Overview

The Fungal Groves are a vast, alien landscape, where nature and decay intertwine in eerie harmony. Towering, bioluminescent mushrooms dominate the horizon, casting an otherworldly glow over the twisted terrain. The air is thick with drifting spores, some harmless, others inducing hallucinations or rapid fungal infections. The land feels alive—constantly shifting, pulsating, and adapting to those who traverse it. Whether it was always this way or if something transformed it remains unknown.Ancient structures, remnants of past civilizations and failed expeditions, are half-buried beneath the creeping fungal overgrowth. Some whisper of an intelligence guiding the expansion of this fungal ecosystem, as if the Groves themselves are watching, waiting.

Level Moments 

Player has a preview and a goal to explore and reach (Vault entrance)

First moment of level it's to promote exploration (hidden spaces to put a reward) and a vision of narrative/lore moments (Old scifi elements tells that something used to be here for an reason but something hapenning there)

​

Also it' a good moment to introduce an enemy climbing trees or running into the woods

Player find the vault entrance that was previously introduced in a vista
