I Don't Have A Cue! (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Hailey is a biochem major who volunteers as a makeup artist for college productions. She has a crush on one of the actors, Shana. Unfortunately, Shana has been giving her mixed signals at best. Is Hailey missing something?
Shana is a lit major who loves doing theater. She always participates as an actor in her college's productions. She has autism, and because of that she hasn't even realised Hailey has been flirting with her this whole time.
Glimpse at interactions between the two girls from both of their perspectives.
I Don't Have A Clue! was made for Queerly Represent Me Jam 2018, and it is a group effort by Benny, Draz and Yareah.
It is currently a Demo.

Amazing. It's short, but I laughed hard at the bad choices and social faux paus, it's all so relatable! Thank you so much for making this. I've never played or even seen a game with an autistic character before, and the choices were so well done.
I haven't replayed it yet, but I really like the idea that you could do something wrong because you pick the choice you'd do , but then you get a 2nd chance after learning what the right path was! But also that sometimes the "wrong" path still works out for the best and maybe even brings you closer 💖 And it was so nice to get to see things from both perspectives too, normally it's just you figuring things out on your own. So that was fantastic.
[minor spoiler ahead if you haven't played yet :] And I teared up a it at some moments too, like realising how, of course she's a good actor, because of masking! Really beautiful and insightful into things that seem obvious in retrospect, in a really nice way. And when Hailey was like, "oh yeah I guess we don't need to say hello again" on the date, and she kind of got where Shana was coming from right away, love that so much
Let me start by saying I've only played once so far (I wanna replay but I gotta get to the other 20 games I haven't checked out yet adfh) but I really liked what I see! The characters are cute and tbh if you decided to just end it as is or just extend the date for a bit I feel like it already tells a sweet and interesting story.
I like how you used the text funcionalities and the background movement, maybe you should also look into transitions a bit more, the start and end do feel really abrupt.
tl;dr: Good work!!
Thank you so much for the feedback!
