    I was thinking the same thing, I imagine there’s an indie game or two out there but the dude bros probably aren’t playing those. Celeste came to mind but that’s not a gay protagonist so much as a trans one.

      Celeste is also one of those games where the story has nothing to do with the character’s sexuality, and you wouldn’t know if you didn’t look it up.

      In Hades on the other hand, Zagreus is as bi as… an ancient Greek demigod, I suppose. You can romance a female Fury who loves strappy leather and whips, or the literal God of Death. Or both at the same time, even.

      However I feel like those who could have judged it may have given it a free pass because, well, it is ancient Greece.

        Oh yeah, how could I forget Hades. Kind of everything goes with him, though (I’m grateful how Dusa ends, haha). But yes, it is ancient Greece.

          I have to admit I saw it through with Dusa partly because he’s the only person who’s nice to her at all, and partly because I was really hoping for a gratuitous pun about him “wanting to get some head” preferably delivered by Meg, lol
