Games Like Lithium

In Lithium, you play as one of three social groups of your choice – Activists, Locals, or the City – who mobilize against a planned lithium mining project in Cínovec, Czechia. The developer seeks to start mining quickly, regardless of the locals’ interests. You aim to halt this project and initiate a debate about a just and environmentally friendly solution.

Investigating lithium mining in Czech Cínovec and the global context of energy transformation is the central theme of the new ecogame Lithium, developed by the art Blue Pulsar kolektiv for the exhibition Symptoms of the Future at the Hraničář Gallery (September 2024—February 2025).
