Kai UnEarthed is a Meditation on Unpoliced Futures Healing from Climate Change
You can simulate what it feels like to be an ancestor to liberated young people inhabiting an Earth healing from climate change. You can imagine and make contact with them through a paper journal, an interactive visual novel with multiple endings, and a videogame world. As you chose how the story unfolds, you can:
- fall in love with your crush
- go through a coming of age ritual
- explore the reclaimed ruins of an abolished youth jail
- go on a psychedelic journey imagining the volatile final decades of the Capitalist Era, as seen through the eyes of the revolution's children.
The game is a playful journey through writing and drawing activities, psychedelic 3D scavenger hunts, and embodied meditation practices. It is a quest to become a wildtender: someone who heals the relationship between humans and more-than-human beings. These activities prompt you to reflect on the choices you make, the artifacts you leave behind, and the worlds that will grow out of them.
