Silent Lesson
Silent Lesson
Silent Lesson is a small horror escape game made to raise awareness about Afghan women and girls who are stopped from going to school. It’s a simple, quiet way to think about what it feels like when learning becomes something risky instead of something hopeful.
Silent Lesson was made to shine a light on something very real and very
hard: many Afghan women and girls are not allowed to study, go to
school, or follow their dreams. Something as simple as sitting in a
classroom or reading a book becomes almost impossible for them.
The game uses a horror escape idea — finding keys, hiding, trying to get
out — to mirror the feeling of fear and pressure that can come when
learning is treated like something wrong. It’s not a perfect picture of
real life, but it helps players pause and imagine what it means when
education is taken away.
Everyone deserves the chance to learn without fear.
My name is Ehsan, and I created Silent Lesson because I care deeply
about what Afghan women and girls are going through when they are kept
away from education. I wanted to make something small but meaningful
that could help people feel, even for a moment, how heavy it is to want
to learn but be told “no.”
This game is not just about fear and escape — it is about hope too. It
is a reminder that wanting to study, read, and grow should never put
someone in danger or force them to live in silence.
Thank you for playing, thinking about this topic, and sharing it with
others.
