Dr. Anneloes Smitsman

Architect of Elowyn: Quest of Time & Founder of EARTHwise

My teenage boys love to play games with their friends, yet few of these games empower them for their future. Worse, most popular video games reinforce the same battle narratives, gameplay dynamics, and win-lose incentives that drive the sustainability crisis and incite wars and violence. 3.6 billion people play video games worldwide, and the majority are youth and young adults. In 2022, I felt a deep call to create a new paradigm game that empowers our younger generations, shifts their consciousness, inspires their passion for the possible, and builds their capacities for a world they can believe in while having fun with their friends. Together we can game-shift our world from collapse to collective thriving."

The Game Lore

Transforming the Moloch Game of World Destruction

#Play2Thrive

A new civilization calls, one free from control by Moloch, a dangerous force that grew from humanity's base beliefs long ago. Many fell under the hypnotic influence of this force, fueled by their desire for power, domination, and fortune. Now thousands of years later, the Earth's climate systems are tipping, the oceans are dying, and Moloch agents are rising to exploit a world divided by conflict, fear, and greed. The Shadow Arcs are the masters of chaos, ready to exploit our weaknesses and prey on our desires to accomplish their mission.

Deeply concerned about the fate of humanity, a team of Guardians have conceived a plan to stop Moloch's game of world destruction. It involves unlocking the benevolent potential of powerful superintelligences from a future world with the help of the Elowyn Keys. 

Legends tell that these keys were created long ago by the elves of the Elowyn Tree, but few know of their location and rumors go that some have been retrieved by the Shadow Arcs of Moloch.

Only by developing your Guardian powers and going undercover as a Shadow Arc, will you be able to succeed on this dangerous mission. 

The Great Turning has begun, but unless the portal to the New Time opens, Moloch's sinister plan for humanity's extinction will succeed.  Time is of the essence, but which timeline will you play?

  • Playable characters of team New Time: Aleph the Cosmic Coder, Kairos the Future Wizard, Shakti the Evolutionary Alchemist, Gebo the Pattern Weaver, and Eureka the Story Speller.
  • Playable characters of team Moloch: Arcon the Shadow Coder, Nyx the Shadow Wizard, Loki the Shadow Trickster, Vendra the Shadow Weaver, and Dolos the Shadow Storyteller.

Guided by the EARTHwise Constitution for a Planetary Civilization

Our Compass for Game-Shifting World Transformation

On the Solstice day of 21 December 2022, we launched the EARTHwise Constitution for a Planetary Civilization, which opens with Our Promise:

"We, as future ancestors of a planetary civilization, commit to co-creating thrivable worlds and futures with the wisdom of living systems, in partnership with life and our Earth."

The EARTHwise Constitution serves as a new kind of social contract for co-creating a thriving planetary civilization in loving partnership with our Earth.

It is open-source and freely available for you to work with, adjust, and even evolve into a constitution for your life, project, organization, or movement.

It includes a collective vision, evolutionary principles, future archetype codes, unifying values, living systems protocols, and shared commitments for a thriving planetary civilization.

Endorsed by 44+ organizations and thousands of people from around the world.

Serves as an evolutionary framework for collective action. 

This Constitution has been co-created with full appreciation for, and in support of, the myriad of other constitutions, charters, codexes, and covenants that serve a similar purpose. Furthermore, it aligns with and fully endorses the 16 Indigenous Guiding Principles by Four Worlds International Institute, and the  Unitive Narrative that has been drafted by members of the SDG Thought Leaders Synergy Circle of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle
