This is a coming-out story about a boy that has to make two life-changing decisions. Is he going to keep quiet and not tell his family about himself, whilst betraying his friend, or is he going to come clean and defend his friend? Either way, there are consequences he may have to face. 

The outcomes of this game are based on statistics from various studies.
