Survive the Century is a branching narrative climate-fiction game about the political, environmental and social choices humans will face between 2021 and 2100 as we adapt to the ravages of climate change. This game is a work of fiction, but it is informed by real science.
The player of the game is the editor of a popular newspaper and chooses headlines that influence public opinion and political responses to climate change, that include a green recovery from COVID-19. The player’s choices shape the future, and they’re able to read the news that results.
Created by best-selling author Sam Beckbessinger in collaboration with climate scientists Christopher Trisos of the Climate Risk Lab at the African Climate and Development Initiative and Simon Nicholson of the American University School of International Service, the game aims to show players that there are steps we can take to mitigate global heating and ensure an equitable, green future.
