UST
A downloadable game
UST (Unresolved Sapphic Tension)
UST is a short, collaborative game for two players using Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanics. It tells the story of two oblivious lesbians realizing that their romantic feelings for each other are not, in fact, unreciprocated. It is a GM-less game: both players split the responsibility of building atmosphere and directing scenes.
Version 2 has been updated with improved rules (including examples of play), three quick-start scenarios, and a graphic redesign centered the beautiful new cover art by Ally R.
UST is a hack of Jess Levine's excellent dueling game, I Have The High Ground.

Such an unbelievably cool take on I Have the High Ground, as the creator of it, I can't tell you how exciting it was to see this. It's so perfectly realized, and also in the spirit of the sword lesbians for whom IHtHG was made. Thank you SO much for making this, it rules.
Thank you so much Jess 💖💖💖
as one of the playtesters, this game is gonna be an ABSOLUTE BLAST
imagine if being a lesbian and confronting your feelings was like playing rock paper scissors. nothing is stopping you from being hot spies or space gardeners just trying to flirt but it gets too serious
the character sheet is adorable. you're gonna wanna play with your most severe bun
Sometimes a game is laser-targeted at you so intensely it is almost offensive. UST is perfectly in that category.
Gonna make a character who's value in Self is "my great ass" and who values in others "an even greater ass" (which I wrote before reading the suggested options!!!!! AAAAHH!!)
hahaha I’m so glad!
