Art
The art style is great. Featuring a lot of greenery and earthy colours with a warm colour palette, enhancing the cosy nature theme. The detailed illustration within the mini encyclopedia page is brilliant too, helping players to get a better understanding and identify species. Overall I’d give the art 7/10

The BGM consists of ambient sounds of the birds chirping and surrounding wildlife which immerses the players into the habitat. The calming BGM also is nice and creates a relaxing atmosphere while exploring. Overall I’d rate the sound as 8/10.

The game also features an Index menu, players can scroll through all the species available in the game- viewing the encyclopedia page- which is in alphabetical order.
