Overall game concept

A third-person, healing, and relaxation-focused game set in ancient China. The game features a rich narrative with linear storytelling. Describes how characters meet the Kunpeng, begin their journey, and overcome each barrier. These barrier encourages freedom of attitude, acceptance of change, and power of ambition. The game incorporates elements of Chinese mythology, folklore, and history. (The Kunpeng is a mythical creature in Chinese mythology, known for its vast size, incredible speed, and transformative abilities. It is said to be able to transform from a fish, the Kun, to a giant bird, the Peng. This creature is often symbolizes the human capacity for change and the journey of self-discovery.) This game will be presenting it through vibrant visuals on environment, atmospheric audio, and engaging gameplay mechanics such as puzzle-solving.
