Stuck in a Dark Place: A Serious Game About Consent
Stuck in a Dark Place is an educational game developed by THE JENNIFER ANN CRECENTE MEMORIAL GROUP INC., focusing on the critical issue of consent. Through eight chapters, the game delves into various scenarios, including unwanted touching, exhibitionism, intoxication, marital rape, underage or statutory rape, workplace sexual harassment, and the distribution of nonconsensual sexually explicit imagery. By presenting these scenarios in a storyline format, the game offers a comprehensive understanding of consent.
One standout feature of Stuck in a Dark Place is its Lesson Mode, enabling users to choose specific chapters for classroom discussions. This functionality makes it a valuable resource for educators seeking to facilitate conversations around consent in an educational setting. Despite potentially distressing content, users can utilize the CONTENT WARNING setting to skip over more troubling scenes. Moreover, the game is part of the Gaming Against Violence program by Jennifer Ann's Group, a nonprofit charity known for effectively engaging, educating, and empowering young people on serious issues impacting adolescents.
