A lost playthrough of Daybreak is brutal.
Frustrating. Maybe because the defeat feels epistemically charged: as if climate futures themselves were lost.
I’m currently working with a colleague on this game in a chapter for an upcoming edited volume on humans, machines & climate crisis. We analyse how knowledge, imaginaries and epistemics are translated into playable mechanics — and what performing the game does to futuring.
Curious: has anyone here played Daybreak / e-Mission?
What did you notice?
