About

Climate Stories

Features
Read full description

Climate Stories follows a mother and her young son, Ben, who live in a poor village on the outskirts of a dystopian megacity choked by pollution and heat. When Ben falls ill, they are forced to leave their home and journey into the concrete jungle. Nothing will ever be the same, and with 5 unique endings, your choices determine their fate. Persuasion mode adds a unique layer to the gameplay. In certain stages, you'll need to use your powers of argument to achieve your goals (e.g., you've been arrested and need to convince a guard to release you). Persuade your way to success, but beware, failure can come at a high cost in an unfamiliar city. Climate Stories also features a Your Stories mode, where you can choose the location and the effects of global warming to experience this dystopian future in your own reality. This is made possible through advanced AI techniques and all-around-the-world CO2 emissions data from the US GHG Center. With 26 unique scenarios, spectacular sound effects, a haunting original soundtrack, and breathtaking stories, Climate Stories blends creativity and technology to leave a lasting impact on those who experience it.
