Carbon Dream$ Land

Carbon Dream$ Land is a satirical co-op VR game for up to four players: a serious game about climate change, set in the most absurd amusement park of the future, complete with oil slides, coal carousels and greenwashing as the main event. As customizable robots, the team fights its way through the fossil-fuel madness, topples gigantic oil towers and recycles their wreckage into wind turbines, all leading up to a showdown with Donnie Dino, a fire-breathing tyrant with a golden tie and his own propaganda TV studio. Instead of dry lecturing, the game relies on irony, environmental storytelling and distinctive Quill art. With this project, Pixelcloud beat hundreds of international submissions and was the only German studio selected for the EU’s EMIL XR funding. Developed over 15 months by around 20 creatives, with support from the Skopos Institute, Aalto University in Helsinki and Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. Available for free on the Meta Quest Store and SteamVR.
