Celebrate Earth with Earth Appreciation Festival 2024! 🌎
In recognition of World Earth Day on April 22, 2024 we’re taking part in a weeklong Steam festival to celebrate the beauty of our green planet, and the marvelous diversity of life as we see it. This year’s selection of games shows off the Earth at its best, and inspires us to protect the environment that we all depend upon. Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life looks forward to finding life in our solar system, but reminds us to treasure the life that we already have here on earth.
With climate change, pollution, overpopulation, and conflict, the future of our planet’s delicately balanced ecosystems is far from guaranteed. Check out the festival to have a look at games offering a glimpse of the dire possibilities that show how much we'd miss our natural world if we lost it forever.

At Auroch Digital we are passionate about fighting the global climate crisis. We've done podcasts, and given talks about these issues and we are passionate about working with partners who care about these issues too. Our partner for Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life is the European Space Agency (ESA) - learn more about this in our Steam post. We recently celebrated some good news from ESA where they are accelerating the race towards clean energy from space.
To hear more about Auroch Digital's views on Climate change listen to our Podcast episode - Games Development and Climate Change | S7 E4 with guests Dr Benjamin Abraham and Steven Webb, we explore why it is the Games Industry is a key component in the movement against climate change.
