Stars vanished from the sky and scattered across a perfect endless wetland... Catch bugs and chat with many characters while playfully wandering through peaceful scenery. But don't lose sight of the night sky, the constellations need help!
The core of the experience revolves around capturing various creatures, including bugs, frogs, and other small animals, using the player's bug net. Each type of creature exhibits unique behaviors and spawns in specific locations, requiring players to carefully approach and time their captures. The creatures can become alerted to the player's presence, adding a layer of challenge as players learn to outsmart their targets.
Players are free to wander the expansive, procedurally-generated wetland environment, exploring diverse biomes with their own visual styles and creature populations. The responsive movement mechanics, including the ability to quickly bunny hop, facilitate this open-ended exploration. Without a map or waypoints, players must rely on their own sense of discovery to uncover the secrets of the marsh.
Scattered throughout the environment are a variety of interactable objects and elements. Players can skip stones across bodies of water, build snowmen, plant flowers, and more. Many of these interactions provide temporary gameplay effects, such as increased movement speed or jumping ability, encouraging players to experiment and observe the results.
The overarching goal is to restore the fallen stars to the night sky. As players capture creatures, they can use them to construct constellations, unlocking dialogue and interactions with the celestial entities represented by these star formations. This collectible mechanic provides a meaningful progression system, with each new constellation adding to the player's understanding of the marsh's mysteries.
