Management game with 0 waste objective, or city builder in reverse – a question of point of view -, Terra Nile is a unique proposition in the video game landscape. Putting the player in the shoes of an ecological manager whose mission is to return the fauna and flora to an environment free from any trace of human passage, the Cape Town-based studio Free Lives plays here 100% the card of environmental awareness. Terra Nile was awarded the Unity Award for Best Social Impact Project on November 20. On this occasion, the studio specified that more than $100,000 was donated to Endangered Wildlife Trust, a non-profit organization whose objective is to preserve the fauna and flora in the South and East of the African continent.
Peace, love and CO2 levels
Terra Nile is already available on PC, MacOs, Linux, and iOS and Android via Netflix. Free Lives announced that the software will make the grass greener on Switch on December 18 via a newly posted trailer. The port should be a carbon copy of the original game, with a procedural generation of biomes to be revitalized by creating environments adapted to local animals and plants. Currently, more than 300,000 players have already been seduced by the eco-meditative approach of Terra Nile. The management game should be on sale at the price of 24.99 euros on the Nintendo laptop, the price it displays on other platforms.
