Story (Brief)
In the year 3005, on a small archipelago in the Neo-Caribbean area… All the region has been devastated by the human activity that ruined 99.9% of the soils.
In that context, a little girl named Lou will be involved in the last move for the survival of humankind: gathering the last Electro-plants that resist pollution.
We don't know for sure how, nor when the Electro-plants were created. But as the legend says, if every of the 7 Electro-plants are found and gathered under the Great Graveyard, an incredible power surges and crosses the lands in order to depollute and restore the damaged Earth.
Core Gameplay Mechanics (Brief)
Explore — Main character can walk, run, jump and interact with a 3D environment (climb ropes, ride vehicles, activate/deactivate switches). Stages are different parts of a same island that will be progressively unlocked by the player.
Collect — In every stage, there is an "Electro-flower" that can be found. Once the player has found one of these special looking flowers, it unlocks a character animation and the "Electro-flowers book" is updated.
The "Electro-flowers book" is an item in the player's inventory. The number of Electro-flowers collected by the player influence the look (colors and lighting) of the "Back Capsule" of the main character.
Once all the special flowers are collected, a special object appears: "Vibe Capsule". It's the final form of the Back Capsule with special animations and colors.
Influences (Brief)
Horizon Zero Down — Guerilla Games.
Le Petit Prince — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Princess Mononoke — Hayao Miyazaki.
The Mewilo Weather Machine represents a tribute to Muriel Tramis's pioneering work in video game design, reimagined through LBDL's retro-futuristic lens. It's a celebration of Caribbean storytelling, environmental themes, and the enduring power of creative vision.
