#Game Concept & Art Design

Beings is an experimental digital game that challenges players to explore the world through the perspectives of nonhuman species. The game visual be tuned to mimic the world in other species eyes to offers an immersive narrative that encourages players to rethink anthropocentric thinking.

“众生” 是一款实验性数字游戏，挑战玩家通过非人类物种的视角探索世界。游戏的视觉效果模仿了三个非人物种的视角，提供了一种沉浸式的叙述，鼓励玩家挑战以人类中心的思维模式。

In 'Beings', the game’s core mechanic involves unexpected transformations, where players shift from one species to another at random moments. These changes are not just cosmetic; they require players to adapt to new abilities and perspectives that belong to each creature.

在 “众生” 中，游戏的核心机制包含了不可预料的变身，即玩家在随机时刻从一种物种转变为另一种物种。这些变化不仅仅是表面上的；它们要求玩家适应每种生物的新能力和视角。

The game employs body-tracking to allow players to use their physical movements to control the characters, making the transformations more immersive and engaging.

身体追踪功能增强了这种体验，允许玩家使用他们的身体动作来控制角色，使 “变身” 更加身临其境。

"Beings" is a piece of speculative storytelling that invites players to rethink and re-feel their relationship with non-human life. Through inhabiting the perspectives of various non-human beings, players explore the world beyond a human-centered worldview. Its unpredictable “transformations” and rich narrative structure create a unique, thought-provoking experience—placing humans in shifting roles within a larger ecological system.Ultimately, the project aim to inspire humans in both scientific and spiritual understandings of life.

“众生” 是一种思辨性叙事，鼓励玩家重新思考和感受他们与非人类生命的关系。玩家通过不同非人类生物的视角来探索世界，抛弃以人类为中心的世界观。其不可预测的 “变身” 和丰富的叙事创造了一种独特的，发人深省的体验，将人们置身于生态系统中的不同位置。最终，该项目旨在激发人类对生命的科学性和精神性的理解。
