About
Good Luck Valley is a 2D, narratively-driven, adventure-platformer set in a magical Spirit World which reflects the emotions of a single person. Follow Anari on her journey through the Spirit World, where every secret she uncovers draws her deeper into the world’s mysterious magic. As Anari, players will use athletic player movement and a versatile mushroom mechanic to explore a magical world, each action of her journey leaving a constructive result on the slowly-corrupting world around her. Meet spirits, each with their own magical characteristics and unique personalities; some will hinder your journey, others will guide it. But, along her journey, Anari might just find how to unite them all.

Narrative Blurb
It is storming the day Anari learns the news; her mothers illness has become terminal. Under the cover of the rain, Anari runs away from home, hoping to escape the painful emotions she has no words for, but eats her up inside. When the storm clears, she finds herself in a new world: a tall valley filled with mystical forests, spirit critters, and a familiar whisper on the wind. Something about this world feels like it was meant for her.
Gameplay
Good Luck Valley’s gameplay loop reinforces the main quest of the player: finding out where you are and how to get home. The player explores the environment, looking for answers and discovering the secrets of the Spirit World. Along the way, players use magical powers and interact with friendly Spirits to overcome obstacles and challenges, eventually finding an answer to their questions.
