Natura Humana

Nature is not allowed to grow over our streets. It must not cross the boundaries of a field and is not allowed to bear its fruits in our gardens. Our Natura Humana, the nature of our daily lives we like to see, grows along with us and adapts by listening to our demands. The Natura Humana grows in its own way, in straight lines following its predetermined path with only small allowances for greenery to ever so slightly flourish. 

The story of Natura Humana is about spatial planning in the city of the future. In this scenario, a data-driven city has evolved into an A.I.-governed metropole where streams of data autonomously regulate the city. Throughout the game, the player experience these influences that the A.I. has over the city and it’s cizitens, as you are an employee of this vast A.I. system. As the story progresses, the main character collects insights for the city, revealing different perspectives of the inhabitants and how they themselves would like to change the city to their own liking.

How would you walk this city? Do you choose to save the parks, or do you provide yourself with a luxurious home when given the chance? And how do you think the city itself will respond?
