what is this game about?
Eco Meme Tournament is a lo-fi, high-emotion game that turns climate grief into viral content. It’s about weaponizing meme culture to confront eco-collapse not with stats, but with feelings, glitches, and absurdity.
Participants enter a chaotic media lab where they absorb meme theory, channel their inner Doomer or E-girl Activist, and remix the ruins of the internet into eco propaganda. Images get ripped, text gets slapped on, and it all ends in a final showdown: whose meme hits the hardest? Whose irony cuts deepest? Whose post will survive the algorithmic wasteland?
Game vibes:
- Fast, messy, emotional
- Anyone can play — no skills, just vibes
- Not about being right, but being real
- Crying is valid. So is shitposting.
This is climate justice as play. Grief goes viral. Impact is memetic.
