Summary
Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge invites players to collect and photograph various adorable frogs while exploring diverse habitats. Beyond the charming gameplay, the game emphasizes the importance of wetland preservation. Developers Mélanie Christin and Aurélien Condomines of Humble Reeds designed the game to raise awareness about wetlands’ role as carbon sinks and their ecological value. They faced challenges in creating appealing frog characters and integrating environmental themes without complicating gameplay. Inspired by Project Drawdown’s insights on climate solutions, the game blends enjoyment with education on wetland conservation, aiming to foster both fun and environmental consciousness.
