New Blood Entry — Polaris Ustwo Games

Award: Wood Pencil

Ustwo & Play4thePlanet / 2022

Rising temperatures are creating the perfect climate for forest fires to grow in number and duration. While natural disasters are easily pinned as Earth's common enemy, the cause of these is often much more dangerous. As a society we have become desensitised to our hand in global warming. Natural disasters are only weapons we unwittingly use.

Polaris was born as a solution to a clear challenge: to create a game that tackles climate change. An emotive and educational game, Polaris features Roe, a young child who goes on a philosophical journey to learn about man’s friendship with nature from the Forest, the Fire, and the Friend. Set in an immersive world of nature and philosophy, Polaris leaves the Player questioning their motives through insightful dialogue and heartfelt characters.
