This Pride Month, we played three iconic LGBTQ+ visual novels that are each a little spooky, a little spicy, and have a whole lot of heart: Midnight Scenes: From the Woods (White Blanket Games), Mediterranea Inferno (Lorenzo Redaelli, Santa Ragione), and We Know the Devil (pillowfight)! Plus: Is the Babdook a queer icon? Are trans people actual biblically accurate angels on earth? Does kink belong at Pride? (yes) All this and more await you!!

05:18 - Why does the horror genre pair so well with stories that explore LGBTQ+ themes?

12:59 - Midnight Scenes: From the Woods discussion

30:03 - We Know the Devil discussion

45:35 - Mediterranea Inferno discussion

01:16:00 - Some final thoughts
