The narrative in which the young people are immersed is about Lhassa and Feijko, two humanoid robots fleeing from the sinister Moox. They make contact with Earth and propose a seductive deal. In video scenes, they initially solicit trust, but it gradually becomes clear that they too have only one thing in mind: Profit, whatever the cost. A series of tasks and puzzles gradually reveal what the deal is actually about. And in the end, a decision has to be made: Will the students take the deal or not? In the process, they have to negotiate how they want to live on Earth in the future...

Future Calling is an innovative educational game for shaping the future and was developed to promote Future Literacies by Katrin Geneuss in collaboration with the Munich Ecological Education Center.
