Through the Fog

In a post-climate catastrophe world, hidden within the unpierceable fog live countless forgotten creatures. Because all sight is obscured, you reconnect with these creatures by way of listening.

Through the Fog is a short collaborative storytelling/worldbuilding game that explores the role of sound in imagining sustainable futures and interspecies communication after a climate catastrophe.

In the game, players encounter several creatures (of their own imagination) surviving, living or maybe even thriving in a world ravaged by rampant extraction. Their main goal is to reduce the amount of noise and cognitive overload in their heads, symbolized by the constantly playing background noise, by reconnecting with the creatures around them and their natural environment.  Players will use creative deduction to try and understand a creature through the sounds they make.

This TTRPG was made in a day for and during the IGDA Climate SIG REGENERATE Game Jam 2026 - We are aware that 'Through the Fog' does not explicitly celebrate a future that is sustainable, democratic and equitable. It does tell the story of a future where people thrive towards a more sustainable, democratic and equitable world. We believe the act of listening is an important element of shaping a better future for our own world as well.
