5 Best Games in the Steam LGBTQ+ Sale You Should Buy

In honor of National Coming Out Day, which celebrates LGBT awareness, Steam is holding a fantastic sale that features video game characters that fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. If you’re short on cash and interested in some fantastic games, here are the five best games in the Steam LGBTQ+ sale you should buy. Keep in mind that this sale ends on Oct. 15.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm

Original Price: $16.99

Sale Price: $5.09 (70% off)

Life is Strange: Before the Storm takes place a few years before the events of the first Life is Strange and dives deep into the relationship between Chloe and Rachel Amber.

It’s a poignant and emotional story that is worth playing if you’re a fan of the choose-your-own-adventure series and features tons of cool moments that can only be found in this prequel, like a dungeon and dragons segment that might be the best part of the game.

The developers over at Deck Nine also do a fantastic job of portraying characters that fall into the LGBTQ+ categories.

Gone Home

Original Price: $14.99

Sale Price: $5.99 (60% sale)

Gone Home is a very short but sweet first-person adventure game that puts you in the shoes of a young woman who comes back home from vacation to find that her family is gone and the house is completely empty.

To find out what happened, you must investigate the house to find clues and while you’re doing that, you’ll find out some secrets about your family, specifically your sister, that you had no idea was going on.

It’s totally immersive, emotional, and heartbreaking, and truly delivers an authentic story that’s worth playing, especially since it’s only a few bucks on Steam right now.

Night in the Woods

Original Price: $19.99

Sale Price: $13.99 (30% off)

Playing as Mae, a young cat who has recently dropped out of college, you get to go back to her hometown and stay with her parents and visit her old childhood friends.

While Mae is stuck in this childhood mindset, she soon learns that everyone she used to know is now grown up and they’re doing adult things while she hasn’t matured much.

It’s a nice coming of age adventure game where you pretty much explore your town, talk to the inhabitants, and learn what it means to grow up… even if it’s something that you don’t want to do.

Dream Daddy

Original Price: $14.99

Sale Price: $4.64 (69% off)

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is exactly what it sounds like: you get to create your own custom daddy and then go out and date other handsome fathers that live in your new town.

Being a single father can be hard, but going on dinner dates and connecting with other single fathers might make things a bit easier.

At that low price, it’s hard not to recommend this game to anyone who enjoys dating sims.

Also, if you want to see a very funny video of our publisher, Yami, actually playing Dream Daddy, you can check out that video on her YouTube channel right here.

Red Strings Club

Original Price: $14.99

Sale Price: $7.49 (50% off)

The Red Strings Club is a cyberpunk narrative-driven adventure game that has you playing as a bartender that’s also trying to overthrow a corrupt corporation.

A cool gameplay mechanic is psychological bartending, in which you have to create custom cocktails to change the emotions and moods of your customers so that you can gather information from them to help your investigation.

The price is cut in half right now so this is a good purchase to make during the Steam LGBTQ+ sale right now.
