    Players become 'Pacheon,' a hero who solved Earth's climate crisis with a fan recreating the principles of the Basho fan. Intoxicated by his success, he travels to other planets in climate crisis and arbitrarily 'saves' them by wielding his fan, even though they never asked for help. This interactive game twists the historical complex surrounding the birth of 'Korean painting' and the structural similarities shown by current 'climate colonialism' into a cosmic black comedy.
