My Responsibilities:
On a starry night, sitting by the fire, you find a mysterious forest spirit approach you and dive into the fire. The fire sputters and pulses, lighting up purple as the spirit dances within it.
It shoots towards the sky, illuminating the stars, tracing out a constellation. You follow, tracing out the Vulpecula in the night sky. After encountering the forest spirit, you realize you’ve been given the power to transform into the animal spirits that inhabit the land as you trace their constellations in the sky.
In order to explore the land, you must transform into the animal to explore the various terrains. Trace all the constellations to unlock all the animal spirits you can!
