Description

Military culture – Combat trauma – Sexual violence

A collaborative freeform storytelling game where players work together to describe the experience of a single female soldier serving active combat duty for the US military.

In the game, players work in the round to describe the life of a female soldier through five collage-like “scenes”, each exploring a theme that is likely to shape her experience of duty. The game is intentionally non-immersive, scenes are contained and non-linear, and ownership of the story is shared to allow the players to investigate difficult themes (combat trauma, sexual violence, rape, recovery) with a bit of buffering distance.
