A VR experiential game dedicated to recreate the symptoms and experiences of veterans with PTSD. 




PREFACE


In the stories of war, we often remembers those actions of soldiers on the battlefield, but we forget that their fight doesn’t end when they come home. Veterans face many challenges, from physical injuries to mental health struggles, and they need our support just as much after their service as they did during it. Ignoring their care is like leaving a job half done.






It's important that we remember their sacrifices and make sure they get the help they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives after their service. Taking care of veterans is just as crucial as any part of the war itself.

Air Force veteran KJ Becker of Fowler, Colorado, links fireworks to past service trauma—sonic booms in 1995 and months of gunfire in Saudi Arabia. Unpredictable neighborhood fireworks trigger panic, rapid breathing, and shaking. To cope, she masks noise with fans and speakers and asks for advance notice to prepare.
