Kai UnEarthed is a Meditation on Climate Justice and Unpoliced Futures
You can simulate what it feels like to be an ancestor to liberated young people inhabiting a world 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.
