Drag attack

Drag Attack is a single-player beat 'em up game built for PC. Players take on the role of Chicago drag artist Molly Jolly Christmas, as she fights to stop the evil president Billy the Bigot from passing HB69, a bill that will ban drag once and for all. With mechanics inspired by classic games in the genre, and the addition of drag-inspired actions like purse smacking and gown spinning, the game provides a cathartic outlet for queer gamers who are ready to fight back against hateful rhetoric and legislature. Enemies are based on proponents of anti-drag legislation, such as conservative-leaning members of the LGBT community, politicians with morals sold to the highest bidder, and national hate speech groups. Levels are based on real-world locations like the city of Chicago, IL, and the states of Texas, Montana, and Florida, giving players a direct look into at-risk queer spaces across the United States. The game critically examines how hateful rhetoric is dispersed, normalized, and enforced. It also shows the loving support of the queer community and drag defenders, giving strength and inspiration to those on the front lines. In addition to the obvious goal of having fun and kicking ass, Drag Attack also aims to inspire players to support their local drag scene and offer direct ways to get involved, mainly by donating to the ACLU's Drag Defense Fund. Can Molly Jolly Christmas slay the hateful Billy the Bigot before it's too late?
