queerly_belovedHello, everyone! It's time once again for Thursday Recs!
This Thursday I'm recommending: Dominique Pampelmousse in: It's All Over Once the Fat Lady Sings
Full disclosure, I did back the IndieGoGo campaign for this game, but that was almost ten years ago now, so I think that counts as "old news"?
Anyway, the title character is genderqueer, as is the creator (IIRC), and it's an interesting little game that only takes a couple of hours to get through. (I will admit to having gotten stuck once in my play-through, but for the most part it's pretty straightforward.)
Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!
Or have you tried something recced on a previous week? Do you have your own report to share about it? I'd love to hear about it!
This Thursday I'm recommending: Dominique Pampelmousse in: It's All Over Once the Fat Lady Sings
In this unique and offbeat stop motion musical detective adventure game, Dominique Pamplemousse, the titular protagonist, is a down-on-their-luck private investigator of ambiguous gender only one rent payment away from homelessness. When the CEO of a major record company shows up asking Dominique to locate a missing pop star, taking the job appears to be the straightforward thing to do. However, as things are never quite as they seem in these kinds of stories, Dominique winds up framed for a crime they didn't commit, bringing to surface their mysterious past and the events that led them to take up shady detective work in the first place.
Oh, and did I mention it's a musical? With singing and everything?
Don't forget to also check out the even weirder sequel, Dominique Pamplemousse and Dominique Pamplemousse in: "Combinatorial Explosion!"
