"You drift through a cocoa plantation. You seem invisible, ephemeral, powerless – a ghost. Yet even a ghost may put an end to evil! A breath of wind, a whisper of sound, the chill of an enslaved child – invoked at the right moment – can reveal your past and set her free."
SOS_SLAVES: Changing the Trafficking Game is a social impact game aiming to create awareness among teenagers on human trafficking and modern-day slavery.
"Sobrevuelas una plantación de cacao. Eres invisible, efímero – un fantasma. ¡Pero hasta un fantasma puede detener el mal! Una ráfaga de viento, un sururro, el escalofrío de una niña esclava –invocados en el momento preciso– pueden revelar tu pasado y liberarla."
SOS_SLAVES: Cambiando el juego del tráfico en un videojuego de impacto social que busca sensibilizar a los adolescentes sobre la esclavitud contemporánea: la trata de personas."
