Nevergreen

Nevergreen was created for Climate Jam 2025 by IndieCade. https://itch.io/jam/climate-jam-2025 

Created by Two Weeks Studios.  

A gloomy day in the office turns into a very long night after a higher-up at a very big company gets rained in due to a big storm outside. A mysterious stranger visits the higher-up in the night, leaving him a flash drive containing a digital card game to play to help pass the time. With nothing better to do, the higher-up inserts the flash drive into his computer and opens Project Nevergreen on his computer, a deck-building roguelike, and battles against nature’s strongest elements. Nevergreen is a roguelike deckbuilding game focused on card combat. There are various ways to construct and use your deck to take on nature. Nevergreen is a commentary on how the consumption of resources by corporations is slowly killing the Earth as many of these resources are finite. There is an overlapping commentary on greenwashing which is the deceptive practice of making misleading claims about the environmental benefits of a product, service, or company to create a false impression of environmental responsibility. We hope this game can make players understand the consequences of overconsumption as well as how "environmental responsibility" is often overshadowed and overlooked in the name of profiteering.
