listen. I need more video games that let you gradually undertake a dramatic and bizarre transformation (of the literal kind, not just a change in temperament or muscle size, and I definitely don't mean MTFTG) without being moralized by some aspect of the game's design.

like it's fine if there are diegetic viewpoints that assign moral weight to the change, as long as they're not meant to be obviously correct to anyone who isn't intentionally playing as a villain. likewise I don't mind if characters treat the protagonist differently, provided their attitudes aren't depicted as inherently rational and/or justified.

games where you must declare loyalty to a specific moral position, or make some cartoonishly dichotomized decision (e.g. "will you eat the babies or start an orphanage to protect them?") are right out.

and I'm certainly not here for games where the choice to get transformed (or of which transformation to take) is considered a pledge of loyalty to a moral position. fuck right off with that nonsense.

additionally, I need more games that don't treat the transformation as one of the worst possible things that could happen to you. like it's one thing to play up a physical element of body horror; the only thing there that I'm not on board with is when the transformation is violently painful. but I don't need to deal with either the protagonist or narrative loudly/repeatedly telling me why I don't and shouldn't enjoy any part of it.

(unless they're being tongue in cheek about it, because they know damn well what their players are here for.)

but I also need more games that don't care if you think it's horror or not. where it's just a thing that can happen, and it might seem strange or unpleasant depending on your tastes but there's nothing inherently nasty about it. transformation neutral tames.

essentially I need more games like Dredge, where each new change is a hard-earned milestone, where eventually you can look back and see how far you've come not only from where you started but who you were. yeah, OK, technically you play as the fisherman, but I'm not making him walk around, I'm controlling and upgrading the boat. to me, that at least sort of counts.

(while this is meant primarily as critique, I'm open to recommendations if you happen to know any. Baldur's Gate 3 is already on my list to try out, as are Tyranny and Caves of Qud. I already have Rad, The Binding of Isaac, and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.)
