Stuck in Traffick by kulferlin
When we think of human trafficking, we often envision brothels and sex slaves in southeast Asia. What we don't always realize is that human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in the world, and a part of the problem is right under our noses.
New York has one of the highest trafficking rates in the country. Too often, victims cannot receive the basic medical care and housing they need to start their lives again if and when they escape their traffickers.
The goal of this game is to open the player's eyes to the issue of human trafficking happening in our city, and to motivate more people to donate and get involved in organizations working to combat human trafficking and give victims the care and opportunities they need.
Created for the 2015 Junior Advocacy Project.

It was disturbing and extremely informative. I live in the country, so walking around town at night poses far less of a problem, but my family still feels the effects of this with my mother having PTSD from you-know-what.
I still think that this is an issue that should be further covered in schools, perhaps in health class. Idiot teenagers who are frustrated with their parents for this or that are too quick to say 'I'm gonna run away!'. It should be better known what exactly happens when you do run away, and where all those missing girls on the missing poster in the grocery store exactly are. Who those depressing looking girls in the Mcdonald's parking lot are. Why 'you need to be raped' is not a freaking joke.

Wow.
Just ****ing wow.
I really can't say much without spoilers. I can say this: If it is physically possible for you to do so, play all 3 storylines. If you can only play one, I would play Madison's.
Amazing stories, guys. It's even more heart-wrenching that that's actually happening. Just wow.

this was extremely touching, tears were streaming down my face for a countless time period. the story of madison thompson, the 12 year old girl, broke my heart especially. it really gives a better understanding of how they trick and misinform people in order to have them placed into the prostitution system or lured into cruel/abusive working conditions. written in a way that is easy to understand, informative and emotional. great conveyance of situations in order to raise a point. very well done.

This game doesn't really have any interactivity, but that's what makes it stand out; the inevitability of the situation of each of these females is both repulsive and tragic. When I played this for the first time, I chose Daniela. The story was heavy right from the start, and escalated downward exponentially. However, she appeared to be all right in the end, so how bad could the other stories be? Well, that's the question I asked, and the answer hit me so hard, I flew into next Tuesday. This game pulls NO PUNCHES when it comes to laying down the brutality of prostitution and human trafficking in general. I thought Madison's story was tragic, but Hannah's was depressing as hell, giving the reader no resolution or hope of her ever escaping. Also, you mentioned that this is the kind of crap that actually happens in New York? If so, that pisses me off. Screw making donations to stop human trafficking, I feel like taking a rifle and gunning down those [Multiple Expletives] crime bosses.

Excellent. This game invites the player to portray the minds of the trafficked, while also giving out the information of how much this is an issue in the world. The least to say, fantastic job. This videogame (based on real life) are gratefully given:

This game was incredible. The stories of the women are so carefully crafted and written, and really managed to tackle what has become such a buzzword-issue in an honest, respectful, and accurate way. You used this style of story telling so effectively, as you made the reader try and make the same difficult choices that women in situations like these are faced with every day, without cluttering the narrative and taking the focus away from the characters. The way you were able to so accurately portray the ways in which people find themselves in these situations, the way that abusers manipulate, and the difficult choices left in the hands of victims, was all flawlessly executed. And the inclusion of human trafficking across multiple aspects of life, from the multi-national organized crime story of Hanna, to Daniela's work place experiences, was wonderful to see.
Fantastic work, and with such an important cause at it's heart. You should be proud, and I hope that many, many others explore this as well.
