Zoë Quinn

Zoë Quinn is a super smart person who makes video games! They were born in 1987 and are like a wizard with computers, writing stories, and creating fun games. One of their most famous games is called 'Depression Quest'. It's a special kind of game where you make choices that help you understand what it feels like to have tough feelings.

Zoë Quinn didn't just make any game; they made 'Depression Quest' to help people understand feelings that can be hard to talk about. Imagine a game where your choices are about how you feel inside, not just jumping or running! This game came out in 2013 and showed that games can be about important things, not just for playing around.

Sometimes, when people share things online, others can be unkind. Zoë Quinn experienced this when someone wrote mean things about them. Instead of just being sad, Zoë helped start something called Crash Override. It's like a special helpline for people who are being treated badly online, offering them support and help. This shows how brave Zoë is!

Zoë Quinn shows us that making games can be about more than just fun. It can be about sharing important stories and helping people. They are a programmer, a writer, and a helper. Their work reminds us that even when things get tough, we can use our talents to make the world a kinder place, both in games and in real life.
