Dysforgiveness
Dysforgiveness is an analog game where you experience the futuristic process of changing your body to fit your mental model.
Dysforgiveness is an extremely intimate game, involving rubbing ideal body parts (paper cards) off of each others' bodies. It should be played by people who are comfortable with exploring the concept with whoever they are playing with. If anyone wishes to stop playing at any time, they should raise their hand so that play can stop.

Well... that's an unconventional idea.
After reading rules im still not sure if i really get it.
Well but i listened to song so at least i rated this.

I don't think I have someone on hand I can try this with, but do you know if it's okay to rate it just from reading the rules?

The rules are not clear enough, for example, it's unclear whether you have to swap a body part with another or you can just take one, or swap two for one etc.
Some examples for interesting "body configurations" would help understand how the game works.
The message you're trying to convey is great, but I don't think the current game rules would convey that message very well.
Also, don't see the relation to the theme.
I recommend writing a more concise rulebook and then playtesting a lot to make the message meaningful (perhaps it can be a little less obvious from the start, a later realization of the message can make it have more effect).
Also, probably best to new people as much as possible so that the message isn't 'spoiled'.
Good luck with this! :)

Cannot rate because there's no single player, but I really appreciate seeing a game that isn't digital. Thank you.

As a trans woman, I soooo know what your endgame means. Wow :D Kudos for the super innovative idea

Can you make video walkthrough on youtube? I'm not sure that I understand rules correctly.

I like the idea of making an analogue game and you have thought outside of the box.
I am not sure I will get anyone to play this with though. Maybe if you posted a video?

Amazing! I know I have velcro lying around...

Cool way to explore dysmorphia!
It might benefit from a random deal at the beginning -- sometimes you get *some* of what you want.
At the moment, it's open to be played collaboratively or competitively; it might be interesting to explore modifications that push it more towards one or the other.
Great work!

Would it be possible to upload a video to show what play looks like for those of us who can't download it?

Innovative idea. Not sure whether I get the idea though.

Hm... Interesting idea but I don't have a partner for playing this. That's a good idea (@Yaroslav Kravtsov) uploading a video for demonstration.

I wanted to rate the graphics because it is so good that it looks like reality!





But I'll try it IRL ;D
