Shape of the World: Ephemeral Exploration Game
Shape of the World is an ephemeral first-person exploration game on Play Station 4, developed by Hollow Tree Games. The game features a procedurally populated environment where the world dynamically grows around you as you explore. The main focus is on intentional wandering, getting lost, and the satisfaction of finding your way back. Your presence shapes the evolving environment, allowing you to leave permanent markers along your journey.
Drawing inspiration from experiential games like Proteus and Flower, Shape of the World eliminates points and combat, focusing solely on providing a serene and immersive experience. The game encourages players to explore an evolving world that unveils new surprises with each step, guiding them towards distant landmarks. Shape of the World caters to players seeking a unique and quest-free adventure in a beautifully crafted environment.
