The premise of this game is simple, yet disturbing. You play as a teacher who is discretely given access to the private phones of every student in the school to prevent bullying. Every day is spent with you looking through each of the student's texts and social media accounts to help them solve their problems. These text messages are portrayed with an actual phone interface.
