The 'Drag Her!' video game has shown off by Fighting Chance Games as a digital pastime that merges the gaming experience of Mortal Combat with Drag Race culture. The game works much in the same way that side-scrolling 2D video games of the past operate, but incorporate drag-themed aspects instead of the usual macho or hyper-feminized details found in other fighting games. The game plays on the concept of battles within drag culture that often focus on verbal wit or lip syncing, but takes things to a more literal point to provide players of all kinds with a distinctly fabulous experience.
The 'Drag Her!' video game is presently being funded as part of a Kickstart campaign and focuses on digital inclusivity to help members of the LGBTQ+ community feel more seen.
