As ReSpec has discovered, accountability is a hard journey to take alone. “We’ve had these conversations many times: people want to change, but they don’t know if or how they can,” Lin says. “It seemed like there was a key understanding missing to actually change their behavior, move forward, and grow.”It's hard enough for a victim to disclose just one abuser.

These games are essentially one infinite creative mode where your goal is simply to “make something” to your heart's content.
