Dys4ia is a microgame video game developed and published by Anna Anthropy in 2012-03-04 as a free browser game. It was programmed in Flash.
The game tries to capture what things are like for a person trying to get hormone therapy as they transition to female. It does this by having the player move through various scenes, each designed as a microgame.

Good
- The game takes you through the difficulties faced by a transgender person, the various stages they have to go through during the transition process, and tries to capture just how difficult it can be.
- Some of the pixel art looks really good.
Bad
- Because it's little more than a brief series of microgames, the game will be over in only a few minutes no matter how good or badly you do.
- As is common with most games based on microgames, they're incredibly simple. Usually, microgames become more complex as you progress, but these stay simple the entire time. I get that the game's primary goal is to tell a story, and not become a challenge, but I would still like more complex game play.
- I found the spoken sound effects to be a bit annoying.
Ugly
- Nothing.
