How does your concept engage in the jam's themes?
Charlie, the AI in the game, is telling you a narrative that you should just sit tight and ignore the forest fire. You change the story by using Climate Change information to escape.

Use of Theme / Inspiration
Charlie, the AI, acts like a surrogate to folks who may deny the threat of climate change. Engaging with an AI - I think will make each player's experience different, which makes me excited. I like the idea of having to vocalize your views/perspectives as a mechanic and being challenged to wrestle with climate change data.

I'm a fan of escape games and so I'm quite curious of how you will bring the theme through the puzzle. If done well the back and Forth with the AI could be quite fun.
