[Rerun] Nominee: Honey & Hot Wax: An Anthology of Erotic Art Games

Presenting the 2020 IndieCade Nominees: Honey & Hot Wax

An anthology of tabletop roleplaying games and LARPs themed on sex & sexuality. Some of the games focus on discussing the role of sex in society, while others explore how sex acts can be used as game mechanics.

The games:

In the Clefts of the Rock
A surrealist game about touching each other’s bodies as explorers while imagining them to be other, fantastical worlds.

Follow My Lead
An exploration of kink and negotiation where you play dominants and submissives searching for your ideal partners by leading them blindfolded through space.

Feeding Lucy
Based on the novel “Dracula.” Play Lucy (whose body and desires are policed by society to be “pure”) or Dracula (who, in feeding off Lucy’s latent desires, seeks to help her free herself to join the creatures of the night).

The Sleepover
Play as adolescents learning and sharing knowledge about sex, sexuality, and gender. Explore how you take what you’ve heard from others and figure out what is true for you.

Pop!
Play as people who love and have sex with balloons. Build community and culture in cyberspace!

The Echo of the Unsaid
Two ostensibly straight college boys explore sexual tension and possible romantic attraction. You tell the story of sex by not talking about it, letting silence speak volumes.

You Inside Us
A romance for two people in one body. Play as a human host and the alien symbiote living inside them, sharing their senses. Learn new ways to touch and feel, letting yourselves blur together until it’s hard to say where one ends and the other begins.

Pass the Sugar, Please
Strangers meet for afternoon tea only to realize that they hooked up with someone there at a secret BDSM party. Can you convey messages about your intimate experiences using only descriptions of the food?
