PROJECT DETAILS

BRUSHFIRE

BRUSHFIRE was made as an educational experience in order to spread awareness about climate change. Play as Reini, an apprentice guardian sent to protect the Canadian boreal forest from unnatural wildfires and a growing storm of destruction. It asks players to pay attention, to feel what it means to lose something precious, and to come away with a renewed appreciation for the time-sensitive nature of climate action. Even if you can't save everything, you can be the beginning of change.
