Narrative and Worldview
(Story Setting) A mother who passed away due to illness had her soul transformed into a jellyfish and was trapped in the deep sea because of her obsession with her family. She must traverse the darkness and let go of her obsessions in order to return to the cycle of rebirth
(Worldview Construction) The part about the ocean draws on the structure of the deep sea in "Subnautica", while the concepts of plot and soul are borrowed from the animated film "Song of the Sea". After getting advice in class, I went to watch "Journey", a film that uses camera movement and the application of light. Later, I will refer to these contents to design the map, as well as the introduction and decryption of the contents. If in the future it can be designed as an online game, expanding a larger map and world view, I would be very
Story setting
After her death due to illness, her soul transformed into a light blue jellyfish and fell into the endless deep sea. Her obsession with missing her husband and children prevented her from entering the cycle of rebirth, allowing her to wander at the bottom of the dark sea. She followed that familiar light, constantly traversing the maze-like abyss, encountering countless souls bound by emotions, and these souls, after liberation, headed towards the cycle of rebirth. Every fleeting moment is a fragment of memory and also an opportunity to let go. Ultimately, she realized that the light did not come from afar but from the inner release. So, she turned into light and left. Her soul, like the tide, follows the path of light towards an unknown vortex. They walked side by side, not knowing whether it was reincarnation or destruction in the vortex, but they had long let go of the past and no longer lingered.

Plot story
Chapter One: Ah! What is this? It’s like something that belongs to me. I seem to remember now. I have family and children. I’m going back! This shouldn’t be where I came from. Maybe I can go back by following that light.
Ms. Sea anemone: Don’t worry, child. You’ll know the answer. After passing through this crevice of the stone, there will be difficulties and obstacles. Whether to stay or leave is entirely up to you. But be careful. These memories can help you find yourself while also leaving you confused. Those who are out of the group will also be attracted to you. I can’t leave and can only pray for you here
Chapter Two: Is this another Memory? Is this me? Why am I here? All I can think of is my daughter and my family. They must be waiting for me!
Chapter Three: I… I’m already dead. That’s impossible. I’m still alive, aren’t I? Where are my hands? My feet! No, what am I?
Mysterious npc: This is your soul form. The power of your soul is entirely created by your own will. If you want a pair of hands, just imagine them and you can get them. Of course, if you can’t control the form you created, there is a high possibility that you will become an outcast
Chapter Four: Who Are You? A conch?
Mysterious conch: Oh! Hello, please don’t come near me.
Protagonist: Are you an outcast?
Mysterious Conch: I don’t know either, but it should be.
Protagonist: Then why do you still keep your sanity
Mysterious Conch: Not all outliers lose their minds from the very beginning. During the period when they become outliers, they can still recover with light. Could you give me a fragment of your soul? As a repayment, I can help you.
Mysterious conch: Oh, thank you so much. I’ve regained my radiance. Let me do you a favor
