MVP Demo
Experience: The cave has 3 rooms, each more engaging than the next. The user awakens in a dark room lit by fluorescent crystals and passes through a tunnel to find themselves in the second room which is filled with glowing mushrooms, alien plants, crystals, and cave formations. The user may press ‘A’ to open a door that leads to the 3rd room, where a waterfall pours through the ceiling on top of a golden statue.
