Sidequest

At Sidequest, we value and center the voices of people of marginalized genders. We started as part of the WWAC, Ms En Scene, and Bleating Heart Press family, and though we’ve since branched out into an independent site, we still hold those values close. Our volunteer staff includes writers of different ethnicities, backgrounds, and genders, and we celebrate what each of them has to say about games and gaming culture.

We call ourselves Sidequest because we’re not aiming to be the main story; we embrace the strange, the unconventional, the texture and flavor that make the world rich and lively. We like the side-stories, the supplemental material and codex entries that enrich our understanding of the fictional spaces we inhabit. We want to look at games sideways, upside-down, and in slow motion, shining a light on the things others might miss.

This is our Itch page! Here you'll find our 2010s decade zine and, soon, collections of games that we find delightful, meaningful, or just good and silly.
