It appears that one of the educational games published by our nonprofit program, Gaming Against Violence, is not appearing in searches now.
Stuck in a Dark Place is a game designed to teach young people about the meaning and importance of consent:
"This narrative-based game covers many different aspects of consent through eight chapters. [...] Stuck in a Dark Place includes discussions of non-consensual sexual activity including assaults."
This, and several of our other games, are played in classrooms in conjunction with the free lesson plans we have published for use by educators.
Although the game is rated "T" (ESRB) and "12+" (App Store) we added the "NSFW" label on itch.io to avoid re-traumatizing those who have previously experienced trauma. We take a trauma-informed approach to game production and provide content warnings on our games whenever applicable. Marking it as "NSFW" is just one way we strive to avoid creating harm. This is clearly not an adult game.
As with all of our games, it is also free.
