What is The Tipping Point?

This is a single-player 3D side-scrolling platformer set in the Arctic, where climate researcher Cass must escape an ice sheet before it collapses. You jump, slide, and climb to reach abandoned research stations, completing mini-games to collect and analyze data. Comparing your findings with earlier datasets helps you investigate the changing climate.
