# **A student team project designed to deliver a ~10 minute experience. Shroom Bound is a cozy third-person 3D platformer. You play as Nova, an intrepid explorer sent to investigate a mysterious power source hidden deep within an alien world. This strange planet is shaped almost entirely by colossal, interconnected mushrooms that stretch into the sky, forming a natural playground of platforms, paths, and secrets. Traversal is the heart of the experience, and every jump matters. To navigate the terrain, Nova relies on agility, careful movement, and the Device of Teleportation (D.O.T.), a throwable tool that lets you bend space to reach new heights and unexpected locations. By combining jumps, thoughtful movement, and clever use of D.O.T., players will learn how to read the environment and chart their own routes across the fungal landscape. As you explore, you’ll uncover hidden paths, solve traversal challenges, and gradually piece together the mystery behind the planet’s power source.
