I’ve made it quite clear all along that you play this game as a child. I deliberately made Lux & The Shadowmaker about a child, not a girl, not a boy, a child. I didn’t want people to be able to make a binary choice about their character’s gender, I wanted to gently challenge people’s perceptions of how girls and boys behave when they are allowed to be themselves.

I thought it was just about as clear as I could make it, and then today saw that Lux & The Shadowmaker had been described as a game about a small boy.

Sigh.
