Humanity is Doomed: Steam's Most Depressing Game

The end is nigh: It's becoming increasingly hard to deny that fuel resources are running low, global temperatures are rising and population growth is spiraling out of control, and little is being done to stop our slow march to oblivion. But can a game educate people about the dangers of rapid climate change? Can it help predict what will happen over the next 200 years? And, most importantly, can it still be fun?

Fate of the World tries to do all that, and, while the game's long term side effects still remain to be seen, it sure is a fun title - albeit a sobering one. To learn about the game, its scientific basis, plans for an upcoming iPad version, and, of course, the end of the world, we talked to Ian Roberts, the creative director at Red Redemption.

Love it. Can't wait to try it.

doctorstrange4655d ago

Really good game, even if it's based on the fact that we're screwed.

BigWoopMagazine4654d ago

Luckily the actual screwing of the world will likely occur long after I die anyway... yaaaay I don't have to face reality, woo!

Sev4655d ago

Definitely sounds cool. And bleak.

Trexman894655d ago

oh boy, Game Revolution calls out the Daily Mail and Fox News by name....this game is sure to be labeled as evil, now.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii5d ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo5d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows905d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19894d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus4d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha5d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno5d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan5d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno5d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19815d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6694d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19814d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Why Are Steam's Recommendations Dogpoop?

Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm

Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
