About This Game

lichtung is a 12-minute VR experience about light, perception, and quiet discovery.

You find yourself in a dark forest only equipped with a flashlight in your hand. What you choose to illuminate slowly comes to life: drifting pollen, floating mushroom creatures, subtle movements in the trees. The forest reveals itself through your curiosity.

The world combines hand-drawn 2D animated creatures with a spatial 3D forest environment. The black-and-white forest gradually transforms as you explore. An evolving spatial soundscape accompanies your journey, growing richer as the world awakens around you.

Features

  • Approximately 12-minute atmospheric VR experience

  • Intuitive one-button interaction: No tutorials or text

  • Hand-drawn 2D animated creatures embedded in a 3D forest

  • Distinct black-and-white visual style focused on light and shadow

  • Evolving spatial sound design that responds to your exploration

  • Accessible for players of all ages and VR experience levels
