阿提瓦座落在非洲迦納東南方一帶，由帶有平坦頂峰的陡峭山丘所組成。一個絕大範圍都是常青的森林保護區，也是許多瀕危物種的家園。然而，伐木業和盜獵還有開採黃金甚至開採鋁土礦業都給保護區帶來很多破壞。在此同時，在附近的奇比鎮，市長因為在自家果園提供庇護所給數量龐大的果蝠造成當地不小的騷動。這個人意識到果蝠對於森林砍伐區有多大的價值：果蝠白天睡覺並在日落時出發尋找食物，為了合適的食物會飛到將近60英里外。牠們在飛行返家過程中會排泄出吃過的水果種子，散佈在廣大的區域：一個數量達150,000隻的果蝠族群每年可以重新造林達2,000英畝土地。

就如同那個市長一樣，在遊戲中，你會在阿提瓦附近的區域發展一個小社區，為新興家庭建造房子並分享你所得知關於挖礦負面影響的知識，還有果蝠對於環境的重要。獲得新土地，管理你的動物與資源，讓你的社區蓬勃發展。最終在社區發展與環境保護取得最佳平衡的玩家獲勝。

The Atiwa Range is a region of southeastern Ghana in Africa consisting of steep-sided hills with rather flat summits. A large portion of the range comprises an evergreen forest reserve, which is home to many endangered species. However, logging and hunting for bushmeat, as well as mining for gold and bauxite, are putting the reserve under a lot of pressure.

Meanwhile, in the nearby town of Kibi, the mayor is causing a stir by giving shelter to a large number of fruit bats in his own garden. This man has recognized the great value the animals have in deforested regions of our planet: Fruit bats sleep during the day and take off at sunset in search of food, looking for suitable fruit trees up to sixty miles away. They excrete the seeds of the consumed fruit, disseminating them across large areas as they fly home. A single colony of 150,000 fruit bats can reforest an area of up to two thousand acres a year.

Just like that mayor, in Atiwa, you know that fruit bats — once scorned and hunted as mere fruit thieves — are in fact incredibly useful animals, spreading seeds over large areas of the country. By doing so, they help to reforest fallow land and, in the medium term, improve harvests. This realization has led to a symbiotic co-operation between fruit bats and fruit farmers. The animals are kept as "pets" to increase the size of fruit farms more quickly. Tall trees are left as roosts, providing shelter for them rather than hunting them for their scant meat. However, if you have a lot of fruit bats, you need a lot of space...

In the game, you will develop a small community near the Atiwa Range, creating housing for new families and sharing your newly gained knowledge on the negative effects of mining and the importance that the fruit bats have for the environment. You must acquire new land, manage your animals and resources, and make your community prosper. The player who best balances the needs of their community and the environment wins.
