This is a short little video game about three aliens on a dying world. It’s creepy and surreal in some ways, but it works as a metaphor for hope - it is something that I keep returning to with anxieties related to climate change.

Our three different aliens’ lives are dedicated to caring for children, learning new things, and personal expression through a game. Our scientist character accidentally triggers an apocalypse, and the world starts falling apart.

The beauty of the game is that the characters keep going. The last little “obstacle” course you do in the game has world bending black holes in it - you’re even told it’s dangerous but your little bug insists on playing anyway. What does it mean to “win” when the world is ending?

Like - there is no happy ending. The world will end, everyone dies. But while everyone is alive, there are things to do, thing to enjoy, things to celebrate.
