Flooded Folds
Watch our trailer:
Flooded Folds is a cozy 2.5D isometric puzzle game about folding paper to reach the evacuation zone during a flood. The game educates the player about the hazards they should avoid during this kind of disaster. This information is particularly relevant against the backdrop of climate change, which is making floods more frequent and expanding their possible range.
This game was created over the course of 2 months as part of the University of Florida (UF) Cross-Cultural Engineering in Japan program. The environments take inspiration from the UF students' travels in and around Kyoto, and much of the information present in the game was provided by Kyoto University Graduate Students doing research on disasters.
