What it is The media often talk about sexual harassment, especially at this time in France with the introduction of a new law about it. But do you know what can be termed sexual violence? This is a serious Canadian game, "What It Is ", which proposes to help you better know this scourge. Tricky.

With a title for the less explicit , the game What it is - A digital game challenging sexual violence is part of a real sad fact: some people are victims of sexual violence without knowing the fault to a total disregard of their events. Worst victims of the environment can not properly react when faced with the problem .

To remedy this, the game presents its users for educational quiz content developed under the auspices of METRAC , a community organization that fights against violence against women, youth and children. The player is thus confronted throughout his adventure in a series of scenes (park, canteen, party ... ) in which it moves and speaks with NPCs. Each conversation takes the form of a quiz and if unfortunately he ticks three wrong answers , it's game over.
