Floatpoint is a 2006 work of interactive fiction written by Emily Short about a diplomat sent to an endangered colony to discuss evacuation options and terms of cohabitation.

The colonists of Aleheart were originally exiled from Earth for engaging in prohibited genetic engineering.

However, Aleheart is entering an ice age, which will likely make the planet uninhabitable within a few years.

Officially the protagonist's goal is to convince the Aleheart colonists to return to Earth.

Additional motivations including the colonists' desire to not return, and the reluctance of some Earth citizens to accept them give the protagonist difficult choices to make.
