Jean Leggett is many things. CEO. Game developer. Writer. Stand-up comedian. Public speaker. Sexual assault survivor. Each has had an effect on the perspective and expertise she brings to her work, but the latter has particularly driven her to find better ways to depict mature content in Shakespeare’s Landlord, a game that prominently features themes of sexual assault and PTSD. This search for sensitive, aware and nuanced ways to capture potentially problematic content is being echoed elsewhere, across the industry, in almost every genre imaginable.
