Hi, sine!<3 Happy belated new year and Valentine's Day. For video game recs, a friend recommended Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, which is a puzzle adventure game by the guy who made Ace Attorney. I haven't played AA, but I played a little bit of Ghost Trick and it's a LOT of fun! I think you'll have fun. It's about an amnesiac ghost with supernatural powers, and his journey to rediscover his identity. It's on Steam and Switch!
There's a new narrative-heavy game called Lost Records: Bloom & Rage that just came out, and a longtime mutual I know is utterly enamored with it and her enthusiasm made me curious so I'm going to check it out. I don't know much about it, but she has good taste in games and it's set in 1995, following a group of girls (who are queer? Or at least one or two are?). Copying and pasting the summary from Steam here: "Film your summer of 1995 and create memories of a lifetime with your new friends. 27 years later, confront the dark secrets that made you all promise to never speak again after that fateful summer."
And I don't think this is what you're thinking of for LGBT science fiction/fantasy, but I highly recommend All of Us Strangers. There's a fantastical element to it, and it's so beautiful and it'll break your heart and heal it (I ugly cried A LOT haha). It's one of my favorite movies ever, and I want everyone to see it. Here's the summary:
One night in his near-empty London tower block, screenwriter Adam has a chance encounter with mysterious neighbor Harry, puncturing the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam finds himself drawn back to his childhood home, where his parents appear to be living just as they were on the day they died 30 years ago.
