About this game
Do you have what it takes to save the planet? Beecarbonize is an environmental card strategy game with climate change as your opponent. Research cutting-edge technologies, enact policies, protect ecosystems, and modernize industry to cut down carbon emissions. Manage your resources well and you might survive.
ACCESSIBLE, BUT COMPLEX SIMULATION
Will you favor industrial reforms, nature conservation or people initiatives? There are many ways to solve climate change and reduce pollution. But saving the planet is not an easy task. The more carbon emissions you produce the more extreme events you will have to deal with.
STEER SOCIETY & INDUSTRY
You have to balance the power-generating industry, social reforms, ecological policies and scientific endeavors. Will you transition from fossil fuels as fast as possible? Or will you focus on carbon capture technologies first? Experiment with new strategies and don’t be afraid to start again.
235 UNIQUE CARDS
Game cards represent inventions, laws, social advancements, or industries - each designed on the basis of real-world climate science. In addition, partially randomized world events occur, forcing you to adapt your strategy. Gradually unlock new cards in the game encyclopedia and chart your path towards a new future.
IMPACTFUL EVENTS, HIGH REPLAYABILITY
The world of Beecarbonize reacts to your actions. More emissions mean more floods or heatwaves, investing in nuclear power raises the risk of a nuclear incident, and so on. Learn more with each run and you might overcome environmental catastrophes, social unrest, and even avert the end of life on earth.
Beecarbonize is a strategic challenge that lets you experience phenomena shaping our everyday lives hands-on. Just how many seasons can you last?
NEW HARDCORE MODE
We are introducing Hardcore mode, the ultimate challenge in Beecarbonize for experienced players. In Hardcore mode you will face the harsh reality of climate change. Can you defy the odds and save the planet even in this extreme scenario?

I think I found a bug on the PC version, but I'm having issues posting on Itch and Steam. In hardcore mode, the peak emissions aren't saved properly when you return to the menu and resume. They keep going down, and don't actually record the highest emissions level you hit in that playthrough. The best you can tell is whether you hit any tipping points, since the lightning card icon disappears if you pass them.

Awesome game. Very polished visuals, gameplay feels great, and the amount of different cards makes it feel like you could play it many different ways. I beat the normal mode my second try and I beat the hardcore mode my fourth try. Seems like the only thing to keep doing after you have beat both modes is to try and get all 6 endings. I wish there was more to do, maybe even harder modes or some type of simulation that makes you change up your strategy according to some world event or time period

Thank you very much for the positive feedback! Unfortunately, with the resources we had for the game, adding many more features simply wasn't possible.

Neat game, could definitely be harder though. I beat it on my first run in 113.8 turns with -15 emissions per turn for much of the ending, 0 unresolved disasters, and an overabundance of resources. Maybe if the game forced me to take cards that I had to work around, like a temporary war industry card or a baby boom population card, it might have been harder, but just heavily investing in science/environment works. I never made any duplicate cards, but it might've been even easier if I did.
