Boys Laugh + is a creative duo based in Germany. We love narrative games and make visual novels with a focus on well thought-out stories and meaningful player choices.

Inclusivity and LGBT+ themes are always a part of our projects and we aim to create original games that take the player on an emotional journey they won't soon forget!

Boys Laugh + was founded in the summer of 2018 by Felix and Rohan. The name is an incredibly clever pun on 'boys love' or 'BL', a genre of Japanese media featuring romance, often between handsome young men, which targets a female audience. Although not exactly part of the female audience, Felix and Rohan appreciate good queer stories written with empathy. The 'boys love' genre was their first topic of discussion of many to follow about narrative games and depictions of romance and sexuality.

With due respect to the original genre, they discovered that it could benefit from an upgrade. The duo wanted to produce queer content beyond a gendered target group. Like the '+' behind LGBTQIA, for them, the '+' became a symbol of inclusivity.

As BL+ Felix and Rohan want to create interactive experiences which address diverse audiences as well as represents them. Luckily, the range of skills, each of them has, complements the team perfectly for this ambitious objective.
