Studio Ghibli are a huge ongoing inspiration for this project. Utilising the magic of profoundly executed animation they convey deep menaingful narrative that is easy to digest and absorb by all ages.

The mysticisim and puzzle solving inherent in Labyrinth inspired us to integrate the aspects of this into the game.

The fantastical world Alice in Wonderland integrated with its deep humanistic psychology that drives the story is a huge inspiration for creating a narrative led game.

David Wenzels illustrated version of the Hobbit led us into being inspired to create the physical version of Chrysalis with a more visually led style that we felt was absolutely neccessary to filter into the game. This Gave inspiration as to how we approached the dialogue system within the game and how we framed each of the meaningful interactions

Consequently our influence led us onto discovering a beautifully crisp and dark russian version of the Hobbit from 1976 which in turn inspired some of the more graphically visual approaches to some of our environments.

The constant study of star systems and their effect upon nature and humanity and how we can learn to read the signs became another huge influence for our navigational mechanism within the game.

We are introduced to Mooki, his friends, family and environment via intro cutscene. The player can roam around the monkeys home village chatting with the townsfolk and learning combat and mediation skills that will carry you through your quest. When the player is fully equipped an outro scene shows Mooki accepting his quest as the brave warrior who will return peace and harmony to the seven kingdoms of Soluta. The level ends as we see Mooki traversing into the sunset towards the volcanic island of Root.

In his tyrannical power surge towards Mushroom mountain Kunga has left a trail of wake and destruction in his path. The once peaceful and harmonic environments of Soluta are now in a state of disarray and energy is fading fast. Mooki must find his way to Muladhara, the guardian of the island of Root and help him restore his power so he can return harmony to the island. Mooki discovers the only way he can do this is to locate the places on the island where the laylines overlap and where the last remaining energy of the island can be gathered and returned to Muladhara to restore his power.

Having helped Muladhara bring harmony back to the island of Root Mooki must now venture deep into the jungles of Sacra, the kingdom of birds. Deep at the centre of Sacra is the jewelled temple, the meeting and resting place of all birds from each corner or the seven kingdoms of Soluta and is out of bounds for any other creature. But Kungas destruction has touched even the deepest parts of the jungle including the Jewelled city. Mooki must traverse the outer reaches of the jungle to locate the remaining energies that vibrate waiting for Mooki to collect and deliver them back to the city to restore its energy.

Mooki is washed ashore a mysterious dark island where nothing is quite as it seems. Coming into contact with a variety of seabound creatures that have been stranded on the shore he discovers something dark is bubbling beneath the surface just out to sea.

In Development!

Mooki is at the final leg of his quest having now finally caught up with Kunga and his evil horde of baboons. But he must make haste for Kunga has already began industriously creating a mammoth structure to enable him to reach the top of Mushroom mountain and retrieve the violet lotus for his personal power hungry means. You must muster every means of power and technique that you have learnt along your quest to defeat the evil Kunga and stop him from destroying the seven kingdoms of Soluta.
