We are excited to announce the initial release of “Climate Survivors” concept demo, an innovative game that combines action-packed gameplay with climate education.

About Climate Survivors

A game to compact climate change

Climate Survivors challenges players to fend off waves of monstrous climate hazards, such as droughts and floods, which symbolize the threats posed by the climate crisis. As the in-game carbon counter rises, the intensity and difficulty of the game increase, reflecting the growing urgency of global climate action. Players must use strategy and skill to survive until the year 2100, all while making choices that affect carbon levels and the game’s difficulty.

Educational Impact

This game is more than just entertainment—it serves as a tool for educating players about climate change and the importance of sustainable practices. Through its gameplay, Climate Survivors introduces players to a range of climate solutions, from renewable energy to sustainable food production. Each decision made within the game has a direct impact on the environment, offering a unique way to explore the consequences of different actions.

Early Access and Feedback

This early demo release is available for Windows and Linux, giving players a first look at what Climate Survivors will offer. As we continue to develop the game, we value community feedback to help refine and expand its features. We encourage players to share their thoughts and ideas, which will play a crucial role in shaping the final version of the game.
