How hot will you let it get?
Plant too little and nothing grows. Cut too much and the planet heats up. Pass 50掳 and it burns.
Plant. Cut. Don't cook the sky.
Planting and cutting sit on a slider: one press, then it runs. Workers take over, from a gardener to a seed rocket, from a gatherer to a logging rocket. Laws and propaganda send people out to plant, or out to cut.
Someone will write to you.
Neighbors, companies, and politicians use the mailbox. Some want a photo. Some want the trees. A little satire, so the run is not just numbers.
Then the game opens up.
Followers can be assigned to professions. Pick a sacred tree. Survive an eco-activist war. Turn wood into furniture and raise the profit. Name the organization, pick a logo, and keep the temperature in check. A good ending is still possible at 45掳, if you mean it.
Why you stay:
Three resources to balance: seedlings, trees, and money
Temperature and CO2. Past 50掳 the planet burns
Two endings. Scorch it, or leave it alive. Then run it again
Prestige, capped at 5. Each one opens a new mechanic
Graphs, a log, story events, achievements, and random events
Animated sun, sky, clouds, and trees
Music that changes with the CO2 level
