Hello, my name is Matteo and I am a very serious game designer.
Here’s what I actually do: PLAYABLE SYSTEMS.
Mostly for policy co-design and climate action.

Yesterday there was a massive outage in Portugal. No power, water, internet or phone signal from 11h30 to 00h30. We were prepared.
What better time to crack open our copy of Daybreak, a co-op game about dealing with climate change? We finished it by candlelight, and won!
