Can You Say My Name Again - 10/05/25

This game is interesting, to me it's sort of the basis for every other game that would be featured on her itch.io page.

Those base themes being: struggling with mental health, intimacy and sexuality, being a trans lesbian, and how those three intertwine.

I love how nadia nova fully embraces the awkwardness and fumbling around, the imperfections are cute and endearing.

I really admire how open and comfortable Laina and Pitsi are with each other, their wants and boundaries, without judgement

"She is looking surprisingly shy about everything and it's really adorable. I don't feel bad about myself being so embarrassed myself constantly, as now we're embarrassed together!"

I relate to not wanting to be with *straight* people, whether it be with platonically or romantically.

When I mean *straight*, it goes beyond just cis or hetero, I mean being completely indifferent to the suffering that the status-quo causes to those who lie outside of it, or even actually taking glee in that fact.

"Were they both cis?"
"Yeah, how come?"

"Why would you even want to date cis people?"
"Uhh, I don't know. Does it even matter?"
"Aren't you uncomfortable with them? They don't get how you're trans and how anything even works."
"Well yeah... I guess."

"It's just so much better to be with other trans people. It's safer and they know about shit. You never need to feel the need to explain your identity, they just understand cause they've also gone through all that crap."
"Yeah, I think you're right. I mean, I think it's just because I haven't really met any other trans people in my life so far... Like I'm supposed to just magically find them from somewhere?"
