It looks like one of the first ever computer games ever invented. Dreadful graphics, worse sound.
Watch at your peril!

Traumatised by her experiences as a trans sex worker – a profession she was forced into to pay for her transition – Ann overcomes her shame by sharing her story.
This provocative and hugely affecting interactive game tells the story of Ann, a trans person from America, who is forced into sex work to pay for the costs of her hormone replacement therapy – with traumatising consequences. With its 8-bit retro style, the interactive gameplay uses arrow keys to navigate the story, challenging the player to reflect on the very notion of personal autonomy and the (illusion of) choice: What would my path have been? How would I have decided? Taylor McCue’s deeply personal and incredibly moving work won the IDFA DocLab Digital Storytelling Award 2022 and is now presented for the first time in the UK.
