A game that focuses heavily on the navigation aspect of boys liking things that their male peers might find girly. Not a giant cruelty-fest full of hard-homophobia but a game that I think cis, trans, and queer males will be able to identify with a lot. We knew guys like this, we were guys like this, we were taught to side-eye guys in these situations. More familiar and mundane than tragic - and that is wonderful!
