Garbage Beach

This game was incredibly well done with what it was trying to do, I love the 90s pc vibe it has especially with the cutscenes, they’re very reminiscent of old pre-rendered fmvs. It has a message and a theme that isnt really present in a lot of pro-environmental art, a lot of it is just really watered down “hey lets pick up rubbish and that’ll solve everything”, but this game really goes to show how pointless it can feel and how that apathy and nihilism can build up over time to make it feel like none of it is worthwhile. also points out the pointlessness of what he’s doing in the first place, because even if he was to do 100kg a day it wouldn’t add up to a lot because he’s the only one doing it. This is a really powerful game and its done a lot better than “we can fix everything by recycling occasionally” and it also criticizes the pointless bureaucracy that just prevents people from doing what they can. The way he wonders if he’s also adding to the problem, while also being the only one who cares about fixing it, is also really powerful. At the end of the day a lot of people who are against the establishment and want society to function better are also a part of society, because the alternative is deemed illegal.
