Way Out test

Welcome to Way Out, an innovative digital intervention designed to challenge compassionate thinking. In this prototype, you'll step into the boots of a firefighter, an integral part of an elite squad within a vast rescue organization. Your mission: to combat raging fires on a remote island where teamwork is paramount for success. But here's the twist – one of your team members, Ana, appears to be grappling with some apprehension. She's seeking someone to confide in, and with no HR or traditional support structures available, the responsibility falls squarely on your shoulders. The performance of your entire team hinges on Ana's well-being, making your response a pivotal moment in this unique journey. [[Begin conversation with Anna|Q1]] (set: $AnnaTrust to 5) (set: $Report to 20) (set: $Team to 20)

//Section 1// Anna: Sorry, it's kinda hard to talk about. But, the reason I got transferred here... It wasn't the hours. It was to separate me from someone in my old department. He was... he was harassing me. I don't even know how to explain... I couldn't avoid him, and nothing I did made him stop. [[A. When did this happen? Is this still going on?|Q1WrongA]] [[B. What do you need?|Q1Right]] [[C Anna, that sounds horrible. I’m so sorry. Was it rape?|Q1WrongC]]

//Section 2// Anna: I just wanted to say something because I'm on edge about it. I'm gonna run into him sometime, and I don't know what'll happen. [[A: Tell me who it is. I’ll make sure he doesn’t come near you.|Q2WrongA]] [[B: You shouldn't have to go through that. You're better off quitting.|Q2WrongB]] [[C: Would it be helpful if another teammate is with you when we work with that department?|Q2Right]]

//Section 3// Anna: Anyway. I'm gonna have to be around him sooner or later. It would be too obvious if I tried to avoid him, and I'm not the type to hide, anyway. Still, I... I'm just nervous about it, all right? That's why I'm tense when I'm here. [[A: I can cover for you, or at least be standing by if you need me.|Q3Right]] [[B: Just don’t wear anything that implies you are looking to be seduced.|Q3WrongB]] [[C: I can teach you some self defense moves, so you are ready for next time.|Q3WrongC]]

//Section 6// Anna: I just want to //do// something. I let it go on for way too long. It's my own goddamn fault. [[A: Are you sure you told him "no"?|Q6WrongA]] [[B: It is never your fault.|Q6Right]] [[C: You were just among some really bad apples.|Q6WrongC]]

//Section 4// Anna: I wish I could've just shut it down. The first time it happened, I was too surprised to do anything... I beat myself up about that for ages afterward. The next time, I stood up for myself, and told him to stop, and... he didn't. No matter what I said. After that, when it kept happening, I... I didn't know //what// to do. I just froze up. [[A: Do you think you might like him?|Q4WrongA]] [[B: It has to be hard to feel in control in that situation.|Q4Right]] [[C: Were you afraid that you would hurt his ego if you said anything?|Q4WrongC]]

//Section 12// Anna: What about the rest of the team? I've thought about telling them, but... I dunno if I should. (set:$Team to 5) [[A: If you don't tell them, he might go after one of them someday.|Q12WrongA]] [[B: Are you worried about them not believing you?|Q12Right]] [[C: They'll just be worried, and not know what to do. You probably shouldn't put it on them.|Q12WrongC]]

//Section 13// Anna: You get where I'm coming from, though, right? I don't know how they'd going to take it, or even if they'd let it get back to him. I don't know this team that well yet. Can I trust them? [[A: We're your team. Of course you can trust us.|Q13WrongA]] [[B: They probably won't understand.|Q13WrongB]] [[C: I hope you trust us, but you should only share what you're comfortable with. You have to be the one to make that call.|Q13Right]]

//Section 10// Anna: But making a big deal out of it now just feels pointless. I just can't imagine anything changing because of it. In a way, it's like he's already won. [[A. Don't report him. Just tell me who he is so I can beat his ass.|Q10WrongA]] [[B. Tell me exactly what happened, so I know how to help you.|Q10WrongB]] [[C. I’m here for anything you need.|Q10Right]]

//Section 5// Anna: He always pushed boundaries. Not just mine. I noticed it way before he started full-on harassing me. I should've done something to stop it. //Anything,// really. [[A. You know better for next time.|Q5WrongA]] [[B. You're out of danger now. You can put it all behind you.|Q5WrongB]] [[C. It’s not your fault. He shouldn't have done it in the first place.|Q5Right]]

//Section 8// Anna: I do feel... See, I basically dropped it, after I got transferred. But that means he just gets to keep doing what he was doing, pick someone else to target. So, does me keeping my mouth shut kind of make me... responsible? [[A. Well, you didn't make it public, so he'll probably keep harassing people.|Q8WrongA]] [[B. You need to take care of yourself first.|Q8Right]] [[C. Remaining silent only gives him more power.|Q8WrongC]] (set: $Report to 5)

