--------------- Description ---------------

The game is based on personal experiences and a famous LGBT incident in 2001 called the Queen Boat Incident or Cairo 52. The game looks from the perspective of one of the people who was arrested during the events. It talks about stigma, fear, and loneliness that could push any young person towards hating themselves and sometimes to suicide. This game is about raising awareness about LGBT life in Egypt and showing that our work as a community is not finished. There is a lot of work to be done to make sure the world is a safe place for everyone.
