Better known for her work with game criticism and less as a game developer, Mattie Brice released the amazing Mainichi and it is a thoughtful RPGmaker-driven affair that experiments in sharing personal experiences through game mechanics. Mainichi is far removed from your average goblin-slaying RPG. It is a glimpse into life as a mixed transgender woman and the daily occurences faced. It's short but something that is both enlightening and definitely worth at least a second playthrough.

Are Skyrim-level visuals and sleek, responsive gameplay integral to the development of a game we won't forget? Dys4ia says no. Painted in neon-bright colors, Dys4ia is an autobiographical look at six months of its creators' life and the tribulations instigated by hormone replacement treatment. Poignant and almost painful to behold, sometimes Dys4ia was, and still is, a game that resonates with its brutal honesty. And, yes, it might just make us understand some rather important things.
