Coming Out on Top
Also known as COOT
Romance, Comedy, Dating sim, BL · by Obscurasoft · 2014
A college senior finally comes out and, with his roommates cheering him on, throws himself into a year of dates, disasters and very adult misadventures.
Who it's for: Adults who want a funny, explicit gay dating sim with lots of choices and a large adult cast.
The story (spoiler-free)
Mark Matthews has spent four years at college in the closet. Now in his final year and newly out, he is determined to make up for lost time, with help and terrible advice from his loyal roommates.
The game is built like a classic dating sim: hundreds of choices steer Mark toward one of six long romance routes, ten shorter dates or a hidden route, with plenty of ways to end up humiliated along the way. Every love interest has optional beard and body-hair styles.
Its humour is broad and often absurd, but the routes also find room for sweet, grounded relationships. All love interests are adults, including a professor route.
Why play it
