"This serious game is inspired by a training manual for the Child Soldiers Initiative Romeo Dallaire . This manual aims to help maintain the peace forces to communicate with the child soldiers without causing confrontation. Although some differences between theory and practice remain, the developers have designed this game so that an expert can create new scenarios more complex and realistic ."
