TESTIMONIALS
āIt is the 21st century and I can finally get my Bisexual take on That Bit In The Mall In Bill'n'Ted and the world is better for it."
-Ā Kieron Gillen, creator ofĀ The Wicked + The DivineĀ andĀ DIEĀ
āA fun romp of a game thatās compelling for veteran roleplayers and casual gamers alike, employing comedy, nostalgia, and teenage drama."
- Sharang Biswas, Indiecade and IGDN winning designer of Feast and Verdure -
"I love this project for its inherent comedic genius, ā90s nostalgia, and because of how queer it is.ā
Trin Garritano, Games Digital Outreach Lead at Kickstarter, in āProjects We Loved: 15 of Our Favorite Kickstarter-Funded Projects from 2019ā
"VG vs MG combines everything I love: occult time travel, the '90s, and queer culture, with things I never knew I needed: an emo grudge tracker and a turf war that shouldn't really make sense but totally does. Lucian makes magic with his games always, and this is no exception."
