Why am I playing as a girl unpacking my room? :D

Mario: Why am I playing as a plumber in the Mushroom Kingdom?
Metroid: Why am I playing as a bounty hunter on the planet Zebes?
Halo: Why am I playing as a Spartan on a ringworld?
Doom: Why am I playing as a space marine on Mars?

It's a game, and it needs a setting and a main character, that's why.

Take it as an opportunity to understand how a lot of women live, and how they navigate fitting into a world that usually doesn't prioritise them.
