In the medieval action game 1348 Ex Voto, the plot will revolve around two lesbians
The game has been wishlisted by 100,000 people
The independent game Knight's Path found itself at the center of a scandal following its developers' response to a question about possible LGBTQ+ content (prohibited in the Russian Federation). The team stated they are interested in "games and entertainment, not modern agendas." This phrasing sparked a wave of criticism.
The authors of Knight's Path stated there would be no gay agenda in the game and showed the main character's love interest
At the same time, another medieval indie game, 1348 Ex Voto, is attracting attention with the opposite approach: its plot is built around a romantic relationship between two female characters. The project's developers have openly supported the theme of representation.
In response to the Knight's Path scandal, their official account jokingly suggested players mark the release date (March 12) in their "modern agendas." This remark was perceived as a direct reference to the situation with their competitors.
1348: Ex Voto has already amassed over 100,000 wishlist additions on Steam, a significant indicator for an indie project.
