Full Description
After another decade of inaction, the governments of the world wake up to a planet in chaos. The first impacts of climate change, population growth, resource over-exploitation and species loss have struck and a global organisation has been created to respond. You are that response.
Will you help the whole planet or will you be an agent of destruction?!
Fate of the World is a nail biting set of scenarios covering the next 200 years. At the heart of the game are 10 ‘Masterplans’ where you call the shots for all mankind including ‘Apocalypse’ where the ultimate goal is to raise the planet’s temperature to a lethal temperature; ‘Lifeboat’ where the goal is to save only yourself while abandoning everyone else to whatever catastrophes await them; and ‘Utopia’ where you can try to build a perfect society while battling population growth.
Fate of the World is brought to you by the award-winning Red Redemption team, developers of the the highly successful ‘Climate Challenge’ game played by over 1 million players and receiving global press coverage, and Klaude Thomas AAA veteran games producer of ‘Battlestations: Midway’.
Purpose
Fate of the World has two main purposes:
1. To increase critical thinking about climate change, population growth, resource use, the future of society, Earth and humanity.
2. To prove the commercial viability of social impact games.
