Gaming against Domestic Violence
summary
A chat‑style game called Hannah simulates Messenger conversations to train friends to spot and support victims of domestic violence, using real‑time choice nodes that reward supportive language and rebuild trust. Backed by Curtin University research, it targets Australia’s 1 in 3 (physical) and 1 in 4 (emotional) statistics, models safety planning, acknowledges repeated leave attempts (seven to eight on average), and aims for iOS/Android release mid‑late 2018.
