About A Thousand Cuts
A Thousand Cuts ("ATC") is a provocative, thoughtful, texting game created by writer and game designer Elizabeth Ballou.
This early edition version was a winning game in the 13th Annual Life.Love. Game Design Challenge presented by Jennifer Ann's Group.
ATC explores how campus culture impacts a pair of university students, Rosa and Olivia, going through their school's Title IX process after they realize they've been assaulted by the same man. This narrative-driven game has been praised for its "great story" and "excellent writing."

ATC allows the player to safely experience the Title IX process and see how Rosa, Olivia, and their friends are affected.
