Additional insights:
Entertainment can serve numerous purposes, aside from distraction and engagement, to aid in coping mechanisms. For instance, immersive experiences can generate a feeling of 'presence', making users feel as if they're in the story, thereby allowing them to temporarily escape their real-world problems[2]. Furthermore, entertainment can also provide a means of reflection and learning, as seen in games like "ProcrastiMate" which address time management and procrastination issues using relatable scenarios[1].
As "Ark" and "JUNG_E" do not necessarily focus on climate change or coping mechanisms, we cannot extract specific insights from these titles. However, when discussing entertainment as a coping mechanism in general, one can notice its potency in facilitating a 'presence' feel, engagement, distraction, reflection, and learning.

Engagement and distraction can also help cope with daily stresses. Moreover, entertainment can foster reflections and learning, aiding in personal growth[2][1].
