ValiDate: Struggling Singles in your Area is a game that's not concerned with heteronormativity or alienating audiences with its nearly entire cast of beautiful Black and Brown characters.
It's my game of the year because it looks and plays like the games that I want; creative work that's unapologetically representative of its developers and audience. This is the kind of title that keeps me fervently invested in indie game developers.
ValiDate is a visual novel that stars 13 people in their 20s navigating life, love, and themselves. In volume one, you play as Malik, Inaya, Isabelle, and Emhari. As the player, you help them navigate this scary thing that's called life.
