PITCH
In Arctic Samurai you are a superhuman Samurai tasked with cutting down any evil forces that wish to further the spread of climate change. Use your quick reflexes and warrior’s instincts to identify and eliminate all malevolent spirits that threaten the frosty environment of the Arctic. Will you become the radiant hero that your world needs or allow the dark forces of climate change to overtake all you hold dear? With fast paced gameplay and decision making, be sure that your blade reaches its rightful mark.
THEME
In Arctic Samurai the theme of climate change is shown through the presence of “heat” in an environment that should be distinctly cold with no trace or warmth save for the sun. Players learn more about climate change through the lore of the game, its hero, and its antagonists. The light colors of the background contrast with the dark and harsh colors of the evil spirits to emphasize that they do not belong and should be eliminated. The fast paced gameplay shows just how crucial this threat is, even more so than the player might think.
MY WHY
I decided to make a game that focuses on climate change becuase I belive that its an enduring issue that many people don't really think about. Climate change is a real issue that can have disastrous consequences if we don't all work together to prevent its spread. I thought that a game that is entertaining as well as informative would have the potential to show more peolple the dangers of Climate Change and push them to try and learn more.
