Goal: I wanted to create a refreshing, open-world feeling experience in a 'magical forest' setting. I have not seen many first-person collect-a-thon games so I also wanted to find a good balance between discovery and entertainment, while also retaining a connection to the environment.

Because of the goal to have a relaxing experience, I designed gameplay mechanics of picking up fallen statues to represent cleaning the forest and visiting shrines to pay respect.
