A while ago, a game came out called "A Normal Lost Phone". It was an awareness story-telling sort of game, that covered real world issues, in a great way to show the shit people deal with the early years of their life.
Well, the creators made a new game. This one so aptly named "Another Lost Phone". And it is only the tiniest bit different from my time with the gnome. To the point where I noticed what was going on in the first five minutes, and called every single detail before it was said.
Kitty thought it would act as a mind fuck for me, and if I wasn't so completely over and past that chapter of my life, it might. However, I found it interesting to see how clueless people are to it, unless it's thrown in their face. That I wanted more people to see this game, for the chance to bring more light to how some situations actually go.
That people do get forced and trapped into a home. That they are manipulated into a situation that doesn't allow them to leave even just to take a walk.
That if they do go out, or talk to anyone of the opposite gender, they're cheating.
That asking for anything will get them attacked.
Small things are taken away, like the ability to make plans, or even shower alone.
Secretly, lies occur to destroy the outside support structures, so you have even less place to go.
Any privacy is taken away.
Attempts to manipulate your own body in order to permanently control you.
It's so fucking close to my experiences. It isn't exaggerated for effect. And holy shit, this game should be handed out in high schools, and shown to everyone.
