Missing: The Complete Saga is in the final days of its Kickstarter campaign to raise money for a different kind of game. It’s about the experience of being a victim of child sex trafficking, something that happens every 26 seconds around the world.

This indie game comes from Leena Kejriwal, who has been working for a decade in an effort to stop sex trafficking of little girls in India, and game studio Flying Robot Studios in Kolkata, India. The idea is to use art and technology to drive social change, and it is part of a greater movement to make Games For Change. An estimated 2 million girls are trafficked for sex every year.