//Section 14// Anna: It's just... I only told a couple people on my old team, but none of them had my back. They told me to keep quiet about it, or that there had to be a misunderstanding. I don't want to deal with that shit again. [[A. Don’t be swayed by their judgment. If you hide this, others will get hurt.|Q14WrongA]] [[B. I understand that.|Q14Right]] [[C. They won't believe you because you kept quiet for so long. Now it'll look like you're just looking for a payout from the company.|Q14WrongB]]

//Section 11// Anna: He might already be doing the same thing to someone else. Kinda hard to shake that guilt. [[A. He is responsible for his own actions. Nothing he does is ever your responsibility|Q11Right]] [[B. It makes sense to feel guilty. You're standing by while someone else gets hurt.|Q11WrongB]] [[C. I understand your guilt. You need to take action against him if you want it to go away.|Q11WrongC]]

//Section 9// Anna: I don't even know why I would bother trying to report him publicly, though. You heard what happened to Maria Lucas, right? She tried to report harassment two years ago, and her whole team froze her out until she quit. Am I supposed to just do the same thing and hope it turns out different? [[A. Reporting abuse is the only ethical action and best way to stop him|Q9WrongA]] [[B. I will support you in whatever you decide to do.|Q9Right]] [[C. Definitely do not report him. It could ruin both your lives.|Q9WrongC]]

//Section 7// Anna: Y'know what the worst of it is? He's the one who harassed me, but //I'm// the one who got transferred. They couldn't make it more obvious that they just want the problem to go away. I got punished for what //he// did. [[A. You're right. That's not fair at all. I'm sorry.|Q7Right]] [[B. The system is broken and there is no hope for justice.|Q7WrongB]] [[C. Well, you were the one with the problem. It makes sense to move you.|Q7WrongC]]

//Section 15// {(if:$AnnaTrust < 5)[Anna: Look, thanks for listening, but I don't want to do anything right now. Keep it to yourself, okay?] (else-if:$AnnaTrust > 9)[Anna: Thanks for listening. It was nice to get some of that off my chest. But I don't want to do anything about it yet. Keep it to yourself for now, okay?] (else-if:$AnnaTrust > 14)[Anna: Thanks for listening. I appreciate you hearing me out. I'll think about what to do next, but for now, will you keep it to yourself?] (else-if:$AnnaTrust > 20)[Anna: Thanks for listening. It helps a lot to know that there's at least one person on this team that I can really trust. I'm not there yet with everyone else, though. Can you keep this to yourself until I decide what to do there?]} [[A. I can't make any promises. I'm not comfortable with lying.|Q15WrongA]] [[B. The team needs to know about this for their own safety|Q15WrongB]] [[C. This story is yours to share|Q15Right]]

''When did this happen? Is this still going on?'' (set: $AnnaTrust to it - 1) Anna: No. He's still attached to my old team, so I haven't seen him since joining you. But it's still bothering me. He's still with the org. I put in a complaint, but the higher-ups didn't do anything. Eventually they just transferred me. //The best response to Scenario 1 is option B: "What do you need?". When someone discloses sexual harassment, it is most important to provide them with a sense of agency and support, rather than trying to gather information.// (if:$AnnaTrust is < 1)[[[Next|gameOver]]](else:)[[[Next|Q2]]]

''What do you need?'' (set: $AnnaTrust to it + 1) Anna: I dunno. I'm just not sure what to //do//. He was sexually harassing me for ages. I put in a complaint, but the higher-ups didn't do anything. Eventually they just transferred me. [[Next|Q2]]

''Anna, that sounds horrible. I’m so sorry. Was it rape?'' (set: $AnnaTrust to it - 2) Anna: Whoa! Can you chill, please? I didn't say that, and you jumping to conclusions isn't making this easier. It was... it was sexual harassment, all right? I just don't know what to do because he's still with the org. I put in a complaint, but the higher-ups didn't do anything. Eventually they just transferred me. //The best response to Scenario 1 is option B: "What do you need?".

Anna: You know what? Forget I said anything. You obviously don't get it, or just don't give a shit. So let's just go do our damn jobs. [[End]]

''Tell me who it is. I’ll make sure he doesn’t come near you.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 1) Anna: No! Don't make a big deal! We can't stop him from coming near me, anyway. We work in the same building. //The best response to Scenario 2 is option C: "Would it be helpful if another teammate is with you when we work with that department?". Instead of telling the survivor what to do or letting your personal bias impact your response, it is best to present the survivor with options so they feel like they have control.// (if:$AnnaTrust is < 1)[[[Next|gameOver]]](else:)[[[Next|Q3]]]

''You shouldn't have to go through that. You're better off quitting.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 1) Anna: It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I'm not about to let //him// win. And anyway why should //I// lose //my// job? I've already lost my team. //The best response to Scenario 2 is option C: "Would it be helpful if another teammate is with you when we work with that department?".

