– Show how the greenhouse affects the player’s life. – Emphasize community action: share outcomes with the community and demonstrate how it impacts the player’s neighborhood.

2. Small Human and Big Tree

The player controls a character who has turned into a tiny size in his backyard. He starts on an adventure on a tree in his backyard, exploring the miniature ecosystem around him. As he climbs the tree, he must complete various tasks and encounter animals affected by climate change, helping them along the way. Upon reaching the top of the tree, he sees factories and smoke in the distance and how they have influenced the environment. Suddenly, he falls from the tree, and when he wakes up, he has returned to his standard size.
This game aims to give players a new perspective on climate change, showing them that even a tiny backyard hosts its own ecosystem. It emphasizes that the effects of climate change are not distant but exist all around us, affecting even the most miniature environments.  At the same time, the game is designed to ensure our target audience enjoys an engaging and immersive gameplay experience.

3. Time Traveler

The concept revolves around a game featuring a two-time-period transition, where the player accidentally travels from a polluted future to “the present,” a time resembling our real-world environment. The player’s actions in the present directly influence the environmental conditions of the future.
The game begins in a dystopian future, where the player discovers an old diary that serves as a time portal. This diary enables the player to travel back to the present for a limited duration during each trip. By completing several tasks, the player can alter the future and improve the state of the Earth.
This game aims to show the possibly bright future if people start environmental protection action.

– Task: Scale down the approach.

– Combine three actions into one, focusing on rewilding efforts. Show their impacts on the future.

– Focus on actions that matter to the community, such as building soil or planting chestnut trees.
