Reclaim the Night Sky.

A location-based ecological RTS where you combat the real-world increase in global light pollution by installing virtual countermeasures in your actual neighborhood.

Gamified Eco-Awareness

Welcome to the Grid, Operator. The world is drowning in harsh, unshielded artificial light. The Bortle Protocol is your tool to map it, manage it, and mitigate it.

Your physical location is your gameboard. Using NASA VIIRS satellite data, we've mapped the real-world light pollution of your neighborhood onto an interactive hex grid.

Bortle 9 Glare

Hover to deploy a Warm-LED Countermeasure. Watch the glare fade and the stars return.

WARNING: The Sprawl

Global light pollution is increasing by 10% annually. If left unchecked, the night sky will be completely erased.

The Threat We Face

Light pollution is not static. Unshielded blue-LEDs and continuous all-night burning are devastating our ecosystem:

  • Wildlife Decimation: Millions of migrating birds are disoriented by skyglow. Nocturnal pollinators suffer from fatal light attraction.
  • Human Health: Blue light artificially suppresses melatonin, disrupting our circadian rhythms and leading to severe sleep deprivation.
  • Energy Waste: Decorative uplighting blasts billions of dollars worth of unused photons directly into space.

Your Tools of Resistance

Tier 1: Solo Tactics

> Deploy Warm-LED Swaps (2700K)

> Activate Shutter Initiatives

> Install Motion-Sensor Grids

Reduce harsh glare and secure your residential zones.

Tier 2: Co-op Infrastructure

> Full-Cutoff Shielding (0% ULR)

> Midnight Curfews

> Albedo Reduction Paving

Target commercial sectors and stop light trespass entirely.

Tier 3: The Umbra Guild

> Earth Night Shutdowns

> Aviation Radar Beacons

> Absolute Umbra Designation

Pool resources with your Guild to enact permanent city ordinances.

The Bio-Tracker & Live Impact

Unlock the Bio-Tracker to scan your restored territories for nocturnal fauna. When you achieve perfect shielding and warm color temperatures, you'll see populations of the Lesser Horseshoe Bat and European Glow-worm stabilize.

The Impact Ledger: Become an Umbra Supporter and your contributions will fund real-world anti-light-pollution measures, documented directly in the game.
