With this project I attempted to recreate an area in New Zealand that I'd been to a few years ago, using photos I took as a visual reference. The scene is explorable from a first person perspective, with an expansive map that allows for some scenic viewpoints and hidden areas.

This game has an important focus on atmospheric exploration and immersion. Use the game menus to customize the scene's lighting and switch between your choice of soundtrack. Dim the lights in your room, turn up the volume and explore the scene at your own pace. This game can be fully explored in about 15 minutes or more.

Donating $2 or more will give you access to a rebuilt version of the scene in wet weather, allowing a different feel/atmosphere. I created this after the full version of the game was built, and was surprised at how well the lighting/rain work with all the elements in the scene. I'd almost consider this the definitive way to experience the game, thanks in advance if you choose to try this out!

Thanks so much for playing/downloading!
I made this entire project on my own in unreal engine 4 with borrowed assets from various sources, including the Unreal Marketplace and Quixel Megascans.

If you can't donate, checking out my socials helps just as much. also it'd be great to hear feedback if you have any!
