Is This Gay?

Is This Gay? is set in New San Francisco in 2069, a dystopian free-market capitalist future where authorities try to determine how many straight men remain so they can tax them appropriately. You take part in a gameshow designed to determine your sexual orientation. The game combines collectathon gameplay with gameshow challenges and open-world elements, and includes a narrator and many voiced lines.

The gameshow

The show asks questions about human sexuality. Online multiplayer connects the gameshow to the official Is This Gay website, where people can gather and post questions that then appear in the game.

Dreams and daily life

Dream sequences turn the game on its head, and change as your gayness increases. You can build a base, doom scroll on your phone, invest in crypto and start an onlypans. The game also includes leveling up, jobs, a day/night cycle, ultra-capitalism and black-market estrogen.

Other elements include simulated toilets, human feces and hypodermic needles that you can step on, as well as rats described as “the NYC kind.”
