The Will to Grow address concerns about the way we plant our trees and our lack of an attempt to sustain the ones that already exist. While this version of the game focuses on the example of the vulnerable Dragon's Blood Tree of the Socotran Archipelago off the coast of Yemen, it is meant to represent one of the many stories where trees are planted and tended improperly, as they should be planted with biodiversity in mind and should not be cut (and especially not burned) to the ground with no plans to replant. We have made this game to show how it is not the fault of humans but it is the fault of some of the tools we've created, and that humans must use their will to change their ways and help the earth grow and thrive with the help of trees.

I think the idea is there but doesnt seem clearly enough put as of now. The movement and the attack systems seem well constructed things just need a bit more polishing especially theme wise. really interesting whats here so far though!
