Nature reclaiming civilization
This includes in-game scenarios in which civilization has declined or ceased to exist and its remnants are reclaimed by nature, e.g. animals and unchecked plant growth. This can be a defamiliarizing moment and help address presentism, i.e. the disproportionate focus on the (exceptionality of the) present circumstances, possibly coupled with the belief that these circumstances will not significantly change (at least not during our lifetimes). However, it also risks becoming stale through overuse if it is not incorporated in novel and surprising ways.
