Environmental issues such as pollution, climate change, deforestation, and excessive waste have become major global concerns, yet public awareness and understanding of sustainable practices remain limited. Traditional awareness campaigns often fail to engage the public in meaningful ways that encourage active learning and reflection. Therefore, an interactive and engaging approach is needed to help individuals better understand the impact of their actions on the environment. This project introduces Save the Earth, an educational game designed to raise environmental awareness by placing players in different real-life scenarios related to environmental challenges. Through a visual novel–based gameplay, players are required to make decisions when facing issues such as waste management, energy consumption, pollution control, and environmental conservation. Each level presents a problem where players must choose appropriate actions, and their decisions will lead to different outcomes. If players make incorrect decisions, the game will display the consequences of those actions along with informative messages that explain the environmental impact. This allows players to learn from their mistakes and encourages reflection on how everyday decisions can affect the planet. The main objective of the game is not merely to win but to develop awareness, critical thinking, and responsible decision-making regarding environmental sustainability. By combining interactive storytelling with problem-solving elements, Save the Earth provides an engaging learning experience that helps players understand environmental issues and motivates them to adopt more sustainable behaviors in real life.
