DEV NOTES: As this is only a prototype run, there many things that seems slightly incomplete and didn't function quite well as I'm still learning to program and exploring Unity. This is the first game I ever did myself and I'm pretty excited to share the outcome nevertheless~ I apologized in advance if it's cause inconvenience during your playtest, I'll try to improve! (˵ •̀ ᴗ •́ ˵ ) ✧ Have fun!

p/s- Just skip the download payment thingy, this is a free game prototype! Though any donation is greatly greatly appreciated (〃´𓎟`〃)❀ Thank you for your support!

= BACKGROUND STORY =

In the world of Terra, there are 2 realms in its universe. The realm on the ground is called Tropo, while the realm on high sky is Strato. Land of Tropo is quite an adventurous realm with different ecologies, geographical structures and climates. Tropo also contains various species of creatures but less developing than Strato. On the other hand, Strato is a kingdom that built on the clouds and has a well-planned government system that has already been develop since time immemorial.

As such, these 2 realms are being hold by one huge tree called, The Great Yggdrasil (Tree of Life). This tree is the core balance of the realms. The Yggdrasil’s roots spread across Tropo’s ground. For millennia, there is one tradition that has been practiced by the creatures live in Terra; the roots’ energy needs to be replenished annually to keep the tree alive and preserved. However, it is only dwellers from Strato that has the ability to do so. Nevertheless, the only way to get the natural energy is by gathering it from the vast land of Tropo itself first. Prophecy has said that, failure in maintaining the roots will cause a calamity to the whole universe and all live will be in great danger.

Hence, the kingdom of Strato established “Safe-keeper of Yggdrasil” (S.K.Y.), a specialized unit to descend on Tropo in duty to take care of the roots. The selected S.K.Y. members are tasked to carry out the duty every year. This time around, Soru (the main character of the game), is chosen for this expedition. And so, the first place that Soru descended in Tropo is Vita Forest, known with its mystical nature and terrains to be explore. From then on, Soru’s journey as a Safe-keeper of Yggdrasil begins.
