It’s Pride Month 2024, and as per the last few years, a new Queer Games Bundle is available for purchase on itch.io. Sporting works from 271 queer creators from around the world and nearly 489 products, ranging from video games, tabletop games, zines, albums, and asset packs, there is plenty of value for your money here.
One of the particular highlights of the Queer Games Bundle is Jill O’Lantern First Slice and Second Helping, the first two parts of what will be combined and released later this year as Jill O’Lantern: Final Cut. This queer “Ace Attorney meets Friday the 13th and Groundhog Day“, as the developer describes it, is a quirky time-bending visual novel combining mystery storytelling and puzzle-solving with analysing horror tropes and queer identity which Charlie wrote about glowingly earlier this year. Another notable entry in the bundle is the somewhat wordily-titled BOSSGAME: The Final Boss Is My Heart. Boasting “LESBIAN DEVIL-HUNTING ACTION!!” on its store page, the game is a rather unique boss rush action game sees you play as Sophie, a trans woman sword priestess and Anna, her fire witch girlfriend as they hunt devils, confront their corrupt employer and uncover the horrible secrets behind Mammon City. The world has been waiting for Dark Souls for trans lesbians, and developer Lily Valeen has finally produced it.
As with previous bundles, the Queer Games Bundle 2024 is being sold at itch.io for $60USD. There is also a Pay What You Can Edition starting on a sliding scale from $10USD for those who cannot afford the full-priced version. Fittingly, the proceeds of purchases of the Queer Games Bundle supports the queer creators behind the games and products directly.
With nearly 500 products that you’re getting, the Queer Games Bundle 2024 is a pretty fantastic deal, with plenty of fun, quirky and heartfelt games to play. If you’re interested in supporting diverse creators and playing some fun games, the Queer Games Bundle 2024 can be purchased here at itch.io, with the Pay What You Can Edition available for purchase here.
