About

In this episode, we discuss Ustwo’s 2020  Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, a heartwarming exploration game in which you play a young girl who documents wildlife and strives to save the local nature reserve from being replaced by a luxury hotel while visiting her grandparents. Join us as we explore what Alba has to say about the trade-offs between economic growth and environmentalism, the power of community action, and the role of young people in changing the world. Works mentioned:Figueres, C. and Rivett-Carna, T. 2020.
