thanks:) It has been almost a decade since the release of IEYTD, so super pleased that people still feel this is one of their favorite VR games, it sure is mine, though I might be biased, and the theme song as we were nominated for best song in a game that year at the GANG Audio Awards. Go Team!

Many thanks to World-Voices Organization, Building Doors VO, and NAVA for the group discussion "When Whispers Become Voices: Confronting Sexual Harassment" last evening.
These discussions need to keep happening, as these issues do not just go away if they stay 'Loud Secrets.'.....
