Terminus

ongoing

Fight in a flooded future to gather wealth to ascend to the fabled Terminus, where richness and trouble-free life presumably awaits, in this turn-based RPG about climate change, second hand economy and consumerism selfishly destroying the world for the future generations. Terminus is a condensed, modular, replayable RPG for PC and Consoles, with a run-based structure and a runtime of 1,5-2 hours. A game about mankind's struggle to climb from the depths of poverty to reach a seemingly utopian society, while battling with choices between altruism and egoism. Do you take the selfish path for quick gains and luxury, or do you sacrifice your own comfort or safety, to help others in need? Can altruism become a “path to victory” or is selfishness an inherent aspect of achieving happiness? The game highlights the cost that comes with satisfying only your own needs, and how those needs can be exploited by people in power through small doses of luxury - thus creating structures of inequality that are masked as a system of fairness. Terminus tells the cautionary tale of a world in which excessive consumerism has led to a dystopian future, where pollution and greed has brought humanity to its knees. The game has clear parallels to ultra capitalism and financial exploitation in pyramid schemes, which highlights the tragedy of what could have been if only mankind was more adept or willing to share the resources and possibilities inherent to their home planet and race.
