About: 

A 3D exploration adventure game about adapting to the needs of our world and each other. The game was created for the 2020 Climate Jam.

Sonia and her trusty cat Tobes are two renowned adventurers from the village of Popa. When deadly red hurricanes attack their world, Chief Karn sends Sonia and Tobes on a mission to speak with the people and animals who live in the jungle, beach, and snowfields outside their village. By talking with the outlanders, Sonia and Tobes unlock the secret to saving the world.

UPDATE: This game is currently a work-in-progress. We will continue updating the project and upload new builds intermittently.
