Billy Breaks the Rules follows Billy's life in a substitute care family. Even when
it's all going well, Billy has problems to cope with and overcome - like when
he gets caught stealing and gets his pocket money cut. What's he going to
do now?
Working
with a counsellor, carer or teacher Billy Breaks the Rules allows children
to deal with issues they find hard to talk about - in a safe and fun environment.
Controlling the actions and choices of a character in a computer game lets
a child express their own feelings and fears and experiment with choices -
then apply the issues raised to real life.
Billy
Breaks the Rules has 15 scenes with 3 choices in each, 10 different outcomes
with talkabout topics, over 120 cartoon animations, sound effects, high quality
speech, original music and interactivity. Family life issues equally relevant
to children not in substitute care. All printed text also spoken to avoid
literacy problems.
