An Educational Simulation.
RULES: From the start screen, players can choose one of three 'crystal balls' to look into the future of animals, forests, and the skies, respectively. Players then interact with each respective screen and engage in simple visual simulations of humanity's current projectory.

STORY: For the animal story, many species have already become extinct; eventually, the only animals left will be the lucky few species who have been chosen for either domestication or consumption. Wild, exotic, and 'unnecessary' animals will cease to exist since humans feel no need to protect them. For the forest story, players may choose a 'watering can' to see forest growth or an axe to see the effects of deforestation on Earth. Finally, for the sky story, players create clouds of pollution by dragging their mouse across a clear city sky; they also watch as trash fills the ocean. All of these simulations aim to educate humans on their environmental footprints and encourage players to act prosocially in the future.
