Escape from Tox City
Escape from Tox City is an interactive commentary on toxic masculinity and bullying in online gaming inspired by my experiences as a female gamer in a stereotypically male realm.

This game specifically features the constellations found in the northern hemisphere. Class: Traditional Communication Studio, Spring 2018 Professor: Christian Dunn
