The Left Eye has been on my wishlist for a while and I'm thrilled to finally have it! My original plan was to wait until it's finished, but this might be the push I need to dig in early! They even have censorship options which my frail little heart appreciates hauntedtrumpet.itch.io/the-left-eye

Petty lies that Emile is willing to tell in order to [checks notes] get a refund for a train ticket? 🏳️🌈 he's totally straight 💍 he's definitely married 🦠 he has Spanish influenza #screenshotsaturday #visualnovel #lgbtq #indiegame #gamedev #begaydocrime #verypettycrime
Just opened an adorable birthday card with original art of Emile and Jackie from The Left Eye by our extremely talented sprite artist @metonumia.bsky.social ! I love our two fantastic artists at @team.hauntedtrumpet.com, couldn’t ask for a better birthday present than cute art of our OCs 😭🙏 #vndev
One of the ep4 routes in #TheLeftEye takes Emile & Alex to New York Botanical Gardens so our artist-at-large @sansorganes.hauntedtrumpet.com went there to get some shots of the Haupt Conservatory, which has been there since 1902! #nybg #gamedev #art #research #vndev
Felted a patch for a local pride quilt, with translated lyrics from 1920s gay liberation song “Das Lila Lied”. Working on The Left Eye reminds me that not only queerness itself, but queer also identity, community, and activism are centuries old 🌈🏳️⚧️🪻 #lgbtq #queerhistory #pride #felting #queer #lgbt

Emile is always working on the big score but he’s never above a bit of petty theft… In episode 3 of #thelefteye you may be able to relieve Clarence of his tie pin if you play your cards right 👀 #screeshotsaturday #vn #gamedev #indiegame #begaydocrime
Weird trans people on the internet will create stories that institutional media companies are too chickenshit to ever try, and that's just how it's going to be
