting to learn more about the cultures and about how/why they got from our present day to that future.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! :)
