Rift Flora

Rift Flora is an Alternate Reality Game themed on natural exploration.

As a pioneer of humanity's future, players traverse through temporal rifts to collect plant samples on present-day Earth, collecting plant specimens to confront an impending extinction event.

This is a redesign of my AR game project from three years ago.

The initial intention behind this project was to awaken people's desire to explore and protect nature through gaming. Existing mobile apps related to nature mostly fall into three categories: plant recognition, nature conservation communities, and outdoor adventures. The users of these apps are generally individuals who are already interested in nature and plants, forming small, loosely connected communities. I wanted to draw more attention to nature, but not in a preachy manner. Therefore, I envisioned creating an immersive game to attract people to explore nature spontaneously, using fun and storytelling. It encourages them to step out of their homes and become natural explorers in urban, suburban, and rural environments. The more they understand, the more they'll appreciate the joy and significance of nature.

Three years later, I find that my original intentions remain unchanged. Through this redesign, I aim to showcase my goals to everyone.
