❤ Game Concept

This online world lets players inhabit animals in an expansive, interactive landscape. Unlike traditional games, players focus on social exploration rather than combat or survival.

❤ Core Gameplay Mechanics

Choose from nine animal species like badgers, lynx, and eagles. Communicate exclusively through 90+ emotes, symbols, and animal sounds. Navigate a 10-square-kilometer map with diverse terrains including snowy mountains, foggy swamps, and river valleys. Discover and collect "essence" fragments hidden across the environment. Eliminate traditional chat interactions.

❤ Exploration and Interaction

Traverse intricate landscapes with terrain-specific challenges. Leverage unique animal abilities (frogs swim rapidly, eagles soar freely). Encourage collaborative play through multi-animal obelisk unlocking challenges, spontaneous group expeditions, and emergent social connections.

❤ Progression System

Collect puzzle pieces and rare flowers to unlock 60+ animal skin variations, additional expressive emotes, and alternative animal characters. Bonus content rewards players owning previous Shelter series games.
