Short description
Enter a calm and unfamiliar world, lying dormant as you arrive. As you explore its surroundings, the world gradually opens up, revealing its light. The more you engage with it, the more you become enveloped in a soothing yet lively awakening, full of surprises.
About this game
lichtung is a 12-minute VR experience about light, perception, and quiet discovery. You find yourself in a dark forest only equipped with a flashlight in your hand. What you choose to illuminate slowly comes to life: drifting pollen, floating mushroom creatures, subtle movements in the trees. The forest reveals itself through your curiosity. The world combines hand-drawn 2D animated creatures with a spatial 3D forest environment. The black-and-white forest gradually transforms as you explore. An evolving spatial soundscape accompanies your journey, growing richer as the world awakens around you. Features Approximately 12-minute atmospheric VR experience Intuitive one-button interaction: No tutorials or text Hand-drawn 2D animated creatures embedded in a 3D forest Distinct black-and-white visual style focused on light and shadow Evolving spatial sound design that responds to your exploration Accessible for players of all ages and VR experience levels A Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg production Game Director: Aria Wolf Assistant Director & Level Design: Janina Zlotos Game Designer & Programmer: Sam Matsa Technical Director: Jakob Bock Producer: Cyril Fischer & Christoph Mohr Art Director: Maksym Gontov Animation: Vadim Ivanov & Maksym Gontov Additional Animation: Sofi Shapir & Nike Weber Audio Direction: Tristan Steinmetz Music: Clemens David Krauß & Constantin Rinke (Samples unterm Sofa) Sound Design: Tristan Steinmetz & Armin Biemel & Dominic Häberer Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, home to the Animationsinstitut and the postgraduate programme Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris, is one of the world's leading film and media universities.
