About
This very short interactive experience is inspired by a true story and addresses the dynamics and consequences of social violence and verbal abuse.
This app is not compatible with mobile devices.
This is not a game!
The core user experience is based on real-life events designed by a group of self-proclaimed elites who weaponize their position to inflict harm on those they deem inferior.
Building invisible glass walls, dividing a group, community or team. Aggressively isolating their prey, causing depression.
While the abusers often continue their lives pretending nothing ever happened, their victims carry the consequences and mental scars, for the rest of their lives.
This virtual simulation is not the worst possible abuser experience. This is just a tribute.
A story of someone who went through social hell while noone supported them against the treacherous and sadistic manipulators. No talking with the victim, just reporting about it behind its back when it tried to reach out for help. Noone wanted to see it. Invisible violence.
"Everything is fine".
Right?
Experience possible outcomes: Learning to survive in such a toxic and dehumanizing environment and staying - or choosing to leave.
Would you have endured this?

In compliance with the imaginary International Abuser Protection Act, this creative project has, to the best of my ability, implemented measures to protect the identities of the abusers.
