TIP: My favourite play through involves giving yourself a massive bonus, repressing your emotions, and trying to stay in the wild as long as possible. Hey, I'm Oli Frost, lead game designer of Asset Manager Quest, and creator of several 'renowned' Product Hunt services such as Flopstarter and Lifefaker. When people ask me to describe the game, I start by mentioning the size. This game is bigger than Balfour's Gate 3, and far less interesting, You can join secrets covens, fight undead horses, and enter celestial realms… But the most important thing you can do is stop investing in the companies that continue to expand fossil fuels. The game’s graphical capabilities may be somewhat dated, but no more so than abrdn’s disastrous investment strategy. Abrdn is investing over $3.6 billion in bonds issued by fossil fuel expansionists. It's one of the few European asset managers that still hasn’t published a coal exclusion policy, and is overall the 4th most exposed asset manager to fossil fuel bonds. And not only does it do little good for limiting warming, but it also makes no sense for their business. For life on earth, it's a problem. Research shows that new fossil fuel developments are incompatible with keeping warming under 1.5c. For business it's not good either – as the world moves on to renewables, its assets in fossil fuels will become stranded. But the new CEO has an opportunity to turn their fortunes around. If you can do it, they can too...

Just tried out Asset Manager Quest; I adore the pixel art style used in the realization of the game, and I could absolutely relate to the raised topic. Thank you for bringing this important message out to the world, @olifrost !

Hey Oli, Asset Manager Quest sounds fascinating and incredibly relevant! The blend of gameplay and environmental awareness is a brilliant idea. One suggestion: highlighting the impact players can have on real-world issues, like fossil fuel investments, might further engage and educate them. Kudos on creating a game that's not just entertaining but also thought-provoking. Keep up the great work!

@hakz That's great feedback, thanks! Our focus has mainly been on reaching employees and leadership at abrdn (we're taking the game in an arcade cabinet to their offices this week). Good luck with your launch.
