"This Video Game Shows What Sexual Harassment Can Feel Like"

"In most video games, the player's choices determine the ending. In Freshman Year, a short new work by game designer Nina Freeman, your character can wear jeans or a skirt as she prepares for a night out, go alone or with a friend, drink a little or a lot.
