An atmospheric adventure game with hand-drawn art and immersive sound design.

Mystic Forest is an atmospheric adventure that follows a young spirit guardian navigating an ancient forest filled with forgotten magic and mysterious creatures. The game features hand-drawn artwork that brings the enchanted world to life, complemented by an immersive soundscape that responds to player actions and environment changes.

The narrative unfolds through environmental storytelling and interactions with the forest's inhabitants, with minimal UI elements to maintain immersion. Players solve puzzles by understanding the interconnected nature of the forest ecosystem and the magical properties of various plants and creatures.

I collaborated with traditional artists to develop a unique visual style that combines hand-drawn elements with subtle animation techniques. The adaptive music system changes based on player location, time of day, and story progression, creating a deeply atmospheric experience.
