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.

Finistère will be launched at The Winchester Gallery (Winchester, UK during the exhibition of "Ordinary Things"  on from November the 2nd to the 25th 2023 . 

Private view welcome drinks and such will be  held on Tuesday the 7th of November at 17:30 UK time. The exhibition was curated by Louise Siddons,  Professor of Visual Politics at Winchester School of Art, and Head of Department of Art & Media Technology which is part of the University of Southampton.

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.
