Sam Greenbriar – Gone Home
For many people, Gone Home was the introduction to a more serious, heartfelt love story from the perspective of a member of the LGBT community, Sam Greenbriar.
Sam is having a rough time with her parents, school, and just about everything else teenagers go through, until she meets a girl named Lonnie who changes things for her. As you make your way through the family home discovering the parts of this tale, you will more than likely be left in tears.
During a period when the “walking simulator” format of storytelling was being turned into a genre of its own, Gone Home symbolized one of the ways we could tell truly important stories through gaming’s medium.
For that, Sam deservedly gets a place on this list for being an LGBT gaming icon. She lead the charge towards sensitivity to the struggles that many in the LGBT community endure.
