Mario and Pac Man and Donkey Kong might be fun to play, but there's one thing those classic gaming characters are missing: cocks!

 

Coming Out On Top combines gay erotica with comic book imagery for a "Choose Your Own Adventure" style video game. And although the game has been around for five years, it continues to win over fans with constant updates and new, sexy characters.

 

The premise of the game is simple: you are a college senior and you're looking to come out of the closet. In order to do so, you have to have lots and lots of gay sex! And you have tons of men to choose from, including firemen and popstars and other college lads.

 

“Five years ago, when there were far fewer indie games around, I found myself searching for a dating sim, but was unable to find the one I wanted,” Obscura, the pseudonym of the game’s creator, . “Surely, somebody had made a fun little dating sim where you could date lots of hot guys and have all sorts of crazy adventures, right?"

 

 

There weren't any she liked, so Obscura decided to make one herself. (Yep, the game was made by a girl! Gasp!)

 

"I specifically wanted something lighthearted, with lots of zany humour and engaging dialogue,” she said. “The idea of a game where you played a guy coming out to his college roommates seemed like a great starting point for a dating sim."

 

As time went on, fans began to ask for more sex in the game. She was happy to comply, but it came with some serious problems.

 

"Another challenge, of course, was all the raunchy sex in the game, making it a smidge more difficult to work with payment processors and vendors," she pointed out. "Even though the cocks were just drawings of cocks, it took a while to find an amenable seller. This year, I’m hoping to get a censored version of the game on Steam. It’s regrettable that adult content is still struggling for public and corporate acceptance, in spite of how popular porn is."