''Would it be helpful if another teammate is with you when we work with that department?'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it + 1) Anna: I don't know. Maybe? Seems kind of impractical. I appreciate it, though. [[Next|Q3]]

''I can cover for you, or at least be standing by if you need me.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it + 1) Anna: Thanks. Having someone in my corner definitely makes it easier. [[Next|Q4]]

''Just don’t wear anything that implies you are looking to be seduced.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 7) Anna: Seriously? You think my //clothes// were the problem? My sexy, sexy twenty pounds of gear? Eat shit. //The best response to Scenario 3 is option A: "I can cover for you, or at least be standing by if you need me". A common myth is that sexual harassment is caused by something the survivor did (like wear provocative clothing) or did not do (like not knowing self defense). It is best to steer clear of these myths and provide the survivor with support options.// [[Next|gameOver]]

''I can teach you some self defense moves, so you are ready for next time.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 1) Anna: Hah! ...Sorry, I'm not laughing at you for trying to help. But you have no idea what it's like, do you? //The best response to Scenario 3 is option A: "I can cover for you, or at least be standing by if you need me".

''Are you sure you told him "no"?'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 3) Anna: //Yes,// I'm sure. But, I don't know. Maybe I needed to be louder, or more forceful. Or I should've just hit him. Gotten myself fired. //The best response to Scenario 6 is option B: "It is never your fault". Survivors of sexual harassment often blame themselves for what happened. It is best to remind the survivor that the no matter what, nothing makes sexual harassment their fault. // (if:$AnnaTrust is < 1)[[[Next|gameOver]]](else:)[[[Next|Q7]]]

''It is never your fault. ''(set:$AnnaTrust to it + 1) Anna: Easy for //you// to say. It wasn't //your// fault. [[Next|Q7]]

''Do you think you might like him?'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 5) Anna: Are you listening at all? Or are you being an asshole on purpose? //The best response to Scenario 4 is option B: "It has to be hard to feel in control in that situation." It is common for survivors to freeze during an attack as a survival mechanism. Letting a survivor know that this response is common and does not make the attack their fault is important.// (if:$AnnaTrust is < 1)[[[Next|gameOver]]](else:)[[[Next|Q5]]]

''It has to be hard to feel in control in that situation.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it + 1) Anna: Yeah. And it sucks. I'm not used to feeling like that. [[Next|Q5]]

''Were you afraid that you would hurt his ego if you said anything? ''(set:$AnnaTrust to it - 1) Anna: Believe it or not, his ego was not number one on my list of worries.

''If you don't tell them, he might go after one of them someday.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 1) Anna: That's true. I don't want to make it worse for anyone else. (set:$Team to it + 1) //The best response to Scenario 12 is option B: "Are you worried about them not believing you?". It is important to remind survivors that sharing their experiences is never a burden and that the actions of their attacker are not their responsibility. // (if:$AnnaTrust is < 1)[[[Next|gameOver]]](else:)[[[Next|Q13]]]

''Are you worried about them not believing you? ''(set:$AnnaTrust to it + 1) Anna: I guess, yeah. It's not that I don't trust them. I just never know how anyone is going to react. [[Next|Q13]]

''They'll just be worried, and not know what to do. You probably shouldn't put it on them. ''(set:$AnnaTrust to it - 3) Anna: That's what I think.

''Don't report him. Just tell me who he is so I can beat his ass.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 3) Anna: Whoa. First of all, if anyone gets to beat his ass, it's me. But more importantly, that's one of those big deals I'm trying to avoid, so sit the hell down. (set: $Report to it + 1) //The best response to Scenario 10 is option C: “I’m here for anything you need.” Because survivors often feel a loss of control of both their body and their life during an attack, the most impactful way to support a survivor is by making it clear they have agency and that you are there for them.// (if:$AnnaTrust is < 1)[[[Next|gameOver]]](else:)[[[Next|Q11]]]

''You know better for next time.'' (set:$AnnaTrust to it - 1) Anna: Next time I get harassed, you mean? Yeah, I guess. //The best response to Scenario 5 is option C: “It’s not your fault. He shouldn't have done it in the first place.” No matter what a survivor did or did not do, sexual harassment is never their fault. You also do not want to imply that there will be a “next time”, nor do you want to encourage them to “put it all behind” them. Survivors need support and space to process their attack in their own time.// (if:$AnnaTrust is < 1)[[[Next|gameOver]]](else:)[[[Next|Q6]]]

''Well, you didn't make it public, so he'll probably keep harassing people. ''(set:$AnnaTrust to it - 1) Anna: That's what I was afraid of... I should've told everyone. But then what? He would've retaliated a lot worse. (set: $Report to it - 1) //The best response to Scenario 8 is option B: “You need to take care of yourself first.” It is not the responsibility of survivors to hold perpetrators of sexual violence accountable for their actions.
