Thirsty Suitors
Representation matters, and indie games like Thirsty Suitors are usually at the forefront of authentic and diverse representation. Thirsty Suitors‘ ethnically diverse and LGBTQIA+ friendly cast of characters effectively personify complex issues that audiences (particularly those of South Asian descent) can relate to. Along with its top-notch representation, Thirsty Suitors is an excellent game in both design and execution. A vibrant visual style beautifully juxtaposes the mundane with the absurd. Tightly fluid skateboarding, cooking, and JRPG gameplay mechanics coalesce into an enticing entity. Like a complexly layered and delicious home-cooked Indian curry, Thirsty Suitors is a fantastic game that is truly more than the sum of its parts.
