Sensitivity review for Better Dragons

Strategic Consulting: Cultural & Sensitivity Review

To ensure The Dragon Grasp Project’s complex themes resonated accurately, safely, and respectfully with players, Narratify provided deep narrative consulting and sensitivity review services led by our expert, Jennifer.

1. Impact Awareness & Player Safety

• What we did: Jennifer audited the game's depiction of systemic discrimination, identity, and sensitive social themes.
• The Value: We helped the development studio fully grasp the emotional and psychological weight these topics carry for players, ensuring the game remains an immersive and thought-provoking experience while prioritizing player well-being.

2. Narrative Refinement & Nuance

• What we did: We collaborated with the writing team to review how these delicate issues were framed within the game's world-building and dialogue.
• The Value: By identifying missed connections and adding layers of nuance, Jennifer enabled the writers to elevate their narrative structure, deepening the complexity of the characters and sharpening the game’s core message.
