NoWay! is a narrative video game where every choice matters. Step into the shoes of different characters facing everyday situations where knowing how to react isn’t always easy. Observe, think, decide, and discover the consequences of every decision you make.
Through an adventure that’s accessible to everyone, NoWay! helps you build skills that are valuable in real life.
Because recognising a difficult situation, setting healthy boundaries, or asking for help can make all the difference.

For more than 20 years, Patouch has worked with thousands of young people and adults to raise awareness about prevention and protection in situations involving violence.
Throughout these encounters, one question kept coming back: how could we make this essential knowledge available to even more young people? Our answer was to embrace a world they already know well—video games.
NoWay! is built on our training programme, approved by the University of Lausanne (UNIL), and transforms years of real-world experience into an interactive adventure that’s accessible to everyone. TECFA at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) ensured that the game’s educational objectives are delivered in the most engaging and effective way possible.
Players can try different responses, make mistakes, and start again without any risk. NoWay! doesn’t preach, it creates a safe space to better understand everyday situations, develop critical thinking, and build confidence.
Out of more than 515 projects from around the world, NoWay! was selected as a winner of the Unity for Humanity Award 2026. The award recognises games that use technology to create a positive impact on society.
Presented by the Fondation Dalle Molle, this distinction celebrates projects that put science and technology at the service of people. By recognising NoWay!, the jury highlighted our commitment to using video games as a practical tool to strengthen autonomy, confidence, and the ability to respond to situations involving violence.
To take the experience even further, we’ve created a collection of educational resources designed to accompany NoWay!. These practical tools help turn what players experience in the game into meaningful real-world learning.
Whether you’re a teacher, an education or care professional, a parent, or simply interested in the topic, these resources will help you explore the game’s themes in greater depth and encourage conversations about violence prevention.

Patouch is committed to preventing all forms of violence involving children. Every year, many young people experience violence or abuse, whether as victims or as those responsible. Too many lack the knowledge and skills they need to respond appropriately.
Patouch’s multidisciplinary team of violence prevention specialists played a key role in the creation of NoWay!.
Its psychopedagogy team developed the scenarios and branching choices, drawing on years of field experience to create situations that feel authentic, relevant, and true to life.
Production was led by Digital Kingdom, a Swiss video game development studio based in Vevey. The studio was responsible for transforming the project’s prevention messages and educational content into an engaging game experience, while also creating the world of NoWay!
Sandro Dall’Aglio, an independent game designer, designed and supervised the game’s core structure before supporting the teams throughout development and user testing.
