The goal of the game is to convince three people not to kill themselves. As a player, you interact with them, choosing the advice you believe will help them most.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a simple game but it offers a surprisingly intense experience. It might be useful as a way to combat suicidal thinking. It could \u00a0also be a tool for stirring compassion and teaching us the importance of listening.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it was a chance to get it right, to save three imaginary people from taking their own lives and breaking innumerable imaginary hearts. It was comforting.<\/p>\n<p>You can play the game <a href=\"http:\/\/sunil-rao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inner-Vision.swf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
