Virago: Herstory 4+

I love the message of the game as a whole; I think that as a woman (especially a WOC) that it’s important to create these types of spaces in order to raise awareness to the dehumanization women face on a daily basis, through exploring the lense with a little girl as our main character, It intensified the message, we watch as these cruel men attempt to rip Willow’s innocence away from her and as the game progresses she begins to increasingly fear the world more than when she’d first walk out the house. We also got to see glimpses of Ally’s, bystanders, and enemies, which I thought made things even more realistic. (I can’t lie I found myself getting nervous at my grown age during the scenes where I had to get away from strangers). Overall, it’s a wonderful game and I can’t wait to see what the developer does next!

This game was super hard to get through but l never gave up even tho l kept being mad that l could not get though it l must say for episode 3 you have put the flash light on the guy multiple times so he will get dizzy and then go back with (⬅️) and then jump though all of the trash cans I’m only saying this cuz l saw a lot of reviews that said they can’t really get past it so I’m just giving some tips for that level ldk how long this took me but l just know it did not take me an hour to get to the end also another tip DONT GIVE UP !!! That’s it ! I hope y’all get though the game and enjoy it cuz there’s only 10 episodes l think and they do not take long if you get though it very fast !

I loved this game. It was so much fun, and had the right amount of sadness and scariness. I found myself terrified while being followed, and not wanting to leave the characters that helped me. The game really makes you feel for Willow and what’s she’s going through. Seeing the affects of allys, bystanders, police, enemies, ect., really made the game hit me. I felt sad and scared and happy for Willow. The episodes are bite-sized, so you don’t have to worry about saving or losing progress. This game was absolutely amazing- from the tone and mood to how it represents womanhood and girlhood, I’ve found myself replaying episodes just to get the feeling again.
