“I’ve come across many games focused on the climate emergency. Island Earth Odyssey not only stands out far and above the rest, but promises to be the most beautiful and engaging game I’ve seen to date focused around climate.”
The Premise
Suffering from the climate crisis, an island called Earth seeks a valiant ally to fight for its survival. Braving the dangers of storms, fires, and floods, the game player will determine what plagues the island and acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to restore its beauty and natural abundance before time runs out.
The Problems
There are numerous critical sites on the island that need the player’s immediate attention. When a site is discovered an action globe will appear. That’s when the fun begins.
The Solutions
Clicking on a globe will teleport the player to a stratified Climate Solution Module in another part of the world. Included in this microcosm are project-based adventures, captivating games, rousing YouTube videos, illuminating podcasts, team-building chat rooms, photorealistic simulations, challenging puzzles, artificial intelligence portals, inspiring career paths, and much more, all laser-focused on raising awareness about a specific climate solution.
