Flag Credit: libertoasz on Reddit

We wish a happy celebration of Aromantic and Asexual folks (And those who celebrate the traditional Aromantic Awareness Week) in the gaming community. We all know there have been plenty of dating sims, RPGs, and other video game genres that haven’t represented either Aromantic and/or Asexual. Folks usually have to Google (or Bing if you prefer) Ace/Aro Video Games to figure out which titles include Ace/Aro themes. Here is a list of resources that we hope you’ll utilize this week if you’re trying to learn more or fundraise!
