Evergreen Falls

Not far from the bank of the Murray-Darling waits your oldest friend, a magnificent river red gum that you once played beneath as a child. It has long provided a shady respite during the hot summers, enjoyed for generations by people and animals alike. But recent disruptions in the ecosystem have threatened your friend's health and it has begun looking more sickly with each passing month. A real-estate magnate has set their sights on the area and with it, the increasingly unstable river red gum. They've threatened to cut down the tree for "safety" and build swanky riverside hotels in its place. To protect the tree, and the life it supports, you've returned on an urgent mission. In Evergreen Falls, use whatever tools you can find to revive the tree, before it's too late and all the leaves are gone.

Theme

We represent the theme 'count down' in Evergreen Falls by using falling leaves to symbolise the life left in the river red gum. You can extend the count down (i.e. slow down the loss of life) by taking actions to protect the tree but even if you win this time, the count down goes on. The end will come, it's just a matter of when.
