An explorative game about culture and folklore. You play as yourselves who are transported to a new world with no other people in it. Even though you bring nothing into the new world, your culture perspectives and biases persist. It is an important lesson to reflect upon, as many popular fantasy settings in fiction do contain cultural biases that may be harmful, but not immediately obvious to the audience (and perhaps even the authors themselves).
