Finistère
Finistère
Finistère is a satirical climate crisis game made for the playdate and its unique controller interface, the crank.
As a forest craftsperson you must manage your forest. But time is of the essence.
The climate crisis has become an ordinary part of our lives because of government inaction.
Finistère plays on the individualistic framing of climate action as a lifestyle choice, rather than the scale and urgency of the climate crisis which calls for "rapid and transformative change" (IPCC 2015) and systemic action.
Finistère will be available while in development and released for free here on itch.io (playdate required), all the source code is also released as free software.
Finistère was made by Adam Procter (Concept, Design & Art Work, Code hacking), Mathew Louis Parker (Design and Programming) and RogueKenshi (Music / Sound Design) and all our test players.

Abstract
Finistère is a satirical climate crisis game made for the playdate and its unique controller interface, the crank.
As a forest craftsperson you must manage your forest. But time is of the essence.
The climate crisis has become an ordinary part of our lives because of government inaction.
Finistère plays on the individualistic framing of climate action as a lifestyle choice, rather than the scale and urgency of the climate crisis which calls for "rapid and transformative change" (IPCC 2015) and systemic action.
Finistère will be available while in development and released for free here on itch.io (playdate required), all the source code is also released as free software.
Finistère was made by Adam Procter (Concept, Design & Art Work, Code hacking), Mathew Louis Parker (Design and Programming) and RogueKenshi (Music / Sound Design) and all our test players.
