Unlocked doors: the trans glitch in Kitty Horrorshow's Anatomy.

This article analyzes the 2016 video game *Anatomy* by trans developer Kitty Horrorshow, focusing on its use of glitches as a "trans mechanic of speculation" that disrupts conventional gameplay and narrative structures. Unlike typical "walking simulators," *Anatomy* employs glitches to destabilize the game's haunted house setting—an architectural metaphor for the body and normative gender—thereby creating a non-linear, fragmented experience that resists coherent interpretation and linear progression. Drawing on trans and queer theory, the article argues that these glitches function as sites of trans possibility, offering alternative pathways and speculative spaces that challenge binary gender norms and the notion of the body as a fixed "home." Through its cyclical, deteriorating gameplay and refusal of embodied player perspective, *Anatomy* enacts a form of trans worldmaking that emphasizes indeterminacy, structural critique, and the potential for transformative reimagining beyond normative constraints.
