7 video games with bisexual protagonists
It’s Bi Visibility Day everyone, and you know what that means, don’t you? It’s time to name and celebrate seven different video games that either gives you the option to be bisexual, or the protagonist is bisexual regardless.
Some of these games will be surprising, in fact, some you may not have even known — making it a perfect time to show them off.
We’ve done our utmost to pick games that aren’t just triple-A, meaning you’ll find some indie options here too. Give them your attention!
Let’s go, bisexuals, let’s go!
Unpacking
Unpacking follows an unnamed and unseen protagonist who is assumed to be female. As the game unfolds, we start to see hints about the character through what we’re unpacking into their new environments.
Over the years, we see the protagonist go from young child, to college and then moving in with people we assume are dates. One level sees her move in with a male partner, but we’re soon to learn it doesn’t work out. The main character then goes on to move in with a female partner and we start to see their family grow as a baby’s crib is present in one of the rooms.
Lake
Lake is a game that’s rather simple: you play as a woman called Meredith who returns from the big city to cover for her father as a mail-delivery worker. Along the way you meet a collection of new and familiar faces, as well as a few people you even get the chance to smooch…
Meredith Weiss isn’t open in her sexuality in the same way as some other protagonists you’ll find on this list, but don’t let that stop you from checking out Lake.
Assassins Creed: Valhalla
Just like Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is another AC game where no matter who you were, you’re able to kiss whoever you wanted to. That was great, as there were a lot of options to smooch.
As your main character Eivor journeys from Norway to England, you meet plenty of male and female potential love interests who you can flirt with. Flirt well enough and you could get into a very steamy encounter or you could take it further for a full-on romance.
Dragon Age
Yes, everyone and their mother knew this game would appear — but that doesn’t make it less special. Ever since Dragon Age: Origins first released back in 2008, BioWare has got better and better with adding bisexual romance options, as well as even a pansexual romance option with Iron Bull.
If you’ve not played the Dragon Age series then you are doing yourself a disservice, get to it my lovely bi beauties!
Life is Strange
Life is Strange, the episodic adventure game from DONTNOD has an active, LGBT community that has dedicated a humongous amount of themselves to the game. It even has a fan-made game called Love is Strange, which is just as good if you’re looking to pair Max off with characters like Rachel Amber, Victoria Chase, and Kate Marsh.
Life is Strange protagonists Max, Sean and now Life is Strange: True Color’s protagonist Alex Chen, are all considered bisexual as they have romance options of either gender. In Alex’s case, she even explicitly expresses her interest in both love interests (Steph and Ryan) regardless of who you end up going for in the end.
Hades
Supergiant Games have always included two things when it comes to its games: stellar, life-changing music, and plenty of characters from the LGBTQ+ community.
The main goal of this roguelike adventure is for Zagreus to escape the Underworld, however, there’s more to Hades than kicking all of the arses of the denizens of the Underworld. Zagreus can form relationships (romantic and otherwise) with plenty of characters, but he has a wild amount of chemistry with three particular characters: Megaera, Thanatos, and Dusa. All three have a complicated, but interesting relationship with Zagreus, all of which can be revealed only by talking to them, as well as gifting them items such as Nectar and, eventually, the luscious Ambrosia.
Boyfriend Dungeon
Boyfriend Dungeon might be a controversial pick considering the level of discourse that surrounded it’s release, but trust us when we say that this game really screams ‘bisexual’. I mean, just look at it: you’ve got people turning into swords and that, for whatever reason, gets you pretty hot and bothered.
It’s an incredible game and is a roguelike that’ll keep you playing for hours and hours. It’s also full of hot people. What more could you want?
