Umfeld

Umfeld powerfully highlights the effects of domestic violence. It gently confronts players with various situations in which, as friends and acquaintances of both the victim and the perpetrator, they must decide how to act in each scenario, demonstrating just how much influence the social environment actually has on the course of the story.

Particularly impressive is the combination of sensitive handling of the subject matter, opportunities for further reflection and targeted game mechanics, which make it clear that sometimes more is needed than just the good intentions behind an idea. Hand-drawn illustrations and an appealing graphical interface make effective use of the limited possibilities of a browser game.

A prime example of how playful learning can offer alternative approaches, particularly to such a challenging subject area.
