Uuugh

Would you recognize when someone is manipulating you? Especially if they intend to commit (sexual) violence? In Uuugh – False Play, you become the main character – but in a completely different way than you might be used to: you take on the role of the perpetrator. What may sound unusual at first glance has an important reason behind it. You learn how perpetrators act in the context of (sexual) violence, how they manipulate, isolate, and make people dependent - and that's exactly what helps you see through such strategies more quickly in real life. You learn how perpetrators use manipulation, emotional blackmail, and isolation in a targeted way and can answer the following questions: How do perpetrators act? How can I recognize perpetrator strategies? What can I do to protect myself and others? The game is easily accessible and free of charge. Who is the game designed for? For young people aged 12 and above (especially in youth clubs) who want to understand how perpetrator strategies work. For anyone who doesn't just want to watch, but wants to find out for themselves how manipulation arises. And for anyone who wants to protect themselves and others in real life better. The game can be played independently (even without a club context) or as part of guided group sessions. The idea was developed and implemented by the working group “Knowledge Transfer, Dissemination, E-Learning of the Clinic for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychosomatics, and Psychotherapy” at Ulm University Hospital in collaboration with “Greater Games” led by Prof. Dr. Greta Hoffmann (Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Cultural Studies, Cologne Game Lab).
