Product Description


Product Description
"Grace's Diary" integrates information about teen dating violence into an award winning point and click game. The 2010 winning entry in the "Life.Love. Game Design Challenge" was designed and developed by Hima and is the first game from the annual video game design challenge to be made available on a mobile platform.

In the game, you play the part of Grace who is concerned about her friend Natalie, whose behavior has changed since she started dating her current boyfriend. Grace wants to call Natalie and talk about her concerns, but knows that Natalie won't listen to her unless she has sufficient information to support those concerns. Investigate Grace's room to unearth memories and information in order to make that important call to Natalie. Only if you find sufficient information and make the proper choices will you have a successful conversation with your friend.

"I was surprised how much I learned about my own relationships as well as having some really useful conversations with my family about establishing healthy boundaries." -- Geek Dad

"I approached Grace's Diary quite sure I had never encountered dating violence. But playing caused me to stop and remember back to when I was a teenager, and I realised that wasn't completely true." -- GamePeople

Rated 4 1/2 out of 5 -- JayIsGames

Browser Game of the Week -- GamerzStation

First Place -- Life.Love. Game Design Challenge, 2010

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting and thought provoking little ap August 11, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
The gameplay is simple and the game is quite short. It's plot tackles serious issues unique to mobile aps
I enjoyed playing this but I wish there was a faster way to skip through the dialogue than holding your finger down on the screen. That aside its free and definitely worth a look. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important for Parents September 19, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the most important "game" I have ever seen. Although it does not take very long to play, there is a tremendous amount of information in this game that every parent should share with their child. I have shared it with all three of my sons who are discussing this important topic with their own sons and daughters.

The topic of dating is not an easy one to address with teenagers and this gem of a game does a beautiful job of introducing topics like abuse, control and power dynamics in relationships. It does this while presenting a compelling narrative that is charmingly illustrated. I will be sharing this important game with my patients!
