No Longer

The Bachelor’s thesis «No Longer» explores the long-term potential of negotiating climate change and ecological sustainability in video games. Drawing on insights and strategies from climate communication, it intertwines emotional storytelling with strategically fast-paced and absurd actions at the gameplay level in this physics-based platformer, in order to create awareness of the impending climate collapse. The main protagonist is a highly elastic polar bear that stretches its way through the melting Arctic as it fights for survival.
