The Game
So what’s it all about then? Footprint sees you taking on the challenge of cleaning up planet earth before time runs out.
It won’t be easy, and you’ll have to pick from the latest technologies wisely. Whether it’s a new train network, fields of solar panels, or even humble vegetarian food – they all have their part to play in reducing earth’s pollution.
The final twist? Just like real life, no one can win without bringing everyone else with them.
