Astrolabe Interactive's co-op survival game Aloft builds its gameplay mechanics around an environmental cause.
This story is part of our Summer Gaming Marathon series. Aloft gets its name from its floating archipelago, where you are the only people left in an otherwise abandoned world. Like BitCraft, which I previewed during this year’s Game Developers Conference, it focuses on an interactive environment where players have to give in order to get. However, Aloft adds to the world-building with “healing,” which will rebuild and nurture cursed islands.
But the job doesn’t stop there. Players have to further nourish the island by completing tasks on a checklist for each particular one. The UI notes different things players can do to improve the health of the island, like planting trees or introducing wildlife to the ecosystem. Some islands might grow blueberries. Those can then be used to start growing them on another island. Some might also find materials for building and animals that can be raised for resources like milk or wool.
