Educational platforming game

The Tipping Point is a free adventure game by developer Fabula Studios. It is a 3D side-scroller set in the freezing cold of the Arctic. Players will need to navigate through the dangerous pitfalls of an ice sheet before it collapses while collecting and analyzing data along the way.

Similar to Planet of Lana or OPUS: Echo of Starsong, The Tipping Point is a story-driven experience that combines engaging gameplay with an intriguing narrative. Players will need to overcome all kinds of platforming challenges and obstacles to get where they need to be and complete their objectives.

Ice breaker

The Tipping Point takes place in the frozen tundras of the Arctic, wherein you play Cass, a researcher out to collect data and learn more about how climate change is affecting the region. However, you soon find out the very ice sheet you're standing on is on the verge of breaking. Hence, begins a race against time as you escape or get caught in the collapse.

At its core, the gameplay in The Tipping Point is of the platforming variety wherein you'll jump, slide, and climb your way through all kinds of situations. Your other main objective is to collect research data across multiple locations of the large frozen ice. You will then compare it to past data, check for anomalies, and see the changes that climate has had in the region.

Having been made in collaboration with real-world researchers and scientists, the game employs actual scientific methods and principles that you can learn about throughout your gameplay. Speaking of, just know that this is a short experience, lasting around two hours for a full playthrough. It provides a learning platform from which you can educate yourself on the subject of climate change.

Learn and have fun

The Tipping Point is one of those games that tries to be engaging and educational at the same time, and it succeeds in its objective. It makes learning about climate change and how it affects the polar caps a fun and immersive experience. Suffice it to say, it gets a recommendation and if you have a couple of hours to spare, give this one a try.
