With the help of the form of an interractive storytelling, we want to expand the effect of the novel.
Immersion in the problem through the game form makes more gentle impact on the psyche of a socially vulnerable group.
We want to give clues on how to act and help a young person who finds themselves in such a terrible situation, how to interact with this person, and how to talk about the violence.

Warum sollte jemand dieses Projekt unterstützen?
Violence targeting children can manifest in various ways, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as neglect or deprivation. These acts of violence can occur within different settings, such as homes, schools, communities, and even online. According to WHO data in 2022 child abuse is often a hidden phenomenon. Only a small number of abused children receive support from medical professionals. International organizations estimate that, on average, around one of four girls and one of six boys worldwide experience some form of sexualized violence before they reach the age of 18.
Was passiert mit dem Geld bei erfolgreicher Finanzierung?
At the moment, we have implemented a demo version of the game, which you can download here. We are currently seeking funding for the full version, comprising 14 chapters in total. The estimated cost for each chapter is approximately 5,000 euros.
It's very important to us that the game remains free for everyone, with no hidden purchases or internal advertising.
We want to make a safe and non-toxic application, which will be pleasant to interact with, despite the complex and important topic.

Warum zahlt das Projekt auf dieses Ziel ein?
The game exposes the often concealed problem of sexualized domestic violence, emphasizing the vulnerability of both girls and boys. By citing international statistics, we underscore that sexualized violence against children is a global concern. The game encourages proactive action, providing guidance on how to help those in distress, contributing to a gender-sensitive response. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to reducing domestic violence by creating a safer environment for children.
